Big Orange Michael offers his thoughts on why UT will beat Memphis Saturday night:

A lot of experts have made predications and breakdowns of the game. Here are a few thoughts on why I believe Tennessee can win this game tomorrow night.

-Looking at the trend of the last four times that in-state rivals have faced off with a one vs two match-up, the number two team has won all four times. One small factor: the games were all on the number two’s home court. This one is at Tiger High, not in the mighty Thompson-Boling Arena

-Tennessee has a better field-goal made percentage than Tiger High. It’s not great, mind you. But in a game like this one, it could be factor.

-Tiger High has all the pressure on them to remain unbeaten. ESPN ran a story on it Monday and it’s only got more extreme as the week has gone on. The Vols can play looser because they don’t have the pressure of perfection in a big game. Just look at what that pressure did to the Patriots a few weeks ago.
