    Listening to UT players, they will drive the basket looking for fouls wanting to get to the line and get UF in foul trouble. They will push the ball off of missed baskets and seek to force refs to call fouls on us. Be prepared to see tons of fouls being called especially on us. That's the only way I see they can hang with us.

    From Eric's piece:
    "Florida held the Volunteers to 12-56 shooting from the field with 12 turnovers–meaning it was just as likely for them to throw the ball to a Gator as it was for them to put the ball through the hoop."

    That's got to be some motivation for them. This could be a real brawl if they try and drive every time for high percentage shots.

    Different day, different place but a UF loss would be surprising after we made them look like a high school team. Weird games happen but that was no fluke. This team is tough.

    Tennessee 4.5 point favorites. Vegas must still love the Vols despite their recent struggles.
