| === Mississippi State downs Vandy, heads back to SEC final === Nashville, TN (Sports Network) - Barry Stewart had 14 points and eight rebounds to help Mississippi State upend No. 20 Vanderbilt, 62-52, for a return trip to the SEC Tournament title game. Jarvis Varnado was his usual dominant self in the paint with 11 points, nine rebounds and six blocks while holding Vandy's resident big, A.J. Ogilvy, without a field goal and to just four boards. Dee Bost also kicked in 11 points for the Bulldogs (23-10), who defeated Tennessee in the 2009 title game and will look to add to their three SEC crowns in a daunting task opposite Kentucky, which got by the Volunteers earlier Saturday. Jermaine Beal recorded 11 points and Jeffery Taylor added nine with eight rebounds for the Commodores (24-8), who struggled at times before getting by Georgia in the quarterfinals on Friday. Brad Tinsley also had nine points but Vandy shot just 34.6 percent from the floor and trailed nearly the entire game. 03/13 17:56:10 ET |
