The Vanderbilt Commodores have gotten off to an incredible start in the first season under new head coach Mark Byington.
Vanderbilt enjoyed another upset over a ranked SEC opponent on Saturday, taking down No. 9 Kentucky. A great win for the program in Year 1 of Mark Byington, the Commodores will be paying the price for some postgame celebrations.
Vandy will get another opportunity to slow down a high-octane offense against the Wildcats, who are averaging 89.2 points per game, second in the nation behind Alabama. Kentucky ranks first in the SEC in field goals made per game (31.2), three-point baskets per game (10.2) and assists per game (18.7).
