Vanderbilt vs Alabama match preview
Why Vanderbilt will win
Can the Commodores outlast the tide?
The first five might not be anything amazing, but it’s a deep group that can keep filtering options to bomb away.
They don’t make many mistakes and make things interesting when they get hot early. To make this interesting, they need to come up with at least eight three-pointers.

Why Alabama will win
The Vanderbilt defense doesn’t generate enough pressure or force enough mistakes to make a difference. That’s not the real problem.
Yes, Oklahoma went on the Bama defense, but that’s not happening here. The Tide only allowed more than six threes eight times and is 13-0 if it gives up less.

What will happen
Alabama won’t be in a good mood after this trip to Norman.
It’s unbeaten at home, with a whole host of ugly events – 20+ point blowouts are the norm. Vanderbilt will do just enough of three for a stretch to keep this from becoming catastrophic, but there won’t be much drama.
