Vanderbilt men's basketball plays final exhibition at Miami on Friday

The Commodores, 2-0 in exhibitions, tip off at 5 p.m. Central at Watsco Center.

NASHVILLE - Vanderbilt men's basketball plays its final exhibition game of the fall at Miami at 5 p.m. Central on Friday, Oct. 23, at Watsco Center in Coral Gables, Florida, according to a Vanderbilt Athletics preview. The game will be on 94.9 The Fan.

Vanderbilt, ranked No. 24 and No. 21 in the preseason polls, visits a Miami team ranked No. 14 and No. 17, the preview says.

The Commodores beat Virginia and UAB in their first two exhibitions and had four players score in double figures in each.

Junior guard Tyler Tanner, a preseason first-team All-American for the Associated Press, CBS Sports and ESPN, averaged 19.5 points, 5.1 assists and 2.4 steals per game last season.

Vanderbilt's roster includes seven freshmen and four sophomores; the preview calls it the seventh-youngest in college basketball.
