Vanderbilt Commodores Off to Strong Start in 2024-25 Basketball Season

The Vanderbilt Commodores men’s basketball team has made a significant mark at the beginning of the 2024-25 season, achieving their first 4-0 start since the 2018-19 campaign. In their latest game, the Commodores secured a 94-81 victory over Jackson State, showcasing their strong offensive and defensive capabilities.

This undefeated start places Vanderbilt among the top teams in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), alongside other undefeated teams such as Florida, Georgia, Auburn, Kentucky, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, and Tennessee. The Commodores’ performance has been impressive, highlighting their potential for a successful season.

In addition to their men’s team, the Vanderbilt women’s basketball team has also started the season on a high note. The Commodores women’s team recently defeated Samford with a convincing 93-37 win, marking their second consecutive victory to open the 2024-25 season. This dominant performance indicates a strong start for the women’s team as well.

The Commodores are set to continue their competitive schedule, with the men’s team facing the Nevada Wolf Pack in the Charleston Classic on November 21. This game, part of a larger tournament in Charleston, South Carolina, will be an important test for the team as they look to maintain their undefeated record.
