(7) Louisville (-3.5) vs. Indiana (+3.5)
Gainbridge Fieldhouse
Indianapolis, Indiana
Saturday 12/6, 2:15 pm EST, CBS
SM Pick: Louisville -3.5
Well, I picked Louisville against Arkansas on the road and that did no go well. This isn't a true road game, and there should be a healthy amount of Cardinals fans in the house.
I like this Indiana team a lot and Darian Devries has revitalized the program a bit. That being said, I can't see this Louisville bunch losing or even keeping it that close two games in a row. They will play angry after their loss in Fayetteville. Cards to cover -3.5
(11) Illinois (-2.5) vs. (16) Tennessee (+2.5)
Bridgestone Arena
Nashville, Tennessee
Saturday 12/6, 8 pm EST, ESPN
SM Pick: Tennessee +2.5
Both great offenses, so this should be fantastic. Also two orange schools, and I would take the Illini orange all day.
Ja'Kobi Gillespie has been amazing for the Vols, for sure one of the best transfers this year. Home crowd, fiery offense, top 15 defense: give me Tennessee to cover +2.5.
