NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

01/18/2007 - Nashville, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Shan Foster scored a game-high 27 points as Vanderbilt stormed past 10th-ranked Alabama, 94-73, in a Southeastern Conference showdown at Memorial Coliseum.

Derrick Byars contributed 15 points, while Ross Neltner added 14 and also pulled down six rebounds for the Commodores (12-6, 2-2 SEC), who hit a season- high 15 three-pointers in 28 attempts and shot 58 percent from the floor, their best effort of the season. Dan Cage and Alex Gordon rounded out the players in double-figures, each scoring 12 points.

Mykal Riley had 21 points for the Crimson Tide (14-3, 1-2), who have dropped eight straight road contests against Vanderbilt. Jermareo Davidson scored 18 points, Richard Hendrix donated 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Alonzo Gee chipped in with 11 points and eight boards.

The Commodores eventually grabbed a 19-16 edge on Ted Skuchas' jumper, a shot that started an 11-2 run to open a 28-20 lead with 7:41 to play in the first half.

Alabama continued to chip away at the deficit, but a suddenly hot Vanderbilt offense got nearly every shot to fall as the seconds ticked off the clock. A Byars three-point bucket built the margin to 43-30, in the Commodores' favor, with 3:17 to play.

The Crimson Tide made just three shots from the floor over the final five minutes, as Vanderbilt built a 54-37 lead heading into intermission. Foster ended with 18 points in the opening 20 minutes, while the Commodores made a scorching 68 percent of their shots from the hardwood.

Despite trailing badly most of the second half, Alabama managed to pull within nine, 76-67, with 8:28 remaining in the contest.

The Crimson Tide, however, did not make another shot from the floor until there was just 1:22 left to play. By that point, Vanderbilt had built a 19- point cushion and cruised to the finish.
