Vanderbilt aims to set new win mark vs. Alabama
Mar 8, 2008 - 11:49 AM No. 16 Vanderbilt (25-5) at Alabama (15-15) 2:00 pm ESTTUSCALOOSA, Alabama (Ticker) -- Vanderbilt can only hope Shan Foster did not exhaust himself for the postseason with his last effort.
The 16th-ranked Commodores complete their Southeastern Conference regular-season schedule on Saturday against Alabama.
A senior swingman, Foster rebounded from six consecutive misses from the arc to hit nine straight 3-pointers - the last coming in the final seconds of overtime - and score a career-high 42 points, giving Vanderbilt (25-5, 10-5 SEC) an 86-85 victory over Mississippi State on Wednesday.
The conference's leading scorer at 20.6 points per game, Foster tied the school mark for most points in a game with the performance.
The win was the Commodores' 25th of the season, matching the team record set in 1992-93.
The Crimson Tide (15-15, 4-11) hope to conclude their disappointing season on a positive note after failing to notch a single road win in conference play. They suffered an 80-74 loss at Louisiana State on Wednesday despite having junior forward Richard Hendrix record 16 points and 13 rebounds for his 15th double-double of the season.
While they have struggled on the road, the Crimson Tide have won four of their last five SEC home games, including their last three.
