Tennessee Volunteers vs Houston Cougars Betting Prediction

Now we have the Tennessee Volunteers vs Houston Cougars Betting Prediction for both teams.

As the Midwest Regional final of the NCAA tournament takes place in Indianapolis, a matchup between two of the top defensive teams in the United States of America is taking place. At stake is a spot in the Final Four. The No. 1 seed Houston Bulldogs are a 3.5-point favorite to win their game against the No. 2 seed Tennessee Volunteers on Sunday. The Cougars are the best scoring defense in the country, allowing an average of 58.5 points per game, while the Volunteers are the eighth best scoring defense in the nation, allowing 62.9 points per game.

Despite the fact that Houston has won 16 games in a row, the team has failed to cover in six of its previous nine games, including its two most recent games in the NCAA tournament. Houston is currently in the Elite 8 of the NCAA tournament. Each of Tennessee’s previous two games in the Big Dance has resulted in the team beating the spread, and the team has won six of its last seven games and covered four of its last six games.

Given the eerie similarities that exist between the two squads, handicapping this game is going to be a headache. On the defensive end, both Houston and Tennessee are able to suffocate their opponents, and both teams have guards who are capable of putting up amazing scoring performances on offense. Chaz Lanier, who averages 18 points per game for Tennessee, and L.J. Cryer, who averages 15.3 points per game for Houston, are two legitimate stars for the Missouri Tigers and the Tennessee Volunteers, who are ranked first and third, respectively, in defensive efficiency on KenPom.com.

It’s true that we’re fighting over a very small point here. When compared against the Cougars, Tennessee’s schedule is ranked 11th at KenPom, while the Cougars’ slate is ranked 25th. Tennessee has played a superior schedule. This NCAA tournament has also been rather easy for Tennessee, as they were able to easily defeat UCLA in the second round and then completely dominate Kentucky in the Sweet 16 round. In the last minute, Houston overcame Gonzaga by scraping and clawing, and then on Friday night, they needed a last-second bucket to knock Purdue from the competition.

However, Tennessee has been playing better thus far in this tournament, has played the more difficult schedule in the more difficult conference, and has been doing better against the spread as of late. Houston remains the top seed despite these factors. Both Auburn and Alabama, two SEC teams that the Cougars met earlier in the season, were defeated by the Cougars in November, and they were also defeated by the Cougars ATS. All of this points us in the direction of the Volunteers, who ought to account for the majority of the spectators at Lucas Oil Stadium.
