With three games left in the regular season, Vanderbilt is still on the NCAA Tournament bubble. Joe Lunardi lists the Commodores as one of the last four teams in the dance, making Saturday’s game absolutely huge for them. Wade Baldwin IV and Damian Jones admitted as much to reporters yesterday.
“We’re trying to play to get to the tournament and they’re a team we have to beat to get in the tournament,” Baldwin said. “Huge game for us.”
Many believe that Jones, a junior, could head to the NBA after this season, and if you read between the lines, he also believes this could be his last chance.
