Vanderbilt Men's Basketball Starts SEC Play with 83-71 Win over South Carolina

On Saturday, No. 11 Vanderbilt Commodores beat South Carolina Gamecocks 83-71 in Columbia, preserving its unbeaten run and opening SEC play.
Without Duke Miles, Vanderbilt played without their leading scorer due to a knee injury, and Mark Byington adjusted rotations, stretching minutes with Frankie Collins also sidelined.
Supporting scorers also stepped up as Tyler Tanner, Vanderbilt guard, had 19 points and a career-high 14 assists, while AK Okereke, Vanderbilt forward, scored 17 and handled extra ball duties.
The Commodores are off to their best start since 2007-08, and No. 11 Vanderbilt Commodores return home to host Alabama Crimson Tide on Wednesday.
If Vanderbilt sustains this depth, it could push toward matching the program-best 16-0 start, while South Carolina Gamecocks will likely finish near the bottom of the SEC.
