Vanderbilt basketball, riding a five-game winning streak, hopes to continue the winning ways Wednesday with a team on a very different kind of streak.
LSU (12-15, 1-13 SEC) is on a 13-game losing streak after winning its SEC opener against Arkansas. The Tigers have beaten only one other team in the top 100 of KenPom − Wake Forest − after facing a coaching change and heavy turnover in the offseason.
Vanderbilt (15-12, 8-6), despite its recent surge, is on the very periphery of the bubble due to a NET ranking of 87. Beating the Tigers wouldn’t be a marquee win in any way, but a loss could be devastating to the chances.
