NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A.J. Ogilvy had 20 points, six rebounds and three assists as Vanderbilt defeated Tennessee Tech 83-63 on Saturday.
Ogilvy made six of 10 field goals and shot 8 for 8 from the free throw line, as he reached 20 points for the second straight game.
“For the most part, I thought we took the right three point shots,” Kevin Stallings, VU head coach, said. “We got the ball inside to A.J. [Ogilvy] and he did a good job with it.”
Jeffery Taylor had 14 points and seven rebounds for the Commodores (8-3), and freshman Lance Goulbourne added seven points and seven rebounds in 15 minutes off the bench.
“Lance [Goulbourne’s] seven rebounds are significant,” Stallings added. “For a guy to come in for 15 minutes and get seven rebounds is a good night’s work. As he continues to condition, he’ll continue to play well and play better.”
Frank Davis made four 3-pointers and led Tennessee Tech (6-4) with 19 points. His 3-pointer with 14:27 to play in the first half gave the Golden Eagles their last lead, 9-8.
Daniel Northern added 14 points and grabbed 18 rebounds. He got Tech within three, 28-25, with a jumpshot with 5:10 remaining in the first half, but Vanderbilt responded with a 12-4 run.
