In this story:

After a blowout win against the LSU Tigers, Alabama basketball will hit the road to Nashville to take on Vanderbilt.

Nate Oats' squad has won six games in a row, and the Crimson Tide hold a perfect record on the road this season. Brandon Miller is coming off one of his best performances of the season, scoring 31 points on seven made 3-pointers. The 106 points were also the most points scored in a game in almost two years.

Alabama will face a Vanderbilt team whose record is 9-8 and 2-2 in SEC play. The calling card of the Commodores is rim protection, ranking fourth in the conference with 90 blocks. The main source of the success has been Liam Robbins, who is fifth in the nation in blocks with an average of 2.9 per game. The seven-footer also leads Vanderbilt in scoring with 13.2 points per game.

This will be the first of two matchups between Alabama and Vanderbilt, the second matchup being at the end of January in Tuscaloosa.

Here's what you need to know about Tuesday's matchup with the Commodores.
