What to Know
The Vanderbilt Commodores and the Dayton Flyers are set to clash at 3 p.m. ET March 20 at Memorial Gym in the second round of the NIT.
Vanderbilt strolled past the Belmont Bruins with points to spare on Tuesday, taking the contest 82-71. The Commodores relied on the efforts of guard Jordan Wright, who had 24 points along with seven rebounds, and forward Quentin Millora-Brown, who had eight points in addition to 13 boards.
Meanwhile, the Flyers earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing on Wednesday. They enjoyed a cozy 74-55 win over the Toledo Rockets. Dayton’s forward DaRon Holmes II did his thing and had 20 points in addition to six rebounds.
Vanderbilt was within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap when the teams previously met five seasons ago as they fell 68-63 to Dayton. Maybe Vanderbilt will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the game and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
