    Oakland v Tennessee

    Anybody here see value in Oakland +11? There is slight RLM on Oakland with a small majority of the public on Tennessee but are the Vols good enough to win by double digits here?

    Oakland has some really good shooters who seem to be underperforming so far this year but there terrible on defense and the Vols seem to have a pretty good inside presence. Clearly the Vols are the better team, but if Oakland shoots to their potential (especially from 3pt land) they could keep it close enough to cover. Anyone else think so?

    Oakland is a solid bet against most 2nd tier programs,
    but I backed off the idea because of Tennessee pedigree.
    Lots of questions about the Volunteers but recruitment talent pool
    is usually not one. And like the previous poster said, Oakland
    could be running out of road fuel.
    no play for me

    Thanks for the input guys. I ended up taking GSU and Oakland. I just feel GSU is a better team and there at home so 3.5 points shouldn't be too much for them to cover. As far as Oakland, I took them pretty much on the hopes that they will shoot more to their potential tonight. I realize Tennessee is good defensively but they haven't really played strong competition and if Oakland is hitting three's like they can I see a back door cover late. Anyways BOL to everyone.

    LOL anybody watching this game? I know Tennessee is a good defending team but man Oakland cannot make a shot to save their lives. It's so bad that its comical.

    any of the threes would drop, it might
    feel competitive... and they might as well
    keep rainin' threes, because they're missin'

    LOL its unreal how bad they are shooting. I figured they would get dominated 1H though which could allow a back door cover if they shoot better in 2H.

    Yeah that is a good point you brought up but they are a pretty good perimeter shooting team so while the road trip has taken a toll on them I didn't expect they'd shoot 16% in 1H lol.

    well think about it yes 16% is attrocious lmao but they certainly dont take a PLANE they take a CHARTER BUS cramped up traveling the country sitting on the bus for a whole day. Get off the bus antsy as hell to play ball and move there legs. Go play basketball lose, get upset get back on the bus go back home. Rest for 1 day get back on the bus and do the samet thing again lmao

    LOL all good points man, that's why you're a winner. I think Oakland will be a good team to back just not this early in the season. The announcer in the game made a good point and something that I will take to heart going forward, at the beginning of the year offenses are trying to catch up to the defenses and that was certainly the case in this game. Oakland has good perimeter shooting but the combination of a 10K+ mile road trip and the players still trying to find their shots equals a lot of lopsided losses.
