The Commodores head to Columbia go for a season sweep of the Gamecocks (11-10, 3-4 Southeastern Conference). Vanderbilt comes off its first SEC road win of the season after defeating Georgia on Wednesday.

South Carolina beat then-No. 24 Mississippi on Feb. 2 in Oxford for its first-ever road win over the Rebels. Sophomore guard Devan Downey, who leads the SEC in scoring with 19.8 points per game, had 25 to pace the Gamecocks.

Vanderbilt (19-4, 4-4 SEC) has beaten South Carolina in their last four meetings and hasn't lost in Columbia since 2005. Vanderbilt won 80-73 on Jan. 9 at Memorial Gym in their most recent meeting.

Two Big East teams on hot streaks meet at Louisville's Freedom Hall on Saturday night. Georgetown (19-2, 9-1 Big East) sits atop the conference riding a six-game winning streak, while Louisville just swept then-No. 17 Marquette with an emphatic 71-57 win on Feb. 4.

The Cardinals (17-6, 7-3 Big East) have moved into a tie for third place in the conference. A win would get them within one game of the Hoyas.

Senior big man Roy Hibbert paces Georgetown with 13.1 points and 7.0 rebounds per game, while sophomore guard Jerry Smith's 11.4 points per game leads Louisville.

A meeting of two teams heading in opposite directions happens in Tuscaloosa on Sunday. Vanderbilt (17-6, 6-2 SEC) looks to continue its recent strong play when it visits the Crimson Tide. After a period of sluggish play, the Commodores have soared to third place in the SEC with four straight wins.

Meanwhile, Alabama (8-15, 1-7 SEC) is mired in the SEC cellar and is one of two teams in the conference with an overall losing record. However, the Tide's season can already be considered a success compared to last year's, when they didn't win a single game in SEC play.

Freshman forward Tierney Jenkins leads Alabama with 11.4 points per game.
