Tennessee Volunteers vs. Ohio State Buckeyes – Sweet 16 Betting Preview

The Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Men’s College Tournament is always full of surprises and big upsets, and Friday should be no exception. One of the key match ups in the third round is the Tennessee Volunteers vs. the Ohio State Buckeyes.

The Tennessee Volunteers have had a tough year so far this season. They lost Tyler Smith to a dismissal, and he was likely going to be the best player on the team. On top of that, they have had multiple suspensions and other problems on the team

Even with all of these setbacks, the Tennessee Volunteers have been able to step it up and have made it to the third round of the tournament. They have utilized the entire team to be able to make it this far into the post season.

Wayne Chism has played a big leadership role on the team, but every player has been able to step up offensively and especially defensively. They have kept their two opponents shooting below .382 from the field.

The Ohio State Buckeyes come in as the number 2 seed and are heavily favored to win this game. With Evan Turner leading the way, the team battled it out for third place in the Big Ten Conference. Turner has also showed he can be clutch with him making a long three ball in order to beat Georgia Tech on Sunday. He scored 29 points and had nine assists and nine rebounds in that win.

The only problem for the Ohio State Buckeyes is their lack of depth on the bench. This could be a factor to keep them from going too much farther in the tournament.
