What to Know

The Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils will take on the Vanderbilt Commodores at 8 p.m. ET Monday at Memorial Gym. Mississippi Valley State will be seeking to avenge the 84-41 loss they suffered the last time these two teams played Dec. 13 of last year.

The Delta Devils received a tough blow this past Friday as they fell 73-58 to the Ole Miss Rebels. A silver lining for Mississippi Valley State was the play of Robert Carpenter, who shot 5-for-7 from beyond the arc and finished with 27 points and seven rebounds.

The Delta Devils have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 37 point spread they are up against. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread, however, as they are currently on a two-game streak of ATS wins.
