Vanderbilt vs. Kentucky preview
The Vanderbilt Commodores have been one of the most impressive teams in the NCAA this season. However, they suffered a 2-1 series defeat against the top-ranked Tennessee last week, despite winning Game 3.
Nonetheless, Vanderbilt will want to finish the season on a high, since it gives the team a better chance at playing in the NCAA Tournament. However, the Commodores have been underwhelming on the road and have posted just a 3-10 record heading into their final series of the regular season.
Meanwhile, the Kentucky Wildcats are in contention to win the SEC title if they clean sweep Vanderbilt in their final series of the regular season. However, it will depend on how Tennessee fares in its final series against South Carolina.
Kentucky's game against Wright State was canceled on Tuesday due to bad weather. It was the second Wildcats game that got canceled in a week.
Nick Mingione's team previously beat the Florida Gators 2-1 in their series and will want to win the SEC title, before the conference tournament gets underway.
