NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Jeffery Taylor and Steve Tchiengang had 15 points each and Vanderbilt hit a season-high 13 3-pointers to breeze past Southeastern Louisiana 85-52 on Saturday night.

Eight different Commodores made a 3-pointer. Vanderbilt (8-2) shot 50 percent (13 of 26) from long distance, but only a little better from the free-throw line (14 of 24).

It was a season high for Tchiengang, who at 6-foot-9 stepped out and hit two 3-pointers. Lance Goulbourne had 13 points, and John Jenkins added 12 on four 3-pointers.

The Lions (5-4) were led by Gary Dixon, who came off the bench to score 16. Antonnio Benton added 10 as the Southeastern Louisiana bench outscored its starters 36-16.

The Commodores took a 53-24 halftime lead, converting 62.5 percent (20 of 32) from the floor. It was the most points they had scored in a first half since Nov. 24, 2007, against Bradley in the Cancun Challenge.
