Which club will come away with the win in this one?<\/p>\n<p>Read on below for a comprehensive breakdown of this battle.

Starring in that Big 12-SEC clash was none other than Danuel House, who finished with a game-high 20 points on 7-of-13 shooting and also delivered this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uridCHUHVp8\" target=\"_blank\">ferocious dunk<\/a> that brought the house down.<\/p>\n<p>With the win, the eighth-ranked Aggies have improved to 18-3 overall along with a conference-best 7-1 record. Up next for them is an intriguing encounter with the Vanderbilt Commodores, who currently hold the seventh spot in the SEC.\u00a0 Texas A&amp;M is 6-4 SU and 6-3-1 ATS in its last 10 road games.<\/p>\n<p>As always, look to the pair of House and Jalen Jones to lead the Aggies&#8217; charge on offense. The two are presently the team\u2019s top point-getters this season with 16.8 PPG and 16.0 PPG respectively. House, in particular, walks into this matchup fresh off back-to-back 20-point outputs against Iowa State and Arkansas.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, it\u2019ll be worth keeping an eye on the Aggies\u2019 first-year center Tyler Davis. Davis, who is averaging 11.5 PPG and 5.9 RPG, has been imposing his will lately, putting up a total of 47 points and 19 rebounds in his past three outings. But he might be forced to primarily focus on defense later as he\u2019ll be matching up against Vanderbilt\u2019s own low-post threat in Damian Jones.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Join Top Bet sportsbsook\" href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/9\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a>\u00a0and cash in on all the NCAAB action.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on the Vanderbilt Commodores (12-9, 4-4 SEC)<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Damian-Jones.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-93689\" title=\"Texas-A&amp;M-vs-Vanderbilt-Basketball-Predictions-Picks-and-Preview\" alt=\"Texas A&amp;M vs Vanderbilt Basketball Predictions, Picks and Preview\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Damian-Jones.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"472\" srcset=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Damian-Jones.jpg 600w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Damian-Jones-250x196.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Damian Jones, he\u2019s been a handful for opposing teams as of late. The 7-foot, 245-pound center is posting 19.7 points and 10.0 rebounds in his previous three contests. That stretch includes their game versus Texas on Saturday, wherein Jones finished with a season-high 26 points along with nine boards under his name.<\/p>\n<p>The Vanderbilt Commodores\u2019 next assignment won\u2019t be an easy the one, though. They\u2019ll be playing host to the No. 8 Texas A&amp;M Aggies, who are one of the best defensive teams in the country today. The Aggies are allowing just an average of 64.1 points to opponents this season.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the Commodores, who are 8-2 SU and 5-4 ATS in their previous 10 home games, will need somebody else besides Jones to help rack up the points. Expect the duo of Wade Baldwin IV and Matthew Fisher-Davis to be the ones to do so later.<\/p>\n<p>Baldwin IV currently leads Vanderbilt in scoring with 14.3 points per contest, but he might not be at full strength after suffering an injury during the first half against the Longhorns. Fisher-Davis, meanwhile, might really have to step it up again if Baldwin IV struggles. The second-year guard contributed 19 points along and nailed five three-pointers vs. Texas.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>The Aggies (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/college-basketball\/ncaa-mens\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>+1<\/strong><\/a>) win, 83-79.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Join Top Bet sportsbsook\" href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/6\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a>\u00a0and build a winning college basketball parlay.<\/p>\n[sc:NCAAB490Banner ]\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"93567\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;2,721&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two SEC rivals go mano-a-mano at the Memorial Gymnasium this Thursday night, as the eighth-ranked Texas A&amp;M Aggies take on the Vanderbilt Commodores for the first time this season.
