NASHVILLE, TENN.  – The Citadel basketball team started off slow shooting from the floor and were unable to get back in it as the Vanderbilt University Commodores won on Wednesday night.

• A Commodores 7-0 run extended the margin to 25-6 at the 9:03 mark.
• Adebisi's jumper with 4:55 to go made it a 35-13 game in favor of Vandy but the Commodores counterpunched with an 11-0 run to push the difference to 46-13.
• McAllister's 3-pointer with less than a minute to go cut the deficit to 49-21 as the Bulldogs trailed by that score at the half.
