Vanderbilt defeated Ole Miss in Nashville after the game was moved due to storm damage.

No. 18 Vanderbilt hosted Ole Miss in Nashville after the SEC moved the game from Oxford due to winter storm damage delaying the campus reopening until Feb. 8. Vanderbilt, coming off an 80-55 win over Kentucky, showcased improved defense and rebounding with a taller lineup, outrebounding Kentucky 43-37 and blocking nine shots. Tyler Tanner led the Commodores with 19 points, five assists, and four steals, while freshmen Jayden Leverett and Chandler Bing set career highs. Key guards Duke Miles and Frankie Collins were sidelined by injuries. Ole Miss, coming off a 72-63 loss at Kentucky, has struggled with shooting efficiency and effort. The Rebels rely on seniors AJ Storr and Malik Dia, while Vanderbilt’s Tyler Nickel leads the SEC in 3-point percentage (45.8%) and made threes (71).
