The No.1 team in the nation, Tennessee Volunteers, will visit the scrappy Illinois Fighting Illini on Saturday at State Farm Center. The Vols have kept their record unscathed after 9 games, beating quality teams along the way such as Virginia 64-42, Baylor 77-62, Syracuse 96-70, and Miami 75-62. Senior guard Chaz Lenier is the leading scorer for Tennessee, averaging 19.1 points on 48FG%. He dropped 22 points in the win vs. Miami. The Fighting Illini has proven that they are still a contender in a brutally competitive Big 10. Illinois leaned on Kasparas Jakucionis (24 points) and Tre White (23 assists) to power past the Nebraska Cornhuskers 86-80. Illinois just shot 42.2 FG% but they seized control of the game by outrebounding Illinois 40-29.

Our Illinois vs Tennessee Prediction
Tennessee will be tested in their second road game this season. Although the Vols are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games on the road, they have only played once away from home so far in a 77-55 win over Louisville. Illinois is a strong team at home, winning their last six assignment in front of their ever-supportive home crowd. However, I still believe Tennessee’s caliber on both ends of the floor will allow them to survive this test. Tennessee ranks No.1 in the nation in field goal percentage (52.1) and No.4 in opponents field goals (35.9). Our betting prediction for Tennessee Volunteers vs. Illinois Fighting Illini: Tennessee will win.
