Tennessee-Florida Prediction

A 1-1 SEC record is better than 0-2, but no one would dare say the Florida Gators are playing well. With five minutes left in their brutally ugly win at Arkansas on Wednesday night, the Gators were shooting under 33 percent from the floor and under 26 percent on threes. Florida had the good fortune of playing an Arkansas team which was improbably worse than the Gators were. Some nights are like that – teams win not because they were more excellent, but because their opponents plummeted to a lower standard. Now enter the Tennessee Volunteers, who made very short work of Missouri on the road and look like the best team in the SEC, hands down. Florida will treat this game as a season-defining occasion, as it should. A win transforms Florida’s outlook. However, will that be enough? Tennessee is too deep, too balanced, too good. Tennessee 72, Florida 68. (Matt Zemek)
