The guard play will be the primary focus for fans and analysts. Vanderbilt star Mikayla Blakes has been exceptional lately and earned national player of the week honors. She leads a high-powered offense that just put up 102 points in their last outing.
Texas counters with legendary point guard Rori Harmon, who recently broke the school records for assists and steals. Harmon and All-American candidate Madison Booker give the Longhorns a versatile backcourt that can defend and score at a high level.
Vanderbilt could have a slight edge because it is playing in the unique environment of Nashville. The team’s ability to score over 60% in a half during its last home game shows how comfortable its feels at home. However, Texas has already beaten four top-10 teams this season and knows how to win on the road. Vanderbilt’s home-court advantage should provide just enough energy to overcome the stifling Texas defense.
ESPN’s matchup predictor estimates a 79.4% chance for the Longhorns to win this matchup.
As of now, Texas does not have any injury to report ahead of this matchup. However, Vanderbilt’s bench remains thinner than usual, despite a potent Starting 5. Guard Frankie Collins remains out following a mid-December surgery and transfer guard Duke Miles will also sit out after undergoing a cleanup knee surgery in late January.
