It’s the classic 5-seed versus 12-seed matchup that provides so many upsets as the Vanderbilt Commodores take on the McNeese Cowboys on Thursday afternoon. ESPN Analytics has predicted the matchup and is heavily favoring one team to stay dancing.
After falling in the championship of the SEC Tournament to the Razorbacks, the Commodores are back in action to take on the McNeese Cowboys. McNeese is currently on a 10-game winning streak and has not lost since Feb. 2, when it went on the road and took on Stephen F. Austin.
The Cowboys finished the regular season with a 28-5 overall record and a 19-3 record in their conference.
Vanderbilt finished the season winning 5 of its last 7 games. The Commodores capped off an incredible year with a 26-8 overall record and an 11-7 record in the SEC.
ESPN Analytics is giving the Commodores an 81.2% chance of coming out victorious versus McNeese when they face off on Thursday afternoon. That means the red-hot Cowboys are only getting an 18.8% chance of winning.
However, it is March, and we all know that this month and this tournament are made for madness. Tipoff for this game between the Commodores and the Cowboys is set for 3:15 p.m. EST.
