NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

03/11/2010 - Nashville, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Wayne Chism had 17 points and 10 rebounds as 15th-ranked Tennessee downed LSU, 59-49, in the first round of the SEC Tournament.

Bobby Maze had 14 points and J.P. Prince added 11 points for the Volunteers (24-7), who will play Ole Miss in the quarterfinals on Friday.

Storm Warren had 18 points and six rebounds and Tasmin Mitchell added 10 points and seven boards for the Tigers (11-20), who dropped three of their last four games of a season that saw a 12-game losing streak.

With the score tied at 30 early in the second half, the Vols got eight straight points as Melvin Goins' jumper capped the run for a 38-30 lead with a bit over 11 minutes to play.

A few minutes later, a Chism three-ball followed by a Prince slam gave Tennessee a 46-34 lead with 6 1/2 minutes to play.

Back-to-back Mitchell three-pointers, that were sandwiched by a pair from the line by Maze, got LSU back to within five points, 54-49, with just over a minute to play.

Tennessee, though, turned to Maze, who hit a steady stream of free throws over the final minute to seal the win.

It was a poor shooting display at both ends of the court in the first half as LSU hit just 35.7 percent of its shots while Tennessee was a miserable 25.9 percent from the floor.

The largest lead of the first half was seven by LSU when Eddie Ludwig put in a layup with about five minutes to go to up, 17-10.

A bit later, Brian Williams turned a three-point play when he was fouled draining a jumper and Chism hit 1-of-2 from the line in the closing moments of the half to make it 21-all at the break.

Game Notes

Tennessee owns a 58-42 advantage in the all-time series...Ludwig finished with eight points and six boards in the loss...Tennessee finished the game shooting 37.3 percent while LSU made 36.4 percent of its shots.
