Before making any Vanderbilt vs. Kentucky picks, you NEED to check out the college basketball predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every Division I college basketball game 10,000 times. Over the past five-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated an impressive profit of over $2,400 for $100 players on its top-rated college basketball picks against the spread. Anyone who has followed it has seen HUGE returns.
The model knows the Wildcats are led by one of the best players in the nation in junior forward Oscar Tshiebwe. He leads Kentucky with a team-best 16.3 scoring average, and is tops in the country in rebounds at 15.1 per game. Tshiebwe grabbed a Rupp Arena record 28 rebounds against Western Kentucky in December. He has already registered 15 double-doubles, and is on the Lute Olson and John Wooden Award watch lists for National Player of the Year.
The model also knows the Commodores spread the wealth on offense with seven players averaging 5.5 points per game or better. Junior guard Scotty Pippen Jr. is the SEC's second-leading scorer at 18.6 points per game, and his 32 points against Kentucky in the first meeting are the most by an SEC player this season. Pippen scored his 1,000th career point against Austin Peay on Dec. 18, becoming just the 50th Commodore to reach that mark. Last season he set the sophomore school record, averaging 20.8 points. He is coming off back-to-back 20-point efforts, including a 23-point performance against Georgia on Saturday.
