Scouting the Commodores
Vanderbilt brings a 12-3 record into tonight's game with those three losses coming back in November. The Commodores have not lost in their last nine outings, winning those games by an average of 24.0 points. The streak includes wins over Ole Miss and Mississippi State to open SEC play. Head coach Melanie Balcomb's team is a precision combination of offense and defense as the Commodores average 71.9 points on 45.2 percent shooting, including an SEC-best 37.0 percent from 3-point range, while holding opponents to just 56.4 points per game. Vanderbilt's top three scorers rank among the top 22 in the SEC with two of them among the league's most accurate shooters. Senior forward Tiffany Clarke leads the way at 16.3 points per game (4th in SEC) on 58.2 percent shooting (2nd in SEC). Her 8.2 rebounds per game also rank her seventh in the league, and she adds 1.5 blocked shots per contest as well. Junior Christina Foggie adds 15.6 points per game, shooting 36.0 percent from 3-point range. Junior Jasmine Lister rounds out the trio of double-digit scorers with 11.8 points per game to go with her 6.1 assists per game, which ranks second in the SEC.

I'm not trying to be a board nazi, but more of just a curiosity- aren't women's sports supposed to go in the 'Other Sports' forum?
