The over is 4-1 in Colonels last 5 Wednesday games. The under is 4-0 in Volunteers last 4 Wednesday games.

The Tennessee Volunteers have Maryland on deck, so this is a look ahead spot, but that’s the only reason to fade them here. Tennessee is comfortably the better team, and the Eastern Kentucky Colonels have had their struggles with a schedule that hasn’t been all that difficult. Eastern Kentucky doesn’t have a lot of guys who can create their own shot. Give me the Vols in a blowout victory.
