Current Records: Vanderbilt 13-10; Tennessee 17-6

What to Know

The Vanderbilt Commodores have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. Vanderbilt and the #19 Tennessee Volunteers will face off in an SEC battle at 6 p.m. ET Saturday at Thompson-Boling Arena. The Commodores have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with Tennessee and are hoping to record their first win since Feb. 22 of 2017.

Vanderbilt netted a 70-62 victory over the Missouri Tigers on Tuesday. Vanderbilt got double-digit scores from five players: guard Scotty Pippen Jr. (19), guard Jordan Wright (11), forward Myles Stute (11), forward Quentin Millora-Brown (10), and guard Rodney Chatman (10).

Meanwhile, the Mississippi State Bulldogs typically have all the answers at home, but on Wednesday Tennessee proved too difficult a challenge. The Volunteers were able to grind out a solid victory over the Bulldogs, winning 72-63. Tennessee can attribute much of their success to guard Kennedy Chandler, who had 18 points in addition to five steals and five rebounds.

The Commodores are the clear underdogs, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread, however, as they are currently on a three-game streak of ATS wins.

Their wins bumped Vanderbilt to 13-10 and Tennessee to 17-6. We'll see which team can carry over their success and which team inevitably falls when Vanderbilt and the Volunteers clash.
