College Basketball Defense!

Coming into this season, the Tennessee Volunteers were loaded, with four starters back to a team that led Ohio State by 20 in March before folding in the wake of a Sweet 16 appearance. Coach Bruce Pearl likes an uptempo style and this season they are averaging 86 ppg. A year ago they averaged 81 ppg behind a three-guard lineup. That uptempo attack is why they went 17-9 over the total two years ago and 19-13 over the total last season.

However, that came at a cost: The Vols ranked last in the SEC in scoring defense (75.1 points per game), last in field-goal percentage (.457) and last in rebounding defense. "No doubt," coach Bruce Pearl said before the season, "defense is the area where we can show the greatest improvement and have the most impact." In addition, Tennessee was a poor 3-7 SU/ATS away from home.

Well the Vols have improved in both categories significantly. Defense is such an important, sometimes even overlooked, aspect of winning. During their 16-1 start the Vols allowed 68 points per contest and 42% shooting by opponents, while still retaining their uptempo style averging 86 ppg. This is significant from a handicapping perspective because oddsmakers and the general public focus on offense first. Tennessee's defense has been overlooked undervalued this season, starting 8-5 under the total, after being an over machine the last two years. That improved defense is why the Vols are suddenly a good road team, winning their first 5 road games while also starting 3-0 SU/ATS as a dog.

I love playing Blackjack online, but nothing compares to playing at a real casino when the atmosphere is just right. It's a feeling that's hard to capture at home-although you can do things to get close. When you play solo online, it's all you. There are no other players taking cards. This can be a great joy or major source of pain offline. Heck, when you pla. . .
