Vanderbilt Coach Kevin Stallings

“I never sensed this. We caught them on a great night. We just got off to a good start and it snowballed from there. We were 10 of 12 from the 3-point line at halftime and everyone was making it. Honestly, I felt sympathy for them because things were going so well.”

On rebounding from Kentucky loss…
“Our guys were good to go at the first practice. But I couldn’t be prouder of how we responded tonight because people asked how we would respond after that loss.

Vanderbilt Senior Jeffery Taylor

“It was ridiculous. But everyone got on a roll. When we get on a roll we’re hard to defend. We’re a really resilient team. We weren’t going to hang our heads after that Kentucky loss.”

On Ole Miss…
“It was tough for them because this would have been a signature win. They’re definitely better than what they showed tonight.”

Ole Miss Coach Andy Kennedy

On postgame argument between players outside the locker room…
“I didn’t see it all. There was some frustration. When you play like we played, there’s a lot of frustration to go around. I’m sure some of that was misguided.”

On Ole Miss defense…
“I thought it was just bad all across the board from my vantage point. A lot of that was things that we did poorly. We knew they were going to come in and be very aggressive. I really believed we were going to have the best defensive performance of the year, and it was far from that. It was the same old song and dance. We missed a lot of the shots that we needed to make.”
