Marquette vs. Tennessee Pick and Preview 12/16/08
8th ranked Tennessee will matchup with 24th ranked Marquette at Nashville, Tennessee on Tuesday night. The Volunteers will try and bounce back from an 88-72 loss to Temple they suffered on Saturday. Marquette and Tennessee have met just six times in history with the Golden Eagles holding a 4-2 series edge.
Tennessee at Auburn Pick and Preview
The Auburn Tigers will try and send Tennessee to their worst start in 14 years as they host the Volunteers on Saturday. Tennessee has not played well this season and it doesn’t figure to get any easier on Saturday against the Tigers. Auburn nearly pulled off the upset last week against LSU but lost 26-21 as LSU scored with just over a minute to go.
Tennessee at UCLA Pick and Preview
The excitement is back at UCLA as new head coach Rick Neuheisel takes over this season. The Bruins under Neuheisel should be improved, but maybe not right away. New offensive coordinator Norm Chow is another reason why optimism is high at UCLA. The problem for UCLA is that both of their projected starting quarterbacks are out. Patrick Cowan is out with a knee injury and will miss the entire season while Ben Olson is out for at least two months with a foot injury. Third-stringer Kevin Craft, who started five games at San Diego State in 2006, and redshirt freshman Chris Forcier will be running the UCLA offense.
