Alabama Basketball Up to No. 3 in Latest AP Top 25 The Crimson Tide moved up one spot after taking care of business against Vanderbilt and at LSU.
Liam Robbins - Double-double, seven blocks Robbins produced 19 points (5-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-11 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, seven blocks and one steal in 32 minutes during Saturday's 74-71 win over Ole Miss.
Impact Robbins' double-double is his first as a Vanderbilt player. Quentin Millora-Brown was limited for whatever reason, so Robbins was tasked to protect the rim, which he did spectacularly by blocking seven shots. Robbins has been playing so well recently that it will be a difficult decision when it comes to deciding Vanderbilt's starting big men between him, the aforementioned Millora-Brown and Myles Stute.

Tyrin Lawrence - Surprising double-double Lawrence racked up 18 points (7-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes during Saturday's 74-71 victory over Ole Miss.
Impact Lawrence's 18 points were to be expected if he shot the ball a lot, but his 10 rebounds are a surprise, considering he had not logged more than five rebounds across any of the 2022-23 Commodores' other games.

Jordan Wright - In concussion protocol Wright is in concussion protocol, according to Aria Gerson of The Tennessean.
Impact Wright's head injury is worse than what it was when first recognized. He is not expected to play when the Commodores host Mississippi on Saturday. Because they are dealing with a litany of injuries, there is no sure-fire replacement for Wright at the moment.

Liam Robbins - Nine points, seven rebounds Robbins registered nine points (4-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT) and seven rebounds in 15 minutes during Tuesday's 101-44 loss to Alabama.
Impact Despite scoring inefficiently, Robbins was one point away from logging a double-digit tally and compensated for the inconsistency by recording seven rebounds. Whether a part of Vanderbilt's starting lineup or not, those categories are what he can provide for fantasy managers. This season, Robbins is averaging 13.2 points and 5.9 rebounds without much differences as a starter and reserve.

Tyrin Lawrence - Doesn't play Tuesday Vanderbilt coach Jerry Stackhouse said Lawrence was absent from Tuesday's loss to Alabama due to a coach's decision, Aria Gerson of The Tennessean reports.
Impact Lawrence's absence is somewhat peculiar, as the junior guard has started in 19 of the team's 21 games this season. While it's possible that this was an informal team suspension, there's no indication that Lawrence will miss any additional games.

Jordan Wright - Misses remainder of game Vanderbilt coach Jerry Stackhouse said Wright felt "lightheaded" at halftime, so he didn't return to Tuesday's game versus Alabama, Aria Gerson of The Tennessean reports.
Impact Wright collided with teammate Liam Robbins in the first half of Tuesday's game. It doesn't appear that Wright has suffered a concussion, so he should be good to go for Saturday's matchup with Ole Miss.

Jordan Wright - Exits after collision Tuesday Wright appeared to sustain an injury during the first half of Monday's game against Alabama and has yet to return, Aria Gerson of The Tennessean reports.
Impact Wright collided with Commodores center Liam Robbins, leaving both players bleeding from their face/head, according to Chad Bishop of Vanderbilt's official team site. While Robbins was able to check back in to start the second half, Wright has yet to emerge from the locker room following halftime. Therefore, it appears the 6-foot-6 senior could be out for the remainder of the contest, as Alabama is currently winning by over 40 points late in the second half.
JANUARY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Liam Robbins - Making surprise return Tuesday Robbins (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game at Alabama.
Impact Robbins has missed the Commodores' last six games while dealing with an ankle injury, which was expected to keep him sidelined for at least two more weeks. However, the 7-foot senior will suit back up for the first time since Jan. 14. Robbins, who has started seven of his 17 games this season, is averaging 13.2 points and 5.9 rebounds across 22.1 minutes per contest. He also came off the bench in all six contests before his absence, so it's likely he'll see similar usage in his first game back.

Impact The 6-foot-7 forward had a career day on Saturday, scoring a season-high 22 points and knocked down seven three-point shots. Stute was lighting it up on offense and couldn't be slowed down as he shot 46.7 percent from the field. The junior is now averaging 10.4 points and 5.3 rebounds this season and should continue to be a huge piece for the Commodores moving forward.
