Tonight's Vanderbilt vs Texas A&M predictions expect big things from Aggies star Wade Taylor IV
Texas A&M guard Wade Taylor IV shines against Vanderbilt in tonight's college basketball picks, as he tends to soar when the Aggies need his spark most. In any other conference, a two-game skid isn’t reason enough to push the panic button.
But the SEC isn’t just any other conference. The Texas A&M Aggies have dropped their last two contests, sending them spiraling down the standings of college basketball’s most competitive league. The Aggies are back home and trying to stop the bleeding against the Vanderbilt Commodores. Senior guard Wade Taylor IV has stepped up in the Aggies' biggest games and my Vanderbilt vs. Texas A&M predictions expect him to do so again tonight. That’s where you’ll find my bestWhat was most impressive was how Taylor overcame a bad shooting day — 0-for-9 from 3-point range — to find different ways to contribute on offense, namely hitting 10 of 12 free throws.are the bottom-ranked defense in the SEC and have surrendered 79 points per road game this season. That metric has spiked in recent road showings, with Vandy allowing scores of 81, 82, 86, 97, and 103 in its last five SEC away games. Granted, those beatings came from some of the top offensive attacks in the land — something Texas A&M is not. The Aggies aren’t a great shooting side and generate a lot of buckets from a swarming defense, leading to points off turnovers and easy looks at the bucket. Those opportunities will be there against Vandy, which gives up the third-most points off turnovers in the SEC. In their last outing, the Commodores avoided a loss to Mississippi despite 13 turnovers turning into 21 Rebel points. Vanderbilt also sits bottom of the conference in protecting the arc, watching foes connect on better than 40% of long-range looks. That perimeter patrol has been pretty loose in recent outings, allowing an average of almost 10 triples over their last three. Outside of Taylor, the Aggies aren’t a threat from distance. He won’t hesitate to let it fly from deep, averaging almost eight 3-point attempts per outing. Before Saturday’s embarrassing 0-fer effort against Tennessee, Taylor has recorded three or more triples in five of his previous seven games. In his last three matchups with the Commodores, the 6-foot senior has scored 14, 18, and 25 points. His player projections for Wednesday range from 13 points to a high of 23, with the bulk of those forecasts coming in above his current point prop of 16.5 O/U. My number for Taylor sits just north of 18 points, which gives us plenty of punch to get past his scoring total tonight.Taylor’s player projections call for another big night from the Aggies’ senior leader, with some at 20-plus points.Game models call for a solid showing from Texas A&M, with most at 77 points. Vanderbilt has been horrible defensively as a visitor. Projections call for a Texas A&M victory.
