any better than #15 seed Wofford who also scored 62 points against Tennessee in Tennessee's first game. Damn, that hurts. So if their forecast is accurate, the Bruins will have an early start in recruiting portal players. Although I'm still hopeful, I would be extremely surprised if the Bruins could hold Tennessee to under 62 points.
Only two teams have held #6 rated Tennessee under 62 points this season. Top 5 teams Auburn and Florida. Tenn lost at Auburn 53 to 51 and lost at Florida, 73 to 43. Overall Tennessee averages near 75 PPG while holding opponents average to 63.
In their post season play they are 3-1 having beaten Texas 83 to 72, #4 Auburn 70 to 65, lost to #3 Florida 86 to 77, and beat 15 seed Wofford 77 to 62. I'm hoping the Bruins come out with their A game and give themselves a chance to advance. I have no doubt that the Bruins are a significantly more talented team than 15 seed Wofford.
