From the booth
The model favored VAN to win, and the call landed.
Vanderbilt's got this one locked up at 93 percent, and here's why: they're getting a massive 21 and a half point bump from Vegas, the betting market likes them, and their point differential over the last five games has been working in their favor. Delaware's a 7 percent long shot here, and while they've shown some offensive efficiency lately, it's just not enough to overcome what's really a massive talent and talent disparity situation. This is Commodores' house to lose.
