AT THE TIP

  • Vanderbilt men’s basketball faces its stiffest test of the young season when the Dores host ACC debutant Cal on Wednesday night.
  • The contest will stream on SEC Network+ and ESPN+ with Andrew Allegretta and Shan Foster on the call. Fans can also catch the game on 102.5 The Game with Kevin Ingram and Tim Thompson.

LAST TIME OUT

  • The Commodores fought off a sluggish start to earn an 85-76 win over Southeast Missouri on Sunday afternoon.
  • A cold shooting day saw the Dores connect on just three attempts from beyond the arc, but the Dores outscored SEMO 42-22 in the paint and hit 32-of-41 free throws to grab the win.

REBOUNDING MACHINE

  • Through the opening week of the season, McGlockton leads the nation in rebounding at 16.0 boards per game.
  • In Sunday’s contest with SEMO, McGlockton snagged a career-high 19 rebounds, the most by a Commodore since at least 1996-97.
  • McGlockton has been especially impactful on the offensive glass where he also leads the country with 8.5 offensive boards per game.
  • As a team, the Dores rank sixth nationally in rebounding, averaging 50.5 boards per game. Vandy is ninth on the offensive boards at 18.5 per contest.

FRESH TO IMPRESS

  • Tyler Tanner leads all freshmen nationally with seven steals through two games.
  • The rookie dropped nine points and added three steals in his collegiate debut.
  • Tanner is the first Vanderbilt freshman to notch three steals in his debut since legendary defender Atiba Prater did so in 1996-97.

COMMODORES AT THE CHARITY

  • Vanderbilt leads the SEC and ranks third nationally in free throws made per game, knocking down 27.0 freebies per contest.
  • The Dores also lead the SEC and rank second nationally in free throw attempts, averaging 37 per game.
  • Jason Edwards and McGlockton lead the Dores with 14 attempts each through two games.

SERIES HISTORY

  • Vanderbilt and Cal are meeting for the first time.
  • A trio of familiar faces will return to Nashville as former Commodore staffers Adam Mazarei and Shasha Brown along with center Lee Dort are Golden Bears.
