The Vanderbilt Commodores take on the Grambling State Tigers for what should be one of the more lopsided NCAA basketball games today.
While Vanderbilt hasn’t necessarily played too well this season, coming into this one at just 5-4, they should be able to take care of business against a Grambling State team that rightfully doesn’t deserve to be on the same court as them.
Grambling State will be coming into this one playing above-average basketball in the season at 5-3, but will that be enough to stop the Commodores?
Let’s break it down with our Grambling vs Vanderbilt prediction and find the edge in this game.
Last Game Records
Grambling State is going to be coming into this one after a 72-39 win against Incarnate Word.
It was an impressive win for them as they wanted to get back on track and continue to climb in the college basketball standings.
While they likely don’t have a chance of winning this game according to the Grambling Tigers odds, there’s a chance they can.
Vanderbilt looked great in their last game against Pittsburgh, as they were able to come over with a 75-74 win.
Beating a team like Pittsburgh on the Vanderbilt Commodores schedule is huge for this team as they want to continue building momentum going into SEC play.
Grambling Tigers vs. Vanderbilt Commodores Betting Analysis
Vanderbilt
Vanderbilt is heading into this one playing some interesting basketball to start the season. They have some disappointing losses against:
- Memphis
- Southern Mississippi
- St Mary’s
And a few other games where they didn’t necessarily look great.
However, their wins against Temple, Fresno State, VCU, Wofford, and Pittsburgh should be talked about more.
Vanderbilt has continuously gotten better year in and year out, and that’s all that we can ask for with some NCAA basketball teams.
There are still things that they’re going to have to work on, but there’s one guy that we’re going to be looking for here, and it’s going to be Liam Robbins.
Robbins’ Impressive Basketball
Liam Robbins comes into this one playing some impressive basketball on the season as the former Minnesota Center will be coming in averaging 12.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and shooting 58.1% from the field.
There are certain games where he can be a bit more dominant, but he scored at least 14 points in each of his last four games and is starting to really play well for Vanderbilt. On top of that, he’s also coming off two nine-rebound performances.
Grambling State
Grambling State is going to be coming into this one playing some sneaky basketball on the year, and that’s important for us to know with our Grambling vs Vanderbilt prediction.
Although their college basketball players might not be as good as Vanderbilt just because of the conference that they’re in, they have a clean college basketball injury report and are going to do everything they possibly can to win this game.
They’re coming off a great win against Incarnate Word on their NCAAB schedule, where Shawndarius Cowart led the way with an impressive 18 points.
Grambling State’s Guard Out
The guard out of Pensacola, Florida, is averaging more than 10 points per game and is shooting nearly 45% from the field.
If Grambling State is going to have a chance of winning this game, it’s all going to start with some of those guys. They have to get going, and they need to get going early if they want a chance to beat the Vanderbilt Commodores.
Updates
At the moment, the college basketball injury report is clean for both sides. This is important for us to know as we want to make sure that we have the best possible analysis in this game.

Grambling Tigers vs. Vanderbilt Commodores Betting Prediction
We are finally here with our Grambling vs Vanderbilt prediction, and the bet that I’m going to be looking for in this game is going to be taking Grambling State +13.5.
Although I have been impressed with what Vanderbilt has been able to do, I think Vanderbilt giving 13.5 points to anybody in the country is just a bit too much. Because of that, I’m going to play the other way here and take Grambling State.
NCAAB Pick: Grambling State +14 (-110)
