Joe D's NCAAB SEC CRUSHER of the Year

Tennessee vs. Alabama, 03/15/2013 15:30 EDT, Score: 48 - 58

Point Spread: -1½/-109 Tennessee

Sportsbook: 5Dimes

Result: Loss

Today's winner is Tennessee over Alabama. This is my SEC CRUSHER OF THE YEAR.

Both teams are on the bubble. Tenn, who plays this contest in Nashviolle has won and covered 9 of their L10 with outright wins over notables Vandy, Kentucky, A&M, Florida, and Missouri. The Vols "O" has put up incredible numbers behind McRae, Stokes, and Golden (30.7 PPG combined). But their "D" is getting tougher with each passing game. In two meetings this season, UT has outrebounded UA by a combined 71-29. 'Bama ranks in the bottom third in most offensive categories. They play a good "D" but can not rebound. UT will take this game over on the glass. Take Tennessee. Thank you.
