THE OHIO STATE BUCKEYES WILL LOSE TO
THE TENNESSEE VOLS
3 Headed Monster
G - Chris Lofton - 21ppg / 47.8 FG% / 41.7 3PT% / 81 FT%
G - JaJuan Smith - 15ppg / 45.4 FG% / 36 3PT% / 72.9 FT%
G - Ramar Smith - 11ppg / 43.1 FG% / 31 3PT% / 67 FT%
I love these 3 guards on Tenn. They all are excellent shooters and love the 3 ball...vrs LBST the trio each scored over 20 pts, and all 3 shot 50% or better from beyond the arc. Lofton also had 20 on the Cavaliers in round 2. This team is on a mission and really shut Singletary down.
These 2 teams are no strangers, they had a meeting earlier in the season where the Vols traveled to Ohio State and lost by 2. Tenn is very well coached and this is the biggest game of these kids careers. The Buckeyes are lucky making it to this round as they were very close to being eliminated when they played Xavier. They should have been eliminated and if they don't play flawless basketball, this will be their last game. Nobody on this Buckeye squad has seen the Sweet 16 and the pressure will be on in a neutral court.
The Alamo dome will be behind the Vols and would love to see Oden and the #1 seed take a long ride back to Ohio St. The Vols love the quicker pace and succeed when they are able to play their ball. Their key is feeding off Lofton. They have some great players but Lofton getting his touches, and baskets, is key. If the Vols can control the pace and run Oden up and down, getting him tired, they can win this game. The three games Ohio St. lost this season, they had to play at a pace quicker than what they would like.
Lofton will need support, because he can not win this game by himself. Dane Bradshaw will have to show good vision and feed the ball to the shooters. Chism will need to do the best job he can to contain Oden, but he will need help and Bruce Pearl will have something drawn up I am sure of it.
Lets not forget that this team beat Florida and dominated them for most of the game. It was a home game, yes, but they are more than capable of beating this Ohio St. team and I love the coaching and players the Vols have.
On offense the Vols LOVE to run and LOVE to put up 3's in transition and can get huge momentum in their favor when they hit. They like to press and force turnovers that they can score off of. They have great depth and like to go 9 deep because they have the athleticism to do so.
It is only Tuesday and this line will change I am sure, but right now the money line is at +170.
I will hold off before making this play to see if I can get a better number than +170, and I think I will be able to closer to game time.
LETS GO VOLS SEND OHIO ST. HOME
