Florida vs Tennessee College Basketball Betting Preview

Florida got off to a rough start in conference play, but has since bounced back nicely, winning three of its last four. Most recently, the Gators lost at Ole Miss by a score of 70-54. This team has shown that they can usually only go as far as striker Colin Castleton can take them. He averages more than 15 points, nine rebounds and two and a half blocks per game. Unfortunately for the Gators, he is one of only two players averaging double figures this season. If Castleton has a rough night or slows down, Florida doesn’t have many other options.

Tennessee comes into this matchup riding a two-game winning streak. Most recently, the Volunteers defeated the #13 LSU Tigers 64-50. Tennessee is led by the play of its two starting shooting guards Santiago Vescovi and Kennedy Chandler. While their offense is no joke, averaging over 75 points per game, it’s their defense that makes them so hard to beat. Tennessee allows just over 63 points per game to opponents. Their offense is often what holds them back, as four of their five losses this season have come when they scored fewer than 70 points.

Florida vs Tennessee Prediction | College Basketball Betting Picks

Colin Castleton will make life difficult in the paint for the Tennessee shooting guards. Tennessee is deep enough in the forward position to be able to throw multiple lengths at Castleton at once. Both teams are certainly deep, but neither bench has been consistent this season. For Florida, that has been especially true in the SEC game.

Both teams struggle to produce much offense at times. Both teams also get most of their scoring from just two players. If any of those players on either team have a bad night, they’ll have a hard time scoring. When you combine that with the fact that both teams give up around 63 points per game, the final score should be somewhere between 60 and 60.
