Men's Basketball at Arkansas

After a triumphant homestand that saw No. 18 Vanderbilt (24-4, 9-4 Southeastern Conference) defeat four SEC East foes, including No. 1 Tennessee on Tuesday, the Commodores travel to Fayetteville to play Arkansas (18-9, 7-6 SEC).

The Razorbacks were a thorn in the side of the Commodores last season, beating them in the regular-season finale at Memorial Gym and then knocking them out of the SEC tournament with a 72-71 victory.

Arkansas has lost four of its last five games but is 5-1 at home in SEC play. The Razorbacks are struggling to earn a trip to the NCAA Tournament, and a win over red-hot Vanderbilt would be a big resume booster.

SUNDAY

Women's Basketball vs. Alabama

2 p.m.

Radio: 560 AM

The No. 23 Commodores (21-7, 10-3 SEC) close out the regular season against the woeful Crimson Tide (8-20, 1-12 SEC) at Memorial Gym. While Vanderbilt has won eight of its last nine games, Alabama has lost 12 straight, all by at least 13 points.

Vanderbilt handed the Tide their worst loss of the season, 92-47, on Feb. 10. Alabama is the only team in the conference that hasn't reached 10 wins, and about the only good news for the Crimson Tide right now is the season will be over soon.

As the Commodores are a lock for the NCAA Tournament, their season still has a long way to go.

FRIDAY-SUNDAY

Baseball

The Commodores (3-1) host the Music City Classic at Hawkins Field this weekend. Kansas, Iowa and Xavier will come to town for the round-robin tournament starting today at 4 p.m.

Vanderbilt won its home opener 4-3 on Wednesday against Evansville when senior Jonathan White hit a game-winning RBI single in the bottom of the ninth.

The Commodores will be missing All-American junior third baseman Pedro Alvarez, who broke a bone in his hand in the season opener against Oregon State and will be out for a minimum of six weeks.

THEY SAID IT

"Vanderbilt deserves all the credit. They came out with more passion and had more intensity in their eyes."
