Kentucky out-lasted a tremendous team effort from Vanderbilt to defeat the Commodores 77-71 in Tampa. The Wildcats put the clamps on Scotty Pippen Jr., making way for TyTy Washington to star. The freshman phenom scored 25 points and Oscar Tshiebwe tied Dan Issel’s double-double record (12 points, 14 rebounds) to set up a date with Tennessee Saturday afternoon in the SEC Tournament semifinals.
