E. Tennessee State vs. UT Chattanooga

Southern Tournament - Quarterfinals - Harrah's Cherokee Center - Asheville, NC

 

UT Chatanooga comes into this game at 17-7 on the season. The Moccasins saw a 6 game winning streak turn into a pair of losses to conclude the regular season. Chattanooga played two very close games in the regular season vs E. Tennessee St., winning both by a scant 2 points. E. Tennessee St. finished the season at just 11-11 and a 1-5 finish both straight up and ATS makes this line look a bit out of whack, as they are a tiny favorite here. E. Tennessee has struggled away from their home court on the season where they have shot a woeful 40.5% and just 28.4% from deep. I don't see any of this translating to a win to open the Tournament. Make the play on UT Chatanooga.
