Final Thoughts:
Ramblers found their shooting stroke. They shot 49% from the field (45.9 % from behind the 3-point line). Their shooting overcame foul trouble and turnovers. 

For the Commodores, they couldn't find a consistent scorer other than Scotty Pippen, Junior. 

Ramblers are hoping Vanderbilt can find a way to play better in the SEC portion of the Nashville University's season. 

LUC will head to Chicago to face Norfolk State, Next Sunday. While Vanderbilt will stay here and face Austin Peay, Next Saturday.
