Betting Saint Peter’s vs. Tennessee Game
Saint Peter’s then won the conference tournament, downing Fairfield in the title game. The Peacocks are 8-2 in their last 10 games.
For Tennessee, they were one of the teams in the mix for the final #1 seed in the big dance. The Volunteers lost in the SEC tournament to Mississippi State, allowing North Carolina to grab that final spot. The Volunteers won the SEC regular season, and are 24-8 on the season.
Tennessee is -21.5 in this game over Saint Peter’s. The total is listed at 129.5.
Peacock Power
If this game gets going into a track meet, the Peacocks could be in trouble. Despite being a solid basketball team, this squad only scores 65.3 points per game. That ranks 343rd in all of College Basketball. Defense is the calling card, and it will need to be intact to slow down the big Orange.
The top scorer for the Peacocks this season has been Corey Washington. Washington is scoring 16.5 points per game. He has missed 10 games this season for Saint Peter’s. Latrell Reid is second on the team.
The Peacocks that season were a 15 seed, and upset Kentucky. They went on to beat Murray State and Purdue as well, before losing to North Carolina. They are 3-4 in NCAA Tournament games in school history.
Tennessee Itching for Final Four
Tennessee will start the NCAA Tournament on a two game losing streak. After winning seven straight games, the Volunteers lost at home to Kentucky to finish the SEC regular season. Then the blowout loss to Mississippi State has them searching a bit. Tennessee scored just 56 in the loss, which is far below the 79.5 per game on the season.
Rick Barnes has 199 wins as the head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers. But, his inability to win in the tournament has been held against him. The Volunteers are 3-3 in their last six tournament games. Last season they fell in the Sweet 16 to Florida Atlantic. In 2022, they lost as a 3 seed to #11 Michigan. In 2021, they lost in the first round as a #5 seed to Oregon State.
Saint Peter’s vs. Tennessee Betting Prediction | Competitive First Round Game
The Peacocks are going to give it all they can in this game. Saint Peter’s will not back down from the Volunteers. Tennessee is going to need to hit shots, as they will see their opponent coming straight at them. In the end, the talent wins, and that is Tennessee. But, this will be a good, and competitive game. Bet Saint Peter’s +21.5 in this game over Tennessee. The Volunteers move to the second round.
