Vanderbilt Stuns No. 9 Kentucky for Second Straight Top-10 Upset

The Commodores secure a 74-69 victory over the Wildcats, marking their first win against Kentucky at home since 2016.

Vanderbilt defeated No. 9 Kentucky 74-69, following last week's upset of then-No. 6 Tennessee, making it their second consecutive win over a top-10 team.
Tyler Nickel's late three-pointer sealed Vanderbilt's lead, with Jason Edwards contributing a team-high 18 points.
The Commodores capitalized on Kentucky's 17 turnovers, scoring 14 points off these errors while committing only five turnovers themselves.
This marks Vanderbilt's first home win against Kentucky since 2016 and highlights their improved performance under first-year coach Mark Byington.
