Tennessee vs FGCU Best Picks and Prediction
In this one, I'm most likely going to try the Florida Gulf Coast. but also probably not touching it. The result will depend on how effectively the Volunteers bounce back from its shocking loss to Colorado on Sunday. In that game, the Vols shot an appalling 25.4 percent (16-of-63) from the field and were outrebounded 47-38.
Florida Gulf Coast is scoring well through the first three games, so they should be able to hang a respectable total. It will be difficult for the Eagles if Tennessee regains its form, though.
Pick: Eagles +21.5 (-106)
