In this article, we will formulate a Tennessee vs Montana Prediction for this college basketball game on Wednesday, November 13th, at the Thompson Boiling Arena.
Tennessee Looks Like They Are for Real
Tennessee looks like they are for real and they have really impressed in the first two games. In the first game of the season against Gardner-Webb, Tennessee was able to secure the 80-64 victory and in the last game against the Louisville Cardinals, they were able to secure the 77-55 victory. They were favored against Louisville, but not many expected they would win on the road by 22 points. At halftime, they were up 40-26 and they never looked back on the way to the win. As a team, the Volunteers shot 56.6 percent from the field and 52.6 percent from behind the three-point line. Zakai Zeigler finished with 19 points, seven assists, and two rebounds.
Why Tennessee Will Beat Montana
- Tennessee has won each of its last 29 games against non-conference opponents at Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center.
- Montana has lost three of its last four road games.
Montana Looks for Third Win
Montana has two wins so far this season and those games were against a Non-D1 team. The one game that was against a D1 team was against Oregon and it was an ugly game. The offense only scored 48 points while the defense gave up 79 points and that led to the defeat. Joe Pridgen had a strong game putting up 14 points and nine rebounds. In the last game, the offense was led by Kai Johnson who put up 22 points, eight rebounds, and four assists. In this game, Montana is going to need the defense to be really good.
Tennessee vs Montana Prediction
Montana’s offense was a major issue against Oregon and it’s going to be much of the same. Don’t read too much about the scoring against non-D1 teams, and they are going to really struggle. The Tennessee offense is elite, and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. Tennessee will go over the 90-point mark here and they are going to cruise here. Back Tennessee against the spread here.
