This is unlikely to push Vanderbilt out of the NCAA Tournament completely. But the Commodores haven't looked in the last two games like a team that could put a scare into top seeds in March, and the problem becomes magnified if MJ Collins and Grant Huffman, who missed Saturday's game with injury, can't return soon.

The Commodores finished their regular season with a loss at Georgia. Texas (17-13, 6-11) will face Oklahoma on Saturday afternoon, but the matchup and seeding will remain the same regardless of the result. The Longhorns defeated Mississippi State in overtime on Tuesday.

Asa Newell spoke with confidence after Georgia's 79-68 win over Vanderbilt on Saturday when he proclaimed, “We're going to be dancing.” It has been 10 years since a Georgia player could make that boast about the Bulldogs' NCAA Tournament outlook following their final regular-season game.
