ACC/SEC Basketball Roundup, 11/10

Four more teams tipped off last night, let's see how they did against the challenging teams they have scheduled.

Vanderbilt 81, Austin Peay 67
In an actually challenging game, Vandy took control early and maintained a constant lead throughout. Shan Foster rebounded from a shaky outing in the exhibition to hit seven 3's on his way to 21 points. Alex Gordon added 19, and Australian freshman A.J. Ogilvy scored 18. Next up: at Toledo, 11/13.

Boston College 67, New Hampshire 57
A great sign for BC, as two freshmen, Rakim Sanders and Biko Harris, scored 22 and 19 respectively, as Tyrese Rice and Shamari Spears did not play. They were suspended one game for playing in a non-sanctioned event over the summer. Next up: Florida Atlantic, 11/12.

Ole Miss 97, Mississippi Valley State 63
Freshman from Atlanta Trevor Gaskins made seven of ten 3's attempted, scoring 21 points in just 20 minutes of action. David Huertas added 12 in this dominating performance. Next up: South Alabama, 11/13.

Mississippi State 75, Louisiana Tech 45
Not even the Mailman could help the Techsters in this one, as Jamont Gordon scored 21 to lead the Bulldogs of Miss State. Charles Rhodes added 17, and guard Barry Stewart recorded a double double with 13 points and 11 rebounds. Next up: Clemson, 11/15.
