Vanderbilt -2.5 - Tennesse has been a pretty good home team this year and Vandy has been struggling on the road, but if you look at who Vanderbilts losses have come to on the road its against impressive teams in Kansas (Neutral court), Baylor, Purdue, Arkansas and South Carolina all away. If you look closer at these games though Vanderbilt has had the lead in three of these games at half time, tied at half in another, and blew a large late lead at South Carolina last time away from home. I think everything matches up tonight for Vandy to finally get a true road win as they are better all around offensively and defensively than this Tennessee team. Vandy sits inside the top 75 in all three offensive shooting stats and at 43rd in ppg allowed, 10th in defensive fg% and 4th defending the 3. Tennessee is 278th in ppg allowed, 141st in fg% allowed and 191st in defending the three. They are also not the greatest shooting team percentage wise and thats where Vandy is best on defense. Vandy has a large size advantage and has been there time after time against high caliber teams only to fall apart late. I think tonight is the night they finally get a road win as a small favorite and build some confidence. Also, as a side not Armani Moore for Tennessee is questionable and he averages 12.4 ppg, 7.9 rpg and 3.9 apg. That could be a blow for the Vols if he misses this game since he can play all five positions for them and does sometimes, and even with him in not sure if he will be full 100%.
Good luck guys!
