forecast

It is not easy to choose a matchup between two really heavy competitors. Tennessee and Florida will enter the game as the winner of their first two games in the Sec tournament on Sunday. Tennessee has won four of his last five games, while Florida is unbeaten in his last five.

On Sunday there are good ways to win for the volunteers, primarily the strong defense and a combination of Tennessees. However, Florida has recently been on fire. The Gators won their last five games with an average of 15.8 points per game and have only one win of less than 14 points in their last five games.

I see a very competitive game on Sunday in Nashville, and while Tennessee has every chance of how great things have looked like in the tournament so far, Florida has been a juggernach in the past few weeks. But I give Tennessee the light, easy lead because I am curious whether the defense of the Vols can shock the gator to a little freezing. Nevertheless, however, I remember how great Florida has been lately. It will be a struggle for everyone who gains this rivalry.

Everything can happen – it Is Finally, the SEC tournament. It only means more, right?
