MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Duke Miles scored 22 points as No. 13 Vanderbilt weathered a second-half Memphis rally to remain undefeated with a 77-70 overtime win on Wednesday night.
After the game was tied at 66-all in the extra period, Jalen Washington scored inside and Miles converted four straight free throws. Washington hit two free throws with 57 seconds left that gave the Commodores (11-0) a 74-66 lead.
Miles and Washington, who finished with 14 points, made 9 of 10 free throws in the final 2 1/2 minutes. Tyler Tanner had 16 points.
Dug McDaniel and Sincere Parker led Memphis (4-6) with 18 points each. Hasan Abdul Hakim finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds as Memphis lost its second straight.
The game was tied at 62-62 at the end of regulation as Abdul Hakim scored inside for Memphis with 6.2 seconds left.
The Commodores, which went into the game No. 5 nationally in scoring (95.4 per game), continued their best start since the 2007-08 season when Vandy won its first 16 games. But poor shooting early led to Vanderbilt's lowest-scoring game of the season.
Memphis, which trailed by as many as 10 points in the first half, used a 17-3 run to take its first lead. Parker made a jumper that made it 42-40 with 12:19 left in the game before a steal and layup by Quante Berry capped the spurt nine seconds later. The Commodores had trouble with the Tigers scrambling press leading to 12 Vanderbilt turnovers in the second half.
