Volunteers Aiming for 20
The Tennessee Volunteers are aiming for their 20th win of the season. The Volunteers last loss came on the road back on February 10th at Texas A+M. That’s the lone loss in February for Coach Barnes team. Tennessee has notable wins over Kentucky and Arkansas this month as well.

The Volunteers will play their final two games of February at home. Tennessee will host Texas A+M and then Auburn. Once March arrives, the Volunteers will play back to back road games at Alabama and South Carolina. The final game of the regular season is at home against the Wildcats of Kentucky.
Ugly Basketball for Tigers
Things are not pretty for Dennis Gates and his Missouri Tigers. The Tigers have not win a basketball game yet in 2024. The last win was at home over Central Arkansas on December 30th. The Tigers have lost their last two games at home, by double digits.
Missouri is 230th in all of College Basketball in offense. The Tigers are scoring just 72.2 points per game.

Sean East is the top scorer for the Tigers, with 16 points and 4.2 assists on the season.
The Tigers are on the road for the final two games of February. Missouri will play at Arkansas and Florida. Missouri then starts the month of March with back to back home games. The Tigers will host Ole Miss and then Auburn. Missouri finishes their regular season on the road at LSU.
Tigers Keep it Close
The Missouri Tigers would love to find a way to win at some point this season in conference play. The problem is – it will not be Tennessee. The Volunteers have found themselves in a pretty good spot right now, and playing solid basketball. When push comes to shove, we cannot pick the Missouri Tigers to win. But, we can pick them to cover.
They keep it close, but lose again. Bet the Missouri Tigers +12.5 over the Tennessee Volunteers on Tuesday!
