Vanderbilt opens SEC play on Saturday, but the Commodores will close out 2018 with one final tuneup. The Commodores host the UNC Asheville Bulldogs on Monday afternoon.
Is this a game Vanderbilt should win? Yes, and quite easily. UNC Asheville hasn’t beaten a Division I team this season, and they actually lost to a Division II team on Saturday. They’re the least-experienced team in the country according to KenPom, with four of their top five players being freshmen.
