Tennesee State Thread

Nolan Smith on CBSSN right now. You can tell he is new to being a head coach in a high profile situation
 
Fast pace

Will turn the ball over

Don’t shoot 2’s or 3’s particularly well

This team doesn’t hold qualities of an upset alert.

We can name the score.

The line has already moved to -24.5

Vegas says 86.5 to 62

Not sure they get to 60……
Yeah, they're 187 on Kenpom. This is exactly the kind of opponent you want in the first round.
 
We had a common opponent with them…..Eastern Illinois. They lost to them by 4, then beat them by 9. We beat them by 25, but that was our annual post-CyHawk letdown game, so we certainly were not locked in.

Reactions: aauummm and NENick
As an aside, I have no idea how out of conference strength of schedule is calculated, as the only high major TSU played was Tennessee vs. our schedule of St. Johns, Creighton, Syracuse, Iowa, @ Purdue and they are ranked 74th and we are ranked 138th.
We played some godawful teams.
