Both teams put a reliance on defense, even so, there is a difference in the caliber of defense. Florida ranks 62nd in college basketball in defensive scoring while Tennessee is the number one team in the nation. Tennessee is in a two-team race for the SEC regular season title and this game is important in that race. I don't expect a letdown from Tennessee after their win over texas as they know they can't afford to lose these games.  Tennessee has talent at every position and will be playing a Florida team that did not look good against Kansas State over the weekend. Florida is not a good shooting team and will find it more difficult against the Tennessee defense. If Florida can't make shots early, they may find themselves on the wrong end of a Tennessee rout. Tennessee is too good and talented to lose this game.

Play on Tennessee
