Vanderbilt and Western Kentucky meet on the hardwoods at Memorial Gym tonight. VU will be trying to avenge a loss to the Hilltoppers from last year, while WKU attempts to rebound from last Saturday's heartbreaking loss to South Carolina in Bowling Green. VandySports.com's Chris Lee asks InsideHilltopperSports.com's Jason Stamm five key questions about tonight's match-up.


1. How has the graduation of A.J. Slaughter affected WKU?

"Slaughter was always 'the guy' last season. When it came down to a last-second shot, Slaughter was the guy. It was his team and there were no questions about it. I'm not sure if anyone really knows whose team this is. And if it comes down to the last shot, I'm not sure who you'd want to take it.

"There's a lot of identity questions as far as that goes that I think will be answered this season, but haven't been yet. But it will probably be between Sergio Kerusch, Steffphon Pettigrew and Juan Pattillo.
