Vanderbilt 83, SE Missouri State 65: A win is a win is a win

Tennessean: Vandy beats SEMO in Jerry Stackhouse’s debut

The easy answer to Vanderbilt’s opening-night performance against the Southeast Missouri State RedHawks: It was a win. It was a win over an actual basketball team, the first time since New Year’s Eve of last year that Vanderbilt has won a basketball game. It was also the first game of the season, for a team that was very bad to end the 2018-19 season and then had to go replace four of its top six players (five of its top seven if you count Darius Garland, but then Garland was gone long before all the losing started.
