The No. 11 Vanderbilt Commodores (14-0, 1-0 SEC) will do their best to stay undefeated tonight when they host the No. 13 Alabama Crimson Tide ( 11-3, 1-0 SEC) at Memorial Gymnasium in Nashville, TN. Tipoff doer this SEC battle between ranked teams is scheduled for 9 p.m. EST with coverage provided by ESPN.
Vanderbilt is off to a great start at 14-0. However, they have yet to be tested. Most of their games have been blowouts, while just two were decided by single digits. But while this means their stat lines look great, it also means they have yet to face any real competition. Alabama will be the first ranked opponent they’ve faced this season. As for Alabama, the Crimson Tide have faced a tougher schedule to date with games against five ranked teams, including three top-five squads. However, they lost three of those games (vs. No. 1 Arizona, No.2 Purdue, and No. 12 Gonzaga. They recorded wins over No. 5 St. John's and No. 8 Illinois.
Alabama will take a four-game win streak into tonight’s contest; the offense led the way in each scoring 104, 92, 102, and 89 points. In Vanderbilt’s last four, they scored 77, 98, 96, and 83 points.

Our Vanderbilt Commodores vs Alabama Prediction
Alabama and Vanderbilt both have top ten scoring offenses that average 90+ points per game. The Crimson Tide, however, doesn’t bother playing defense much (No. 328, 81.1 ppg allowed); Vanderbilt ranks No. 114 at 70.7 ppg allowed. I want to lean towards picking Vanderbilt, but their soft schedule makes me nervous. However, with Alabama not playing defense and scoring 90+ a game, I think Vanderbilt can score 90+ as well.
Our Alabama vs. Vanderbilt Pick: OVER 178.5
