NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Saben Lee scored a career-high 33 points and Vanderbilt upset No. 18 LSU 99-90 Wednesday night to end the Southeastern Conference's longest regular season skid at 26 straight. It also gave first-year coach Jerry Stackhouse his first league victory.
The Commodores (9-13, 1-8 SEC) hadn't beaten an SEC opponent since downing Ole Miss on March 3, 2018 - a span of 28 league games counting tournament losses. Vanderbilt has been playing without the SEC's leading scorer Aaron Nesmith since the second game of league play this season.
Lee and Maxwell Evans, who had a career-high 31 points, teamed up to knock off the defending SEC champs.
