Oklahoma vs Vanderbilt Prediction 

Vanderbilt comes into this matchup with just a 4-3 conference record, but they are ranked #24 in the country. The Commodores have recent wins over Kentucky and Tennessee, but they have lost two road games in a row against Alabama and Missouri. Vanderbilt is scoring nearly 82 points per game, but they did allow 103 to Alabama in their last road game. Oklahoma started conference play with four straight losses, but they have won two of their last three. The Sooners are shooting 48.3% from the field and they have allowed 62 points in two of their last three games. I think Vanderbilt is great on their home floor, but I don’t trust them on the road. Take Oklahoma here.
