Kansas State hasn't had the toughest slate to open the season with their only high level matchup coming in their one defeat against Arizona State. K-State lost some key pieces from last year's tournament teams, but the Wildcats still have enough talent to be a factor in the Big 12 and perhaps make another run at the Big Dance this season.

The Vanderbilt Commodores might stand just 3-4 overall, but this group has been testing themselves in the nonconference with defeats coming against solid opposition in Seton Hall, Virginia, USC, and on the road against Belmont. Vandy hasn't been picking up resume wins, but they'll get their chance today behind their home court advantage.

Vanderbilt is better than their overall record would indicate and we believe the only reason the Commodores aren't favored by more at home today is because of the records both of these squads currently have and not purely based on the talent of each roster. We like Vandy behind their unique home court edge as they go on to get the Sunday win.
