Nevada vs Vanderbilt Prediction
I’m on Vanderbilt here. This is a coin flip game in my eyes, and in a coin flip, catching a couple of buckets sounds good to me. This is a really solid Vandy team under Bylington so far that’s well-coached as Bylington brought over a lot of the philosophies that made JMU a powerhouse last year. Nevada is decent in their own right and they have a lot of size, but this Nevada team hasn’t traveled well the last couple of years in neutral site games, I think Vandy could steal this one but I’ll take the points to be safe.
