Vanderbilt basketball travels to No. 16 Auburn with a struggling frontcourt. That may be a problem with the Tigers having one of the best frontcourts in the country.

Despite being ranked very well by advanced metrics, Auburn (16-4, 5-2 SEC) is still unproven against top teams. The Tigers don’t have a Quadrant 1 win, but they are undefeated in Quadrants 3 and 4, which is the area where the Vanderbilt game falls.

The Commodores (5-14, 0-6) are searching for their first SEC win of the season. Under Jerry Stackhouse, this is Vanderbilt’s fourth losing streak of six SEC games or more. A prior six-game streak came in 2021 and the 2019-20 season brought two separate losing streaks of eight and seven games.

Auburn is coming off a loss at Mississippi State while the Commodores lost at home to Tennessee. Auburn won, 80-65, in the prior matchup between the two at Memorial Gymnasium earlier this season.
