Tennessee vs. LSU

The LSU Tigers brought in the best high school player in the country in Ben Simmons this season. The freshman has not disappointed, but the Tigers team as a whole has. Simmons was expected to elevate the Tigers into an elite team, but the supporting cast has not been good enough to do so, and LSU is 18-13 on the season. As a result, they will have to either go deep or win the SEC Tournament to get to the Big Dance. At 15-18 on the season, Tennessee has to win the tournament to get a bid, and they have played at a high level thus far. They crushed Auburn, and sprung a huge upset as a 12-point underdog yesterday vs. Vanderbilt. Tennessee has the mojo going, and certainly possesses the confidence to make a run here vs. an LSU team that has faltered down the stretch at 3-5 when they needed to win. Play on Tennessee.
