Vanderbilt Stuns McNeese, Advances in NCAA Tournament

0:00On March 19, Vanderbilt grabbed their first NCAA tournament win since 2012, rallying past McNeese 78-68. Tyler Tanner led the chart with 26 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists for the 5th CD Commodores, who improved to 27 and 8. The team fell behind by 12 in the first half, but flipped the script after half time, getting key buckets from Duke Miles with 13 points. Plus, 12, each from Devin McLaughlin and Tyler Nichol. Vanderbilt's sharp shooting made the difference, hitting 51% from the field and 17 of 23 throws in a gritty battle, typical of March Madness. Now they advanced to face 4th seed in Nebraska on Saturday in the second round of the South region. This momentum could carry them deep if they keep executing like that.
