Tennessee vs. Michigan odds & predictions

• Tip-off: 2:15 p.m. ET
• Location: United Center (Chicago)
• TV: CBS
• Steaming: March Madness Live/Paramount+

Tennessee vs. Michigan prediction: Michigan -7.5

"Michigan shoots 51.1% from the field, fourth-best in the country, and allows opponents to make 38.6% of shots, ranking second-best. While Tennessee's 24th-ranked shooting defense may be able to slow Michigan a bit, the Volunteers' 92nd-ranked shooting offense is in trouble." - via Philip Wood

UConn vs. Duke odds & predictions

• Tip-off: 5:05 p.m. ET
• Location: Capital One Arena (Washington, D.C.)
• TV: CBS
• Steaming: March Madness Live/Paramount+

UConn vs. Duke prediction: Under 134.5

"Duke allowed 75 points and 40.6% 3-point shooting to an oftentimes offensively challenged St. John’s, which will likely have the public backing the Over. But that would also ignore how good the Blue Devils have been over the last two seasons while coming off a poor defensive performance, going 11-0 straight up and 7-4 against the spread when allowing 75-plus points in their previous game." - via Mike Spector
