3 things to know about the Vanderbilt Commodores

The No. 16 Auburn Tigers return home to Neville Arena tomorrow to take on the Vanderbilt Commodores.

Vanderbilt is still looking for its first win of conference play and has dropped 10 of its last 11 games.

What are three of the most important things to know about the Vanderbilt Commodores?

Vanderbilt has a dynamic guard duo who can score

Vanderbilt has two talented guards in Tyrin Lawrence and Ezra Manjon.

Lawrence, a 6-foot-4 senior from Monticello, Georgia, is Vanderbilt's second-highest scorer with 14.3 points per game and the team's leading rebounder with 5.1 per game. He also shoots 40% from the field.

Manjon, a 6-foot senior from Antioch, California, leads the Commodores in scoring with 15.1 points per game. He also averages 3.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game and shoots 46.1% from the field.

Containing these two needs to be a priority for Auburn.

Vanderbilt likes to get the ball inside 

Vanderbilt struggles from beyond the arc, shooting only 28.4% as a team.

As a result, the Commodores like to get the ball inside and score in the paint.

Auburn's front court will need to be on or the Tigers could end up on upset alert.

Vanderbilt can compete

Despite not having the best record, Vanderbilt is capable of hanging around in a game.

The Commodores have been competitive with Alabama and Tennessee, two of the best teams in the conference.

If Auburn gets caught looking ahead, it could pick up its third loss in a row.

Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. CT. The television broadcast can be found on ESPN2 and the Auburn Sports Network broadcast can be streamed anywhere on the Auburn Athletics App.
