Caleb Grill led the team with 22 points, and the Tigers showcased impressive offensive efficiency, shooting over 60% from the field and nearly 60% from three-point range.
Under the guidance of Coach Dennis Gates, Missouri has been effective in scoring and maintaining a strong inside game, with standout performances from players like Mark Mitchell.
Vanderbilt Commodores: Vanderbilt secured a narrow 86-84 victory over No. 12 Texas A&M in their recent outing, marking their 10th win in the last 12 games. The Commodores have been propelled by consistent performances from North Texas transfer Jason Edwards. Their aggressive playing style has resulted in numerous free throw opportunities, contributing to their recent success.
Missouri vs. Vanderbilt CBB Prediction:
Both teams enter this matchup with significant momentum. Missouri’s efficient offense and Vanderbilt’s aggressive style suggest a high-scoring affair. Given Missouri’s recent form and offensive capabilities, I do expect the Tigers to cover the spread.
That said, I like the over most. In the Tigers’ last 10 games overall, the over is 7-3. That includes a four-game over streak in Mizzou games entering play today. On the other side, the over cashed in six of the Commodores’ last 10 games overall.
