Vanderbilt really has to rely on their D to win this game, as they only rank 323rd in the nation in scoring. Their defense will be tested in this game by an Arkansas offense that ranks 39th in the nation in scoring.

Arkansas is led by G BJ Young (15.1 ppg) and FW Marshawn Powell (14.5 ppg), who also leads the team in rebounding. Even though the Razorbacks won their last game each of these guys struggled. Still, Arkansas has a pretty deep team with other guys stepping up in the game. Still, Vandy will be in good shape if they can stop these guys, as no other Arkansas player is averaging over 8 ppg.

The Commodores are led by G Kedren Johnson (13.6 ppg) and FW Rod Odom (10.2 ppg) and these guys are THE guys the Razorbacks have to worry about, as Vandy is not a deep team.

Arkansas is not a great rebounding team, but even though that is the case Vandy must hit the boards, which is not their strength only ranking 247th in the nation in rebounds per game.

In some betting trends for this SEC tournament match up Vanderbilt is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600, and they have an Over record of 8-2 in their last 10 vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.

Arkansas is 3-9 ATS in their last 12 neutral site games and they have an Under record of 5-2 in their last 7 games.

Jason’s Pick: Have to go with Arkansas in this game, as they are a better team and have more scoring options. Take the Razorbacks to win and cover in this game.
