Vanderbilt WBB Game Time Changed: The Anchor – Sports Illustrated

In this story:
Vanderbilt women’s basketball will be playing in front of the bigger audience than originally planned on Sunday.
The Commodores host No. 16 Kentucky in Memorial Gymnasium in search of getting back into the win column after a loss to Georgia this past weekend. The game between Vanderbilt and Kentucky has been flexed to 3 p.m. CT Sunday on ESPN2, a nationally televised game.
It is a matchup that will indeed have effects on the conference standings for both teams as the SEC women’s basketball tournament looms in just a couple of weeks. Vanderbilt is looking to stay in the top four of the conference in order to earn a double-bye spot for the conference tournament while Kentucky is looking to slowly climb back into that conversation if it steals one in Nashville.
But perhaps more importantly for Vanderbilt is it is playing for NCAA Tournament seeding. Vanderbilt is also guaranteed to be a host site for the first two rounds, but the Commodores can still climb up into the top four in the country and be one of the No. 1 seeds heading into the NCAA Tournament.
A loss Sunday hurt Vanderbilt’s chances of making that happen, but its hopes of earning one of the top seeds in the tournament is far from over. Vanderbilt still has the capability to stack wins to end the regular season and in the SEC Tournament. But for now, the Commodores will focus on the game they have in front of them on Sunday.
