East Tennessee has looked shaky in its two tournament wins, resulting in a tiny spread for the SoCon championship game. Still, the Buccaneers swept the regular season series, albeit with one W in overtime. They have a plus-eight points differential in league games, superior to Furman's plus-four. The Paladins' proclivity to committ turnovers (most in SoCon league matchups) and miss free throws (second most) could come back to bite them here.
