CINCINNATI (AP) - Two players who had to sit and watch last year's NCAA tournament will have a lot to do with how Vanderbilt and Xavier fare in their second-round game on the Musketeers' home court.
Vanderbilt forward Hannah Tuomi and Xavier forward Amber Harris were recovering from injuries when their teams played in the tournament. The Commodores lost in the round of 16, while Xavier dropped its first game.
Both are fully recovered and important cogs on front lines that could decide their matchup Tuesday. Tuomi had 17 points and 12 rebounds in Vanderbilt's first-round win over DePaul. Harris had a season-high 31 points and eight rebounds in Xavier's victory over East Tennessee State.
