00:00All right, DRS, next up as we look at Bahamar today, we go to a matchup between Tennessee
00:11and Virginia.
00:12Now, the Vols, a top 15 team in the country, 12 and a half point favorite against UVA.
00:17Of course, Virginia and the news around Tony Bennett shocked the college basketball landscape
00:22about two and a half weeks prior to the season beginning, but UVA is perfect to start off
00:28this year in catching 12 and a half points, total representative of a really good volunteers
00:33defense in Virginia Pac-Line basketball, 125 and a hook.
00:38Yeah, another interesting one too, and the reason why I brought up how many games are
00:41going to be played, sometimes you play that first game here, you get used to your surroundings,
00:44the shooting eye here, you're practicing a couple of days there, then you play again.
00:47But if we're looking at both of these teams, Tennessee's offense, 22nd in the country,
00:51how about this, 41.6% from three-point range, and then you look at Virginia.
00:55How about this, improves to top 10 in the country at close to 45% from three-point range.
01:00It's one of those where 125 and a half is a low number.
01:03These two teams shoot very good from three-point range.
01:05The question is, are they used to shooting from three-point range here in a convention
01:09center as opposed to their home arena?
01:11Because as we know also, Tennessee and Virginia probably not playing too many road games here
01:15to start the season.
01:16A lot of these numbers against inferior opponents in their home building, maybe that struggle.
01:20So in the two games here tonight, Baylor St. John's is 152 and a half.
01:24That's a lot higher.
01:25Lean under.
01:26Same thing for me.
01:27Even though it's 125 and a half, I still lean under here as they try to get used to the surroundings.
01:30I don't think both of these teams are going to shoot 40-plus percent from three-point
01:34range against each other.
01:35I'll lean on the under as well here.
