Vanderbilt is in one hell of a slump, but a matchup against 6-7 Arkansas could be the game they need to right their ship.
Vanderbilt is slumping. The Commodores are 3-5 after a 5-0 start to their season and suddenly at risk of missing the NCAA Tournament for the fourth straight year. A loss on Tuesday would secure their spot on the ugly side of the bubble.
Fortunately, they'll get a chance to get off that schneid against an Arkansas team that isn't even the best program in their home state. The Razorbacks have stumbled to a 6-7 start that dropped them behind Arkansas-Little Rock in the college basketball pecking order.
