A tune-up game for the Volunteers.
A grueling schedule takes a breather tonight as Tennessee welcomes in Georgia Southern for a Tuesday night matchup at Food City Center. The Volunteers are fresh off of a big win over Illinois on Saturday, where they battled back to find a big second half to secure a resume-building win.
Tonight they take on Georgia Southern, who are 0-9 on the season. It’s likely a depth-building game for Rick Barnes, who played just eight players during Saturday’s win. Guys like Freddie Dilione, Cade Phillips, Cam Carr, DJ Jefferson and JP Estrella should see plenty of time in the second half.
Per DraftKings Sportsbook, Tennessee is a 34 point favorite. KenPom ranks the Eagles 330th in division one, while the Volunteers check in at No. 9. The metric projects a 31 point win for Tennessee tonight.
