Vanderbilt overpowers UMES in coach Mark Byington’s debut

Add to Favorite
Added to Favorite


New Vanderbilt coach Mark Byington won his debut as the host Commodores committed just one turnover in beating Maryland Eastern Shore 102-63 in Nashville, Tenn., on Monday night.

Boston College transfer Devin McGlockton (24 points, 13 rebounds) and Jaylen Carey (13 and 10), who followed Byington from James Madison, notched double-doubles in their Vanderbilt debuts.

McGlockton hit all 10 of his shots from the floor and added a pair of blocks.

Jason Edwards (19 points) and Tyler Nickel (14) also scored in double figures. Edwards handed out five of Vanderbilt’s 18 assists.

It was the Commodores’ first 100-point game since Nov. 27, 2018, a 120-85 win over Savannah State.

UMES’ Ketron “KC” Shaw, who came with new coach Cleo Hill from Winston-Salem State, scored 23 points while Cardell Bailey added 10.

The deeper Commodores pulled away midway through the second half from a UMES team that only dressed nine players.

Chris Manon hit a driving layup with 9:41 left, capping a 9-0 run and giving Vanderbilt its biggest lead to that point at 76-47.

UMES played zone for nearly the entire first half, but Vanderbilt shot much better from 2 (13-of-18) than 3 (4-of-18, 22.2 percent) in building a 45-33 halftime lead.

The Commodores came out playing fast, and it didn’t take long for their first double-digit lead when Carey hit a jumper in the paint to make it 15-5 with 13:55 left in the half.

The Commodores took their first 20-point lead (38-18) when Tyler Tanner picked off a Shaw pass and raced for a fast-break dunk with 5:27 left in the half.

Shaw kept the Hawks in it, hitting a jumper and a layup in the final minute as part of 16 first-half points.

AJ Hoggard, a Michigan State transfer who’ll likely be Vanderbilt’s starting point guard, didn’t play due to a one-game NCAA suspension for playing in the Portsmouth Invitational, a non-certified, pre-draft event in the spring.
