Tennessee State at Tenn Martin

This should be an interesting game as it is a natural rivalry, and both teams have had a similar year. Tennessee Martin is 11-15 overall and 8-8 in Ohio Valley Conference action. The Tennessee St. Tigers are 13-14 and 9-7 in league play. These teams are pretty close in KenPom rating as the Tigers are #265 and the Skyhawks are #285. Tennessee St. is a better shooting team, and a better rebounding team. Tennessee St. has really shown improvement as the season has gone one. The Tigers have won five of their last seven games, and are 6-1 ATS in those seven. I like Tennessee St. in this one.
