Wofford at Tennessee

Tennessee beat Wofford 77-62 in the first round of the 2025 NCAA Tournament, a game that finished with 139 combined points. Wofford played that one under a different coach, and neither team has a game this season to judge, since tonight is the opener for both. What carries over from that meeting is how Wofford went after it: 47% of its shots came from three-point range, and the jumpers pulled Tennessee's defense away from the rim. Tennessee is ranked eighth in the AP poll and 22nd in the KenPom ratings. Its exhibition games against Xavier and Duke were ugly. The Vols then played a closed scrimmage against Davidson without Juke Harris or Terrence Hill Jr., and I give that scrimmage little weight. Tennessee's game notes list both guards in the projected starting five for the opener. The OVER is the bet tonight, with Wofford's three-point volume meeting a Tennessee lineup that has Harris and Hill back in the starting five.
