Vanderbilt Commodores vs Western Kentucky Hilltoppers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/26/25

The Vanderbilt Commodores and the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers will play a non-conference game on Wednesday in the Bahamas. This matchup will be game one of the Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament that will crown a champion on Friday. Vanderbilt is a heavy favorite in this one, but my best bet of the game is the over.

Over 167.5 is my best bet because both teams play at a very fast pace and will look to get shots up quickly on offense. According to KenPom, Western Kentucky is ranked #37 in adjusted tempo and #50 in average possession length while Vanderbilt is ranked #92 and #42. The total has gone over in 80 percent of Vanderbilt’s games this season due to their fast pace and efficiency offense.

The Commodores have one of the best offenses in the country, which should help drive this total over the number. Vanderbilt is currently ranked #1 in the country in points per game at 103. They scored 109 in their last game and have scored over 100 points in all but one game this year. According to KenPom, Vanderbilt’s offense is ranked #6 in adjusted efficiency, #5 in effective field goal percentage and #3 in two-point percentage. Their offense is elite and should have no issues putting up points against a Western Kentucky defense that does not guard the paint well. Western Kentucky takes care of the ball very well and should be able to score enough as well to cash the over. Take the over here.
