What to Know

The Vanderbilt Commodores have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the Auburn Tigers and are hoping to record their first win since Jan. 4 of 2017. Vanderbilt and Auburn will face off in an SEC battle at 8:30 p.m. ET Saturday at Memorial Gym. Both teams come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous games.

While not quite a landslide, the game between the Commodores and the South Carolina Gamecocks on Tuesday was still a pretty decisive one as Vanderbilt wrapped it up with a 75-64 victory on the road. Vanderbilt's forward Liam Robbins did his thing and had 24 points in addition to eight boards.

Meanwhile, Auburn was fully in charge on Tuesday, breezing past the Missouri Tigers 89-56 at home. Auburn can attribute much of their success to forward Johni Broome, who posted a double-double on 20 points and ten rebounds, and guard Allen Flanigan, who had 16 points.

A pair of stats to keep an eye on: Vanderbilt has only been able to knock down 41.90% percent of their shots, which is the 37th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball.
