SEC Tournament - Texas vs. Vanderbilt Prediction: Odds, Expert Picks, Betting Trends, and Stats
The second game of the day in the SEC Tournament features the Texas Longhorns (17-14, 6-12) and the Vanderbilt Commodores (20-11, 8-10).
Some have Texas on the fringe of the NCAA Tournament conversation. Frankly, that is difficult to believe especially considering how the Longhorns closed the season. Texas lost two of their last three including the season finale at home to Oklahoma, 76-72. Texas needs to make a deep run in the SEC Tournament in order for those conversations to include NCAA Tournament committee members.
Vanderbilt appears to be in the Field of 68. They, however, are not entering today's game playing their best having lost their last two to SEC also-rans Georgia and Arkansas. Thus, it would behoove them to take care of business today against Texas and remove doubt from the committee as to their intentions with the Commodores.
