[ADAM HILL Review-Journal, 32-26-2]
Today's best bet: Tennessee (+6) over MEMPHIS
The top-ranked Tigers are loaded with talent, but their inability to hit free throws will cost them in a close game. The second-ranked Volunteers, led by star guard Chris Lofton, have the offensive firepower to take this game down to the wire. Tennessee is 24-2 and too good to pass up getting six points.
