Vanderbilt Commodores

Sixteen straight wins opened the Commodores’ 2025-26, yet at the prices offered a unit on each priced game came to just 2.69. Their best moneyline week came in March, as underdogs.

Sixteen without a loss

Vanderbilt were unbeaten until 14 January. They covered 10 of the 16 spreads in that run, but the moneyline was posted for only 12 of the games and often at prices like -50000 against Lipscomb and -100000 against Eastern Kentucky, so the 16 wins returned 2.69 units.

From 14 January they went 10-8, covered 8 of 18, and made 0.4.

Short-priced defeats

The home loss to Oklahoma, 92-91 on 7 February at -900, was the costliest. Texas 80-64 at -192 and Missouri 81-80 at -162 followed the same pattern on the road. As favorites over the season the Commodores won 22 of 27, covered 14, and lost 0.61 units on the 23 priced games.

March as underdogs

Then three straight wins with points: at Tennessee 86-82 at +130, against Tennessee again 75-68 at +120 in the SEC quarterfinal, and 91-74 over Florida at +270 in the semifinal. Those three made 5.2 units, and March finished 4-1 and 4.52 up after an 86-75 loss to Arkansas in the final. As underdogs all season Vanderbilt won 4 of 7 for 3.7 units.

The SEC

Tennessee was met three times; Vanderbilt won two and covered two. Arkansas won both meetings, the first 93-68 in January. Florida split, the Gators winning 98-94 at Vanderbilt and losing the semifinal by 17.

The total

Seventeen overs and 17 unders, an even split, while Vanderbilt scored 86.35 a game; 12 teams scored more. The highest total posted on their games was 176.5, against Alabama in January, and it went over in a 96-90 win.

After the SEC final, the NCAA tournament brought a win over McNeese 78-68, then a 74-72 loss to Nebraska.
