For the first time in half a century, Memorial Gymnasium hosted a top-15 showdown — and Vanderbilt basketball rose to the moment. The No. 10 Commodores took down No. 12 Alabama 96–90 in a thrilling, hard-fought battle that lived up to the hype and echoed the program’s rich history.
Sophomore Tyler Tanner took control when it mattered most, finishing with 29 points, seven assists, and four steals in a statement performance. Duke Miles added 19 points, while Devin McGlockton powered the paint with a double-double, sealing a complete team effort.
The victory marked Vanderbilt’s first top 15 home matchup since 1974 — a reminder that Memorial magic never fades. Fifty years later, the Commodores proved once again that this floor is built for big moments.
