Tennessee Tech is 3-1 SU at home, has the offensive horses to expose a leaky defense, and has minor upsets over teams like West Georgia and USC Upstate. Tennessee Tech has topped 80 points in 4 straight games, so if Southeast Missouri State doesn’t tighten up, it could lose this game outright. Give me the free bucket with Tennessee Tech.
