Florida-Tennessee Prediction
The Florida Gators could not beat Tennessee or Kentucky at home. They will have to beat the SEC’s two best teams (at least one of them) on the road if they are to secure the kind of win which will radically change their position relative to the NCAA Tournament bubble. When Florida played Tennessee a month ago, the Gators started out strong. Their defense bothered the Vols, knocking them off balance. The problem with Florida, though, is not its defense. You can count on at least one prolonged period of difficulty in nearly every game from the Gators’ offense. They launch too many threes, don’t get the ball into the hands of the players who are performing efficiently, and they lack a low-post hammer who can get easy buckets at the rim. Tennessee’s defense was too much for UF’s feeble offense. It probably won’t change here in the rematch. Tennessee 70, Florida 60. (Matt Zemek)
