    Early Morning CBB. OK St. +1.5 over Tennessee

    I'm sure the public will be on Tennessee because of the way both teams played yesterday. OK St. barely squeaked by Akron and Tennessee beat UNC Asheville by about 10 but led nearly the whole game.

    The Cowboys return LeBryon Nash who is an absolute beast. Another player to watch from OKSU today is Marcus Smart, an incoming freshman guard who was a McDonald's all-american. This kid can play. This is a very young OK St. team, but I think they win by about 5-8 today. Tennessee is projected to finish 5th in a weak SEC, and I just don't see them getting it done today. Trae Golden is a very solid point guard but after him their talent drops off, and they have to rely on some freshman to get it done. Anytime you have to rely on a lot of freshman, it takes a few games to gel. Tennessee will be ok this year and may even sneak into the tournament, but I don't think they get it done today. Thoughts?

    Thanks for the writeup, still on the fence about this one. Going to do an hours worth the research before pulling the trigger. My initial thoughts were Ok St as well.

    This lines moving up. It's @ 2.5 right now. I'm going to wait until tipoff to see if I can get it @ 3+

    You're going to give me 3.5 points now on OK ST? That's where I'm heading, with a 1/2 size play on the ML as well for +155.

    Good luck everyone.

    Cowboys will win this one going away. The Vols can't hit the backside of a barn......and OK St looks like they are motivated today.
    I say Cowboys win this by 12-15 points!
