The SEC Tournament gets underway today in Nashville. One of the first-round matchups pits the Vanderbilt Commodores with the disappointing Arkansas Razorbacks. These two squads are pitted against each other in the 12 versus 13 game, with the winner advancing to play fifth-seeded South Carolina tomorrow afternoon. The SportsGrid model has a 5-star projection on the over in this contest. Arkansas has scored at least 82 points in each of their last five contests and averages 77.7 points per game. Their issue has been on the defensive end, as they allow just below 80 points per game. That includes giving up 92 and 111 in two of their past three games. 

The total is listed at 148.5, and the SportsGrid model has this game finishing with more than 150 points. 

SportsGrid’s Best Bets: OVER 148.5 | SportsGrid Projections: 5-stars

Spread: Montana (-4.5) | Moneyline: Montana (-205) | Total: 147.5
