What to Know

After two games on the road, the Tennessee Volunteers are heading back home. They will take on the Ole Miss Rebels at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Thompson-Boling Arena. Tennessee will be strutting in after a win while Ole Miss will be stumbling in from a loss.

The Volunteers made easy work of the Vanderbilt Commodores on Saturday and carried off a 66-45 victory. It was another big night for G Jordan Bowden, who had 21 points.

Meanwhile, Ole Miss was close but no cigar on Saturday as they fell 80-76 to the LSU Tigers. G Breein Tyree did his best for Ole Miss, finishing with 36 points (a whopping 47% of their total).

Tennessee is the favorite in this one, with an expected 7.5-point margin of victory. 3-7 against the spread at home, they are no cash cow. That said, the Rebels aren't so hot on the road, where they are 1-3.

The Volunteers got away with a 73-71 win when the two teams previously met in February of last year. Will they repeat their success, or do the Rebels have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
