Vanderbilt may be in a transition period with head coach Bryce Drew in his first year at the helm. But while the Commodores have lost nine games, they're still dangerous thanks to what they can do from long range.

Entering Tuesday night's game against Georgia, Vanderbilt has been the the SEC's best 3-point shooting team with a collective 39.5 percent. Vanderbilt is also shooting this high of a percentage with 423 attempts, the second most in the conference.

Knowing that the 3-point shot is the great equalizer, Fox said defending the perimeter will once again be a key component in Tuesday night's game.

"They are a great 3-point shooting team," Fox said. "They have some terrific percentages and a lot of guys who make them from different spots on the floor. They've got a very good system that gets them open shots. It's one of the challenges in the game, certainly. It's not something where as a coach you can expect to shut them out. You're hope is to slow them down a little bit. We'll have to try a number of different things to do that."
