Texas A&M vs. Tennessee Prediction
I’m on Tennessee here. I think this Texas A&M team is still one of the worst shooting teams in the conference, and I don’t trust the Aggies to break the Vols down on the road. Tennessee is a tough out at home and I think the Vols get a big win here before their murderer’s row to close out the year. Give me Tennessee.
