5-Unit Play. Take #830 Arkansas (-4.5) over Tennessee (8:30 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 26)
I think that this is a great spot for the Razorbacks to lay the wood. They got Isaiah Joe back last Saturday and he was outstanding, scoring 21 points in a 10-point home win. They are a completely different team with their best scorer on the floor. Not only that, but this team is not as bad as the results show from their time without Joe. They went 0-5 while he was injured. But two of those losses were in overtime, including one to Auburn. They had a third loss by just one point to a very tough Mississippi State team and the other two losses were on the road (at Tennessee and at Florida). So these guys are due for a bit of a bounce back. Tennessee is just 3-6 SU over the last month and none of the wins have been that impressive. The Vols are also coming off a total collapse against Auburn, blowing a 17-point second half lead in a loss to Auburn. The Vols also have bigger games on deck against Florida, Kentucky and Auburn after this one. So they are in a bit of a letdown/look ahead spot. Beyond that, Arkansas is desperate and they have a revenge motivation. The Razorbacks are also generally excellent at home and I think that they will prove it again tonight. The public loves the Vols in this one, with over 70 percent of the action coming in on them. I'll go the other way
