Murray State at Tennessee 11/12/19 - College Basketball Picks & Predictions

Off to a 1-0 start to the season, the Murray State Racers travel to Knoxville to battle the Tennessee Volunteers. The Racers made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season, but must do it this season with JA Morant who has moved on to the Memphis Grizzlies.

 Tevin Brown is the leading scorer for the Racers and is averaging 17 points per game. KJ Williams is a solid low post presence for the Racers and is averaging 15 points per game and a team high 11 rebounds per contest. Anthony Smith rounds out the double figure scorers for the Racers and is averaging 10 points per game.

 Off to a 1-0 start to the season the Tennessee Volunteers play host to the Murray State Racers. The Volunteers went 29-5 last season and made it all the way to the Sweet 16 but lost several players to the NBA. A repeat of last season's performance will be unbelievably challenging.

 Lamonte Turner has picked up a lot of the scoring slack for the Volunteers this season and is averaging 17 points per game and 6 assists per game. Yves Pons is an additional scoring threat for the Volunteers is and averaging 15 points and 7 rebounds per game. John Fulkerson is the leading rebounder for the Vols and is averaging 9 boards per contest.

Tennessee is heading to the game here with a decent offense and a nice rebounding chance with Pons. What else helps the Vols out is the Racers have had their leader from last year move on to the NBA. Look for the Racers to struggle against a better competition and end up losing the game here as the Vols play decent here. Final Score Prediction, Tennessee Volunteers win and cover ATS 75-60.
