Tennessee Volunteers vs. Syracuse Orange  Betting Preview

The Tennessee Volunteers are starting the season with National Title hopes at the front of their thoughts. Nothing in the first three games of the season has changed that with 81 points per game, and a defense that allowed just under 60 points per game.

In the most recent win for Tennessee, Dalton Knecht scored 18 points to lead the way. The Volunteers are getting 19.6 per game from the guard, while Zakai Zeigler is dishing out 3.3 assists per game.

Tennessee will have to be better on the glass in this game. The Volunteers are averaging just 38 rebounds per game, which is 184th in all of College Basketball so far. After Tennessee is done in Hawaii, things will not get a ton easier. The Volunteers have a trip to North Carolina and a game against Illinois remaining before Christmas.

Syracuse’s Unexpected Surge

The Orange are not one of the projected contenders to take down the Atlantic Coast Conference this season. But, through three games, they are one of 8 teams within a loss. The Orange trailed Colgate by 24 points in the game but rallied to win by four.

In the win, Chris Bell led the way with 24 points. Judah Mintz added 23 in the game. On the season, the Orange are led by Mintz, with 23 points per game, and 5 assists. Mintz is playing nearly 32 minutes per game, and making just over 42% of his shots.

The Syracuse Orange, following their trip to Hawaii will have the LSU Tigers on their schedule. A trip to Virginia to start Atlantic Coast Conference play will start in December. The Orange also are at Georgetown and host Oregon before Christmas. The Orange start January with a trip to Cameron Indoor to take on Duke.

Tennessee Volunteers vs. Syracuse Orange Betting Picks

Both these teams are excited about getting a chance to play in such an elite Maui Invitational early in the season. Both teams have high hopes for the season, but one has more realistic chances to cut down the nets when March gets here.

That is the Tennessee Volunteers. This team is loaded. They have athleticism, can guard, and have the ability to shoot the basketball about as well as anyone. The Volunteers would love to get a chance to get to the Maui title game, which would give them three chances at really high-level basketball at the end of November.

But, in the end, the point spread is too high. A program like Syracuse is going to stick around in this one. While Tennessee wins, the Syracuse Orange cover.  After looking at the scores and odds, bet Syracuse +14.5 over Tennessee in a battle of the Orange teams. Enjoy the game, and we cannot wait for a great season of College Basketball and then our final betting on March Madness!

• NCAAB Pick: Syracuse Spread (+14.5).
