What time is Vanderbilt basketball vs Saint Mary's today? Time, TV schedule to watch March Madness game
Vanderbilt basketball returns to March Madness with Friday's first-round game against 7-seed Saint Mary's in Cleveland.
The 10-seed Commodores (20-12) will likely go as far as their offense can take them in the NCAA Tournament. Vandy shot poorly in the SEC Tournament loss to Texas on March 12.
Saint Mary's swept Gonzaga in the regular season en route to the WCC regular-season title but lost to the Zags in the WCC Tournament final.
The Gaels' defense ranks 7th in KenPom, and Saint Mary's will look to slow game tempo to a crawl.

Tennessean reporter Aria Gerson's prediction: Saint Mary's 67, Vanderbilt 62
Vanderbilt has some things going for it in this matchup, but the Gaels' size and ability to rebound −an area in which the Commodores do not excel − could prove to be problematic.
