Missouri vs Vanderbilt Prediction

Vanderbilt has not been having a great season and they have really struggled in their conference games but they have started to play a little better in their recent games. They have won 2 of their last 3 games and they are even coming off of a win against the ranked LSU team in their last game. Both of those wins came at home as well and they were by 8 and 9 points. Missouri is coming off of a win in their last game as well but they had lost 4 straight games prior to that win and they have struggled even more than Vanderbilt has against conference opponents this season. Missouri is also 2-6 on the road this season. Vanderbilt is the better team here with more talent on their side and they should be able to pull off a win at home against a bad Missouri team here. Vanderbilt will keep rolling after taking down LSU in their last game and they will go on to win this one as well by a similar score.

Notable Quotes

 
"We're a totally different team than we were at non-conference. Some painful losses, hard to sleep at night. We've grown from them, but I'm really proud because they kept coming back." - Cuonzo Martin on his team’s win against Texas A&M.
 
 
“He’s a winner. Nothing against our guys, but just over the last two years we hadn’t put a lot of wins in the column ... We’ve lost a lot of close games. Sometimes to get over that hump, you have to have an influx of winners in there, and that’s Rodney.” - Jerry Stackhouse on Rodney Chatman in his team’s win against LSU.
