Key Matchups

<< Sophomore guard John Jenkins vs. Junior guard Scotty Hopson >>

Verdict: Both players have the ability to win games on their own, but Hopson’s inconsistent play has led to several losses for the Volunteers. Jenkins gets the edge here because of his reliable scoring.

<< Senior guard Jence Rhoads vs. freshman guard Meighan Simmons >>

Verdict: Rhoads’ experience will play a big part in this matchup, but as a freshman Simmons has already become one of the SEC’s top performers, putting up 16.2 points per game. Rhoads benefits from being one of five Commodores who average better than ten points per game, while Simmons often murphy byrne/ The Vanderbilt Hustler has to carry the scoring load for the Lady Vols.
