Vanderbilt or Kentucky can reassert their claim as a top SEC program with a win on Saturday.
Vanderbilt has used their depth and shooting prowess to turn an 0-3 start to conference play into a .500 SEC record. Now, they can notch their first NCAA Tournament resume-building win of the season by taking down the league's big bad wolf when they travel to Lexington on Saturday.
The Commodores will face No. 23 Kentucky in a nationally televised showdown between the league's top two preseason picks. Vandy and UK were trendy choices to take down the league title and have two of the nation's most talented rosters, but both teams have had to deal with disappointment this season.
