We like the Tennessee Volunteers to defeat the UCLA Bruins on Saturday at 9:40pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Tennessee is very underrated we think in this tournament. It has as good of a shot as anyone to win it all.

The Volunteers have had a really good second half to the season which saw them beat Auburn and go to the SEC Championship Match against Florida. -- Chaz Lanier has been great.

They are 25-4 when playing as the favorite on the year.

UCLA did look good in its first game against Utah State. But it's not built for March.

The Bruins lost badly in the Big Ten Tournament against Wisconsin, and has been losing every other game recently.

We think this game could be a double digit win for Tennessee.
