The Tigers bring in a seven-game winning streak but have seen their last five games decided by four points or fewer. They are coming off another grinder against Florida in which they overcame a double-figure deficit. They are a prime candidate for a flat spot against a Texas team that desperately needs a solid performance following an embarrassing loss at West Virginia and a home loss to Kansas. Coach Shaka Smart's seat is getting warmer, but his teams tend to respond in these spots.
