Vanderbilt 66, Xavier 64 (OT): Kyle Fuller scored all 12 of the Commodores’ points in the extra period as they defeated the host Musketeers for the first time in six all-time meetings.

Fuller finished with a career-high 25 points, Kedren Johnson scored 19 and Kevin Bright added 11 and 10 rebounds for Vanderbilt (3-4), which avenged an overtime loss to Xavier (6-2) a season ago.

On Vanderbilt’s next possession, he converted a three-point play and a pair of free throws with 15 seconds left to answer a 3-pointer from Brad Redford that pulled the Musketeers within one point.

Consecutive three-point plays by Travis Taylor and one by Justin Martin helped Xavier open a 13-point lead on two occasions early in the second half – the second coming with 15:21 remaining – before the Commodores used a 17-4 run over a 6:25 stretch to tie the game at 47.
