- Tyler Tanner scored 20 points to lead five Commodores in double figures as No.
- 11 Vanderbilt matched the best start in program history Saturday by beating LSU 84-73. The Commodores (16-0, 3-0 Southeastern Conference) equaled the 2007-08 squad's 16-0 start as the best in the 124 years of Vanderbilt basketball.
- The Commodores came into Saturday one of six undefeated teams this season. Tyler Nickel had 19 points and 10 rebounds.
- Duke Miles added 17 points, AK Okereke had 12 and Jalen Washington 11. LSU (12-4, 0-3) played without its leading scorer, Dedan Thomas Jr., because of a lower leg injury and lost its third straight to open league play for a second straight season. Max Mackinnon led LSU with a season-high 27 points, and Marquel Sutton added 13. The Tigers managed one tie at 2.
- Okereke made a nice move in the paint for a layup that put Vanderbilt ahead to stay followed by a three-point play from Tanner.
