LSU @ Vanderbilt

Current Records: LSU 16-5; Vanderbilt 11-10

What to Know

The #25 LSU Tigers and the Vanderbilt Commodores are set to square off in an SEC matchup at 6 p.m. ET Feb. 5 at Memorial Gym. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

It was close but no cigar for the Tigers as they fell 76-72 to the Ole Miss Rebels on Tuesday. LSU's defeat came about despite a quality game from forward Darius Days, who shot 5-for-9 from beyond the arc and finished with a double-double on 21 points and 13 rebounds.

Meanwhile, Vanderbilt came up short against the Kentucky Wildcats on Wednesday, falling 77-70. The losing side was boosted by guard Scotty Pippen Jr., who had 33 points and five assists in addition to six boards.

LSU is the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past four games, so buyers beware.

LSU is now 16-5 while Vanderbilt sits at 11-10. Two stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: LSU have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 37.10%, which places them third in college basketball. Less enviably, the Commodores have only been able to knock down 41.50% percent of their shots, which is the 49th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. So the cards are definitely stacked against Vanderbilt.
