Tennessee at Auburn: Three things to know

1. The Volunteers dropped out of the Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll after suffering a shaky 70-55 loss to Kentucky last Saturday. Tennessee rebounded with a midweek win at Vanderbilt, but the Vols have been an inconsistent on-again-off-again proposition since starting the season 10-1.
2. The Tigers have had a rough February. AU is 1-6 over its last seven games. The Tigers have been outshot, 47% to 41%, over that stretch and have committed 15.6 turnovers per game. Auburn heads into Saturday’s game having lost three in a row on its home floor.
3. AU has a possible injury absence to overcome. Freshman G Sharife Cooper missed the Tigers’ Tuesday game against Florida — a 74-57 loss — and is listed as doubtful (ankle) for Saturday. Cooper scored 26 points in his last game (Feb. 20 at LSU) and is Auburn’s leading scorer this winter. The Powder Springs, Ga., native is averaging 20.2 points and 8.1 assists per game.

Against the spread (ATS)

The Volunteers are 0-4 ATS in their last four games following a straight-up win. In this series, the Underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. The Vols figure to be able to leverage turnovers into a two-possession lead in this one. The Cooper injury for AU is significant, but the Tigers’ shooting numbers at home and their ability to get to the free-throw line give some credence to a fade-the-public angle.

TAKE THE TIGERS +7.5 (-110).

Over/Under (O/U)

The Under is: 3-1 in the Vols’ last four games …  5-0 in UT’s last five road games vs. a team with a winning home record … 6-1 in the Vols’ last seven road games overall.

And that’s the lean here: BACK THE UNDER 145.5 (-110).
