LSU Tigers: Hoping to Win For Second Straight Night
LSU is a bad team and it is surprising they find themselves having won their first round game against the Georgia Bulldogs. The Tigers only won two SEC games this season, but one was a 84-77 home win over these Commodores.
Vanderbilt is off the bubble radar right now and a loss in this LSU vs Vanderbilt matchup will see them heading to the NIT.
Vanderbilt Commodores: Favored to Keep Season Alive (For Now)
Vandy hosted the Mississippi State Bulldogs and held on for a 77-72 victory. The final score is not indicative of how this game went as Vandy were comfortably in control throughout. A late run for the Bulldogs made the final minutes uncomfortably for the Commodores, but the result was never in doubt. Vanderbilt let by as many as 12 points, never trailed in the game, and covered the -3.5-point spread.
Jordan Wright had 19 points, six rebounds, three assists, and one steal in the game. Ezra Manjon added 15 points, one rebound, seven assists, two steals, and one block in the win.
