SEC Tournament – Second Round

(8) Vanderbilt vs. (9) Georgia

With the way the SEC standings currently sit, the Bulldogs are likely to play Vanderbilt in the opening round of the SEC tournament. The Bulldogs beat the Commodores back in January. Maten led the Dawgs in scoring with 21 points that night, but Juwan Parker also added 17 points, one of the few games this season that Maten and Frazier were not the two leading scorers.

Vanderbilt is currently no. 46 in the RPI with the second toughest schedule in the entire country. The Commodores have four wins coming against RPI top 50 teams (@ Florida, Iowa State, @ Arkansas, South Carolina). After losing four straight at the beginning of January, Vanderbilt has won 7 of their last 10 games.
