| Vanderbilt Commodores | -185 |

The Volunteers are 19-7 overall and 9-4 in SEC play. Tennessee has had an up-and-down year with its standards, but is still in good shape for both the SEC and NCAA tournaments. Tennessee is slated as a 5 seed for March Madness.
The Volunteers have an old-school style. They like playing with multiple bigs on the court and dominating the paint with size and length. Look out for freshman Nate Ament to have a big game. He currently averages 18.2 points and 6.4 rebounds a game.
Vanderbilt is 21-5 overall, 8-5 in SEC play, and currently ranked 10th in the AP poll. They have been one of the surprises of the year, currently slated around a high 3 or low 4 seed. For More March Madness Betting Odds and Predictions, see the Full Hub".
Vanderbilt is an exciting team to watch. They get up and down quickly and love the three-ball. Vandy has been tested recently, despite its high ranking. They lost two of their last five games, with both being separated by one position. Are they in for another nail-biter?
Tennessee vs Vanderbilt will be an intense match. Both teams will want bragging rights as the best team in Tennessee, not to mention the seeding implications of the game. We believe that Vanderbilt's pace will catch Tennessee off guard. If the game turns into a track meet, expect a Vandy win. Our pick is Vanderbilt moneyline (-185).
