Opening odds: Tennessee a big favorite over 15-seed Wofford

Let the madness begin.

Tennessee came up just short of a No. 1 seed on Sunday, dropping a foul-fest to the Florida Gators in the SEC Tournament title game. The result was a No. 2 seed in the Midwest Region, paired up with No. 1 seed Houston. The Volunteers will open with 15-seed Wofford. No. 7 UCLA or No. 10 Utah State awaits the winner.

Wofford went 19-15 on the year, winning the SoCon after finishing 6th in the regular season. They dropped three of their last five before catching fire and winning the SoCon Tournament. They’ll now face Tennessee, KenPom’s fifth-best team and top No.
