BetUS NCAA basketball betting odds: TENNESSEE -3, Total 159.5

The Vanderbilt Commodores (23-4 SU, 13-13 ATS) in Southeastern Conference action that is scheduled to start at 9 PM ET at the Memorial Gymnasium in Nashville.

In the BetUS NCAA college basketball betting odds, Tennessee is listed as a three-point favorite, with a total of 159.5 points.

Here are some of the NCAA basketball betting trends as they relate to this matchup:

* TENN has covered seven of its last nine games

* TENN has covered six of its last nine road games

* TENN has played seven of its last eight road games UNDER the total

* VANDY has covered four of its last five games

* VANDY has won its last six games SU

* VANDY has played nine of its last 12 games UNDER the total

* TENN has won four of the last five meetings

* TENN has covered five of the last six meetings

* Five of the last six meetings have gone UNDER the total

* The home team has covered four of the last five meetings

* TENN has covered six of the last seven meetings as the road team

* TENN has had the shooting edge in three of the last four meetings

* TENN has had the rebounding edge in three of the last four meetings

This is going to be a HUGE task for Tennessee. Coming back just a few days after its road win over Memphis, which got a lot of well-deserved hype and had probably been on the Vols' minds for weeks, they have to come right back and face a Vanderbilt team that is good enough to be rated #14 in the USA Today poll and #10 in the RPI, which is a major determinant of seeding in the NCAA tourney. And more importantly, for our purposes, this is a team that is seething with a revenge motive, as the 'Dores were shellacked by Tennessee to the tune of 80-60 in the last meetings, which was held in Knoxville on January 17.

That was in the midst of a bad run for Vandy, as it was losing four out of five games. But fortunes have been reversed, as the Commodores have won six games in a row, getting revenge over the likes of Florida and Kentucky. Shan Foster is too good a shooter to be held to 1-for-11 from beyond the arc again. And let's keep in mind that Vanderbilt is the better free throw shooting team (73%-64.5%) in this game.

The 'Dores are getting points at home, where they have actually won 30 of their last 31 games. They may or may not catch Vandy at the +110 price offered in the BetUS money line as well.
