What you need to know about Alabama

Alabama has been as inconsistent as any team in college basketball. The Crimson Tide have knocked off three of the four teams from last season's Final Four, but they have also lost games to Iona, Missouri and Georgia. They closed the regular season with consecutive losses to Texas A&M and LSU. 

The Crimson Tide will come into this game with some confidence after winning the SEC Tournament last season, though. Junior guard Jaden Shackelford leads Alabama with 16.6 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, while Jahvon Quinerly and Keon Ellis are both scoring in double figures as well. 

What you need to know about Vanderbilt

Vanderbilt has been competitive in most of its games this season, but it is still going to fall short of an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. The Commodores lost three of their final four games down the stretch, with one of those losses coming against Alabama in a 74-72 final. They were able to snap that skid with a 63-61 win over Ole Miss last Saturday. 

The Commodores opened their SEC Tournament slate with an 86-51 blowout win over Georgia on Wednesday night. They are led by the SEC's leading scorer, as Scotty Pippen Jr. is averaging 20.3 points per game. Vanderbilt has covered the spread at a 9-1-1 clip in its last 11 games.
