The Vanderbilt Commodores (17-6, 5-5) have their third top five opponent of the year coming into Memorial Gymnasium on Tuesday as the Auburn Tigers travel to Nashville for an SEC matchup. The Auburn Tigers entered last week ranked No. 1 but lost on Saturday to the No. 6 Florida Gators, suffering their first SEC loss of the year.
Auburn will still be ranked highly as the new polls release on Monday, making the Tuesday matchup even more important. Vanderbilt moved to 3-5 in Quad 1 games with its win over Texas but a home victory over the Tigers would be enormous for the Commodores’ NCAA Tournament resume.
