The Beavers were 8.5-point underdogs in their last two games, and they won outright over Oregon and Colorado to take the Pac-12 Tournament. In fact, they've won outright as underdogs of at least five points five times in the past six games. Tennessee is an elite defensive team, but Oregon State has a balanced attack. The Vols also are likely to be without senior forward John Fulkerson. Grab the points.
No. 12 Oregon State vs. No. 5 Tennessee from Midwest Region. While I give the surprise Pac-12 Tournament champion Beavers little shot of winning this game outright, I think they can keep it fairly close because the Vols are expected to be without senior forward John Fulkerson (9.5 ppg, 52.7 percent shooting, 5.5 rpg) due to facial injuries suffered in the SEC Tournament on a total cheap shot from a Florida player. Fulkerson is not UT's best player by any means but is an important glue/hustle guy and leader. Oregon State is 13-3 ATS in its past 16 as a dog.
