Oklahoma vs Vanderbilt College Basketball Betting Preview
Oklahoma Basketball
Oklahoma is off to a brutal start in SEC play.
The Sooners opened with a win against Mississippi State, and then dropped the next nine league games.
The Sooners’ talent is superior to that of a one-win team in conference play, but they haven’t been able to put it together.
On the offensive end, Oklahoma has the pieces to be a strong unit. It ranks 50th nationally in offensive efficiency, per KenPom, thanks to strong guard play.
Nijel Pack is the X-factor for the Sooners. He scored six points in Oklahoma’s 16-point loss to Kentucky, but he scored 20-plus points in the three prior games when the Sooners played decently. Pack is an elite shooter, knocking down 42% of his 3-point attempts.
Xzayvier Brown is the other pillar of that strong guard play. He leads the team with 16.4 points and 3.2 assists per game.
Shooting will be the key for Oklahoma in multiple ways. The Sooners attempt 3s on 45% of their shots and convert 34% of them. Plus, they grab offensive boards on 33% of misses, which will come into play here.
The trio of Mo Wague, Derrion Reid and Tae Davis does a lot of damage on the glass. Each averages at least 4.5 rebounds per game, and all three stand 6-foot-8 or taller.
On the defensive end, Oklahoma has been pretty brutal, ranking 140th nationally in defensive efficiency.
It sits 149th in 2-point field-goal defense and 202nd in 3-point field-goal defense. The defensive cohesion is missing for this Oklahoma team, and it’s holding it back.
Vanderbilt Basketball
Vanderbilt is largely just treading water right now.
Injuries have really piled up in the Commodores’ backcourt, with Frankie Collins and Duke Miles both missing time. Collins last suited up in December, and Miles had a procedure to address knee issues, but he should be back soon.
With Miles out, the Commodores are playing a bigger lineup. The starting five features Jalen Washington, Devin McGlockton and AK Okereke.
While that group provides more rebounding, it offers very little in the way of shooting. Washington and McGlockton both shoot below 30% from deep, while Okereke is a low-volume shooter who can only knock them down if left open.
That hasn’t really changed Vanderbilt’s formula, though.
The Commodores still attempted 32 3-pointers in a narrow win over Ole Miss in their last game. Mike James came off the bench and took eight of those 32 shots from beyond the arc, as he’s earned a larger role with Miles sidelined.
Tyler Tanner and Tyler Nickel are even more important right now.
Tanner leads the team with 17.8 points and 5.1 assists per game, while shooting 49% from the field. His ability to get into the lane opens up the offense by freeing shooters and by finishing efficiently at the rim.
Overall, Vanderbilt remains solid on both ends, ranking 14th nationally in offensive efficiency and 17th in defensive efficiency.
One issue for the Commodores has been defending inside, as opponents are shooting 49% on 2-point attempts against them.
Oklahoma vs. Vanderbilt Betting Analysis
I'll take the points with the Sooners here.
This line feels a bit bloated for a Vanderbilt team that’s far from fully healthy. We just saw this same Vandy squad struggle to put away Ole Miss, a team with less overall talent.
If Pack and Brown show up and play to their capabilities, Oklahoma should be able to keep this game within arm’s reach.
My Pick: Oklahoma +11 or Better
