Vanderbilt needs a high profile win to work its way back into NCAA Tournament consideration. Fortunately for the Commodores, the nation's no. 8 team is headed to Nashville this week.
The 'Dores are a middling 12-9 this season with only one win over an RPI top 25 team. However, that victory came last week over Florida on the same court that Texas A&M will travel to on Thursday. Vanderbilt won a slopfest that night, but they'll have to be better to topple an Aggie team that has risen to the top of the Southeastern Conference standings.
