Wyoming (5-4, 4-1 ATS) at (9) Tennessee (7-1, 3-2-1 ATS)
The Volunteers shoot for their fourth consecutive win overall and try to remain unbeaten at home when they welcome Wyoming to Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville.
Tennessee has ripped off three straight double-digit victories since suffering a 73-72 loss to then-No. 7 Purdue in the Paradise Jam championship game in Puerto Rico on Nov. 23. Most recently, the Volunteers pounded Middle Tennessee State 75-54 in Nashville on Friday, barely covering as a 20-point favorite. They’ve scored at least 72 points in seven of their eight games, averaging 85 points per game while shooting 50.7 percent from field. Defensively, Tennessee gives up just 60.5 ppg (37.8 percent shooting), yielding less than 70 points in all seven wins.
Like Tennessee, the Cowboys have won three in a row, the last two by identical 76-70 scores over Loyola Marymount (covering as a four-point home favorite) and Northern Colorado (cashing as a one-point neutral-site ‘dog). Wyoming can fill the bucket, putting up 75.4 ppg (41.7 percent), but the Cowboys don’t play much defense, allowing 70 points or more in seven of eight contests for an average of 74.1 ppg (41.2 percent).
The Cowboys’ only true road game this year came at Denver on Nov. 25, and they lost 80-77 but covered as a 6½-point underdog. Tennessee is 4-0 at home (1-1 ATS in lined action).
Wyoming has failed to cover in five of six games on Tuesday, but otherwise the Cowboys are on ATS runs of 4-1 overall, 4-1 on the road, 4-0 after a SU win, 7-2 after a spread-cover and 8-3 against opponents with a winning record. Conversely, the Vols have failed to cash in nine of 12 after a spread-cover and they’re 0-3-1 ATS in their last four against winning teams.
The Cowboys are on “under” runs of 13-3 overall in lined action, 6-1 on the highway and 5-0 after both a SU and ATS win. Likewise, Tennessee is on “under” streaks of 16-5 overall, 4-0 in non-conference play, 7-1 after a SU win, 22-8 after a spread-cover and 4-1 on Tuesday.
ATS ADVANTAGE: WYOMING and UNDER
