Tennessee / Charleston Under
The mighty SEC will match wits with the Southern Conference when the Tennessee Volunteers (3-5, 5-3 ATS) battle the Charleston Cougars (7-1, 4-3 ATS) on Wednesday night, tip-off from TD Bank Arena is scheduled to go live on ESPN2 & ESPN3.com starting at 9:00 ET.
Since covering its first five games of the season and posting a 3-2 SU mark which included competitive losses to both Duke and Memphis, things have spiraled out of control for head coach Cuonzo Martin’s Volunteers who have gone on to lose both straight up and against spread in each of their last three hardwood clashes. With both Scotty Hopson and Tobias Harris no longer members of the team, the Vols have suffered tremendously at the defensive end of the court giving up an average of 73.1 PPG (#291) while allowing the opposition to shoot 45% from the field (#266). Thankfully, Tennessee has done a solid job cleaning the glass outrebounding opponents by 4.3 rebounds per game, which has led to excelled play at the offensive end of the court where guard Trae Golden’s 15.1 PPG average has led his team to a 79.2 PPG average (#31). Tennessee enters this spot 1-3 SU but 3-1 ATS away from Knoxville on the year.
Charleston currently sits atop the South Division of the Southern Conference entering its fourth neutral court game of the season; the Cougars went 2-1 SU throughout its run in the Battle for Atlantis Tournament right before Thanksgiving. After arriving back home, the Cougars went on to pound The Citadel 83-64 (-16.5) in their SoCon opener before squeaking one out in overtime against Chattanooga their last time out. Head coach Bobby Cremins’ squad possesses four double digit scorers with Antwaine Wiggins’ 17.4 PPG leading the way. Big man Trent Wiedeman has really taken his game to the next level registering a near double-double every night with 13.5 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. Scoring hasn’t been a problem (#59 at 76 PPG), but preventing the opposition from doing so as well has been with the Cougars surrendering a 41% conversion rate from the field (#210) and a 31.3% shooting percentage from beyond the arc (#119).
These teams have split their last two meetings in each of the last two seasons with Tennessee pasting Charleston 86-69 in 2009 and the Cougars returning the favor last season winning 91-78 as hefty 11 point underdogs; the ‘over’ cashed in both contests. The Volunteers have failed to cover each of their last seven following a pointspread defeat and possess a terrible 1-8 ATS mark against the L/9 .500 opponents they’ve faced. Charleston has covered each of its last four against the SEC, and carries an impressive 55-25 ATS tally in its L/80 nonconference matchups.Comment

South Florida +115 over AUBURN Pinnacle
Lots of reasons to lay off the Tigers here and we’ll start with the fact that they’ve been off since December 2 when they were drilled by Seton Hall 81-59. That was the only quality team that Auburn faced this season and they’ve only played five games in total. The other four games were against McNeese St., Kennesaw, Nicholls State and Arkansas Pine Bluff. Meanwhile, South Florida will play its 12th game of the season tonight. The Bulls have already played the likes of Kansas, Old Dominion, VCU and Penn State. They lost by four to the Nittany Lions and they took a very good ODU to OT. The real deal here is that the Auburn Tigers are nothing this season. They scheduled a ton of games against cupcakes and that’s not going to prepare them for when they have to play SEC teams. The Bulls are not a threat to do anything in the Big East but at least they scheduled some games they had no chance of winning. That counts and it makes them more battle tested than the Tigers by a wide margin. Auburn is unlikely to beat any quality team this year. Play South Florida +115 (Risking 2 units).
