Vanderbilt vs. Ole Miss Prediction, Odds for College Basketball on Tuesday, March 3

The Vanderbilt Commodores are just 9-7 in SEC play, but they have enough big wins that they've earned the No. 24 spot in the latest AP Poll.

They still have a chance to improve their seeding in the upcoming SEC Tournament as well as boost their resume for the NCAA Tournament. A win against Ole Miss tonight will benefit them in both areas.

Let's dive into the odds and my best bet for this SEC duel.

Vanderbilt vs. Ole Miss Key Player to Watch

Tyler Tanner, G - Vanderbilt Commodores

Tyler Tanner is leading Vanderbilt in points per game (18.5), assists per game (5.2), and steals per game (2.4). He's the leader of this team, and while the Commodores aren't being looked at as legitimate national championship contenders, they can make some noise this month if Tanner cranks his game up a notch.

Vanderbilt vs. Ole Miss Prediction and Pick

Ole Miss has nothing to offer to compete with Vanderbilt tonight. Ole Miss ranks 224th in effective field goal percentage, 214th in defensive efficiency, and 214th in opponent 3-point field goal percentage, allowing teams to shoot 34.5% from beyond the arc. That's going to cause them trouble against a Vanderbilt team that's 74th in 3-point shot rate.

Vanderbilt might be one of the most underrated shooting teams in the country. The Commodores rank 26th in effective field goal percentage, and their percentage drops just 0.6% when playing on the road, which is rare in college basketball.

Let's not be afraid to lay the points on Ole Miss tonight.

Pick: Vanderbilt -6.5 (-110)
