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?
