Sophomore guard Eric Gaines scored a season-high 16 points and made four steals as he reached double figures for the sixth time in the last seven games. He is averaging 10.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.2 steals, which ranks fourth in the SEC and 16th nationally.

Also stuffing the stat sheet is Days with 13.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals a game. Freshman guard Brandon Murray has a 10.1 scoring average.

Senior center Liam Robbins, a transfer from Minnesota, made his season debut after sitting out the first 20 games with a foot injury. He contributed two rebounds and a blocked shot in 13 minutes.

Though Kentucky leads the nation in rebounding margin, Vanderbilt held a 37-30 edge on the board while holding the Wildcats to 38.6% (22 of 57) shooting.

The Commodores were within 56-53 with 9:28 remaining. However, Kentucky went on a 13-4 run to take control at 69-57.

LSU vs Vanderbilt Prediction

LSU has won three of the last four games in the series, including 83-68 last March 2 at home as Days had a double-double with 13 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. Wright scored 13 points and grabbed six rebounds for Vanderbilt.

LSU is not as good as it looked in its first 12 games but not as bad as it has looked during many of its last 10 games. Expect the Tigers to get back on track against the Commodores, who will likely be emotionally spent after the effort at Kentucky.
