TAMPA, Fla. (AP) Scottie Pippen Jr. scored 26 points, Myles Stute added 18 and 11th-seeded Vanderbilt rallied from a 15-point second-half deficit to upset six-seed and defending SEC tournament champ Alabama 82-76 Thursday night.
Alabama (19-13) beat Vanderbilt 74-72 on Feb. 22 and Pippen declared after the Commodores’ win over Georgia on Wednesday that the Tide was ”a very beatable team … a team we wanted to play.” And with his famous father in the stands, he proved himself right, helping to send the Commodores (17-15) into Friday’s quarterfinals against third-seeded and fifth-ranked Kentucky.
Pippen was only 5 of 19 from the floor but made 15 of 21 free throws. Stute hit six 3-pointers. Rodney Chatman scored all 12 of his points in the second half when the trio combined for 39 of Vanderbilt’s 54 points and the Commodores shot 50%. Jordan Wright added 13 points and 11 rebounds.
