What to Know

Get ready for an SEC battle as the #22 Tennessee Volunteers and the Texas A&M Aggies will face off at 7 p.m. ET Tuesday at Thompson-Boling Arena. The Volunteers are out to keep their nine-game home win streak alive.

Tennessee was just a bucket shy of a win this past Saturday and fell 52-51 to the Texas Longhorns. Guard Kennedy Chandler had a pretty forgettable game, playing for 30 minutes but putting up just eight points on 4-for-11 shooting.

Meanwhile, the point spread favored A&M this past Saturday, but luck did not. They took a 74-63 bruising from the South Carolina Gamecocks. Guard Andre Gordon (14 points) and guard Quenton Jackson (12 points) were the top scorers for A&M.

This next game looks promising for Tennessee, who are favored by a full 11.5 points. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (10-5), so they might be worth a quick bet.

The losses put Tennessee at 14-6 and the Aggies at 15-6. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Volunteers come into the matchup boasting the 10th most takeaways per game in college basketball at 17.8. But A&M is even better: they rank sixth in college basketball when it comes to takeaways, with 18.1 on average. We'll see if that edge gives A&M a route to victory.
