NASHVILLEL, Tenn. (AP) — Tyler Harris scored 17 points off the bench, Duke Miles added 15 and Vanderbilt cruised to a 92-62 win over Eastern Kentucky on Wednesday night.
Tyler Tanner added 13 points and Devin McGlockton and AK Okereke had 11 each for the Commodores (3-0), who scored 105 points in their first two games.
MJ Williams scored 20 points for the Colonels (1-2) and Austin Ball had 10.
Vanderbilt shot 52% (36 of 69) from the field with 10 3-pointers and had a rebounding advantage of 15, with a 50-18 advantage on points in the paint.
Eastern Kentucky shot 33% (20 of 60) with eight 3s and was outscored 23-4 on fast break points.
The Commodores shot 58% in the first half, with Miles and Harris scoring 10 points apiece, to take a 45-27 lead. Tyler Nickel had a three-point play and Miles a layup and 3-pointer in an early 11-0 run that had Vanderbilt on top 16-5 almost four minutes in.
Tanner knocked down a 3 to cap a 9-0 burst in the middle of the half as the lead reached 29-9.
The Colonels made just 3 of 14 shots through almost 12 minutes while Vanderbilt was 11 of 17 just about 11 minutes. Eastern Kentucky made four straight including three-straight 3s by Williams to cut the deficit to 16 but then the Colonels missed their last four shots.
A 13-0 run had the Commodores ahead 62-32 five minutes into the second half.
