Free Betting Pick: Tennessee Volunteers -1.5
The Tennessee Volunteers have had some close games in the NCAA Tournament, but after blowing a 25-point to the Iowa Hawkeyes and being forced to play overtime, they should come to play. Tennessee is an upperclassman-loaded team, and they will be ready to handle the Purdue Boilermakers. Carsen Edwards is a one-man show, and I expect Rick Barnes to throw the right personnel at him to cause some disruption. Grant Williams is arguably the best big man left in the NCAA Tournament, and I expect him to have yet another big game against a sophomore and freshmen loaded frontcourt. Tennessee wins and covers, 75-70.
