Florida (25-4) at Tennessee (20-9)
9:00 pm Eastern
ESPN
SBG Global Opening
Line: Gators – 2
Florida looks to snap out of its recent slump tonight as they take
on Tennessee in Knoxville. Florida has lost two of its last three
games and has fallen to #5 in the country. They lost 66-56 at LSU
on Saturday. "We've got to play better," Florida coach
Billy Donovan said. "That's the biggest concern. There's a
lot of factoring you can look into and draw opinions and conclusions,
but we're going to have to play better to have a chance to win."
Florida won earlier this season 94-78 at home against Tennessee
and the gambling public at SBG
Global believes the Gators will have the same effect
tonight with most early money on the Gators laying the points.
Tennessee is trying to finish its home schedule undefeated for
the first time in 31 years. Tennessee is 15-0 at Thompson-Boling
Arena with four of the victories coming against ranked opponents.
"I'm big on history and I've constantly talked to my team all
year long about (how) this is an opportunity for you to do something
no other Tennessee team has done," Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl
said. "As each team tries to carve out its niche and create
its identity, what is the identity of this team going to be? It's
all going to depend on how we finish."
Florida
is a 3 point favorite with a total of 151 at SBG Global.
Tennessee did not have leading scorer Chris Lofton in their first
matchup with Florida but they will have him tonight. He had 31 points
in an 83-72 win at Arkansas on Saturday. Lofton had 29 points in
the last meeting with Florida at Knoxville. That was last year in
an 80-76 Tennessee victory.
