3 things to know about Vanderbilt
The No. 15 Kentucky Wildcats host the Vanderbilt Commodores at Rupp Arena tomorrow.
Kentucky is looking for its fourth-straight win, Vanderbilt is looking to get back on track after losing to LSU on Saturday.
What are three of the most important things to know about the Vanderbilt Commodores?
Vanderbilt has a guard duo that Kentucky needs to contain
The Commodores have two dangerous guards in Tyrin Lawrence and Ezra Manjon.
Lawrence, a 6-foot-4 senior, is Vanderbilt's second-highest scorer at 13.7 points per game. He also averages 4.8 rebounds per game and shoots 39.4% from the field.
Manjon, a 6-foot senior, is the leading scorer for the Commodores with 14.3 points per game. He also averages 3.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists while shooting 44.4% from the field.
If Kentucky lets these two get going, Vanderbilt could hang around.
