Vanderbilt lost to Wichita State 70-50 in the First Four Round of the 2016 NCAA Tournament at UD Arena Dayton, OH.

After going into halftime tied 30-30, Vanderbilt was outscored 40-20 in the second half in part due to the Shockers’ stifling defense. Wichita State held the Commodores to just 24.1 percent shooting from the field in the second half, including 11.1 percent from beyond the arc.

“They were able to make shots, and we weren’t,” Stallings said. “We shoot poorly from two, we shoot poorly from three, we shoot poorly from the foul line. Typically, we’re a pretty good shooting team… but we’re not going to win many games when we don’t get a little more production…
