Tennessee vs. Saint Peter's Analysis

Tennessee got crushed in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals by Mississippi State, but the Volunteers will bounce back here in a big way.

Saint Peter’s was everyone’s darling two years ago, and it’s nice to see them in the NCAA Tournament again. That said, Dalton Knecht and the Vols will likely play their way to a Sweet 16 appearance with this draw.

The Peacocks have a tough defense, but they rank horribly on offense (305th in efficiency). Inside, Saint Peter’s will have issues as they shoot just a touch over 42%. Tennessee shoots a lot of 3s, but can defend inside and out. There are very few areas where the Peacocks could excel offensively.

Tennessee might play a bit more slowly in this contest, but it should advance in a rout.
