Vandy is coming into this game as a 7.5 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Vanderbilt played a lot better in their first game scoring more points than Texas State could reach in their first game. Vanderbilt has more depth on their side and will get offensive contributions from a bunch of different players on their side. The transfer of Scotty Pippen Jr. was also massive for them so this is a program that is looking to succeed in a big way. The best bet to place in this game is on Vanderbilt to cover the spread here as they are the much better team.

“I would expect the turnovers to be cut down once Mason gets back. Having Mason, I would hope that we can cut that turnover margin down, by about at least eight or nine.” - Terrence Johnson on the impact of having Mason Harrell in the game.

 

 

“We were feeling really great about where we were, have a real veteran team, and we still feel good. But now it forces Tyrin Lawrence, who is working his way back (from a torn ACL), and he needs to get up to speed a little bit sooner than he would have to otherwise if Rodney was in there. But I think ultimately, it’s gonna be good for us. It's gonna give Shane Dezonie and Peyton Daniels probably a few more reps than they would get otherwise. But I think in the long run, it’s gonna be really good for us.” - Jerry Stackhouse on Rodney Chatman missing a few weeks due to injury.
