Devin McGlockton - Available vs. Mississippi McGlockton (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's game against Mississippi.

Impact Though the SEC availability report's previous inclusion of McGlockton may have caused a scare, it is unsurprising that he will be available Saturday, considering his ex-probable status. In 21 starts this season, the forward-center is averaging 10.2 points and 7.0 rebounds this season, demonstrating that his previous season with Vanderbilt was not a fluke and establishing himself as one of the more reliable frontcourt players in college basketball.

Devin McGlockton - Probable for Saturday McGlockton (undisclosed) is probable for Saturday's clash with Ole Miss.

Impact McGlockton has yet to miss a game -- or a start -- all season for the Commodores. The senior forward averages 10.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists; he would be a big loss for Vanderbilt. Still, he should be expected to play at this juncture given his probable designation.
