Assist to Turnover

Vanderbilt: 2nd - 2.63

Nevada: 31st - 1.76



Bench PPG

Vanderbilt: 53rd - 33.25

Nevada: 284th - 18.00

This is something to watch. Nevada heavily relies on their starting group, who is taller. Could VU’s pace make a difference here late in the game?



Fast break points

Vanderbilt: 43rd - 17.25

Nevada: 271st - 8.25

Again, can the pace give Vandy an edge?



FG Percentage

Nevada: 30th - 51.69%

Vanderbilt 91st - 48.13%

Not a huge advantage here



Scoring Defense

Nevada: 36th - 61.2 PPG

Vanderbilt: 205th - 72.2 PPG

First real test for Nevada’s defense, and first real test for VU’s offense. Intriguing matchup



Scoring offense

Vanderbilt: 23rd - 91.5 PPG

Nevada: 120th - 81.8 PPG



Three Point Percentage

Nevada: 2nd - 48.61%

Vanderbilt: 310th - 27.87%

Likely where the game will be won or lost. Need a good shooting performance



All in all, this has the makings of a really good game. It will be interesting to see if Vandy’s depth/pace can wear Nevada down. Vandy will have to guard the three, while making some of their own on the other end. Nevada will be in the NCAA Tournament most likely, so this is not a must win, but it’d be a great one for the resume.
