CHALK TALK It seems like this a game Texas Southern should win easily, but Cal Poly holds the advantage in turnover margin. Cal Poly must create turnovers and turn them into points to have a chance to advance.

CHALK TALK Although Tennessee has outrebounded opponents by a significant margin this season, the Volunteers have not had to deal with anyone like Iowa center Adam Woodbury. If Tennessee can be physical in the lane, get rebounds and score more second-chance points, it should have an excellent chance for a victory.
