Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings is a little worried about a letdown, and it's not because the 16th-ranked Commodores are facing struggling Alabama today.
Vandy (25-5, 10-5 SEC) is fresh from a dramatic overtime win over Mississippi State Wednesday night that featured Shan Foster's 42-point effort. Stallings is hoping the celebration doesn't linger into the weekend.
"We're coming off one of the great games that I've ever been involved in as a college basketball coach," he said. "Our challenge will be to get our attention redirected and focused on going to Alabama."
This should help: The Commodores need a win against the Crimson Tide (15-15, 4-11) coupled with a Kentucky loss to Florida Sunday to earn the No. 2 Eastern Division seed and a first-round bye in next week's SEC tournament.
Otherwise, they'll have to try the harder route to a tournament title starting with a Thursday game, potentially a rematch with Alabama.
Drake 68, Indiana State 46: Adam Emmenecker had 13 points and 10 rebounds for his first career double-double and the No. 20 Bulldogs (26-4) advanced to the semifinals of the Missouri Valley Conference tournament in St. Louis.
