SUNDAY, JAN. 27
MEN'S BASKETBALL @ FLORIDA
Noon (LFS)
No. 14 Vanderbilt travels to Gainesville to take on the two-time defending national champion Florida Gators (17-3, 4-1 Southeastern Conference). Everyone remembers the last time these two teams met on Feb. 17, as Vanderbilt (17-2, 2-2 SEC) beat the then-No. 1 Gators 83-70 at Memorial Gym. The Commodores have not beaten Florida in Gainesville, however, since 2001.
Coach Billy Donovan's team is young but has plenty of talent, led by freshman swingman Nick Calathes who is averaging 19.9 points per game in SEC play.
SUNDAY, JAN. 27
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL VS. MISSISSIPPI
2 P.M. (MEMORIAL GYM)
The Vanderbilt women's basketball team hosts its annual "Jam the Gym" event on Sunday when Mississippi (8-8, 2-1 SEC) visits Memorial Gymnasium. All tickets for Sunday's fan-appreciation game are available for only $1. Events surrounding the Commodores' key SEC match-up include a headband giveaway for the first 1,000 fans in attendance as well as a mascot basketball game at halftime and a post-game clinic and autograph session. Vanderbilt (13-6, 2-2 SEC) plays its first unranked opponent since beating Mississippi State on Jan. 10.
WOMEN'S TENNIS
The No. 16 Vanderbilt women's tennis team returns home this weekend to face two nationally ranked opponents as it welcomes No. 23 Michigan on Friday at 2:30 p.m. and hosts No. 9 Notre Dame at noon on Saturday.
Vanderbilt enters the weekend with a 3-0 dual match record after defeating two ranked opponents last weekend in Albuquerque, N.M. The black and gold got past host school No. 67 New Mexico 5-2 last Friday and dominated No. 38 Colorado 7-0 on Sunday. Five Commodores enter the second week of the season with perfect singles records.
THEY SAID IT
"He's done nothing to hurt himself and probably even strengthened his status. I've got Chris going 19th to the Eagles (in updated draft projection), and I can see him moving up from there."
--ESPN Draft Analyst Mel Kiper on Vanderbilt offensive lineman Chris Williams' performance at Senior Bowl practices
