Vanderbilt vs. Tennessee CBB Gambling Free Picks & Preview

NCAA Basketball Betting – Commodores vs Volunteers

This is a game that Tennessee absolutely has to have if they are to have any chance at getting into the field of 68. Even with a win here, they will have a lot of work left in the SEC tournament, but this would give them yet another quality win if they are able to pull it out.

Matchup | Preview

It is not going to be easy though as Vanderbilt is incredibly tough, and coming off of a huge home win against the Florida Gators in which their star player John Jenkins absolutely went off.

This should be a great game between two incredibly hungry teams.

The Commodores were a top 10 team in the preseason polls. While those do not necessarily mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of things, they are usually a good measure of a team’s talent on paper.

They went through a very rocky start without their starting center Festus Ezeli, but since his return they have been an entirely different team.

They have had two bad losses with him in the lineup, but in the 20 games that he has played, all six of their losses were by less than 10 points. Four of the six losses were also against opponents ranked in the top 15, so it was not like they were losing to a lot of bad teams. [soliloquy id=”82219″]

They also have two of the best players in all of the SEC in John Jenkins and Jeffery Taylor. The former is the nation’s best 3-point shooter that averages over 20 points per game. While the latter is the team’s second leading scorer at over 17 a game, their second leading rebounder at six a game, and also the second leading assist man.

Meanwhile, Tennessee is a team that is trying to make up for their horrible non-conference play.

The Volunteers run on a trio of talented players. Sophomore Trae Golden, junior Jeronne Maymon, and freshman Jarnell Stokes, who all l determine whether or not this team will win games.

Golden is the team’s leading scorer and assist man, and also one of the very few outside threats on this team. While Stokes and Maymon do their work on the inside.

This game will be decided by the Volunteers’ perimeter defense. If they allow Jenkins, Taylor, and company to get good looks from behind the arc, they are in for a long game.
