Even in the first week of the season, Vanderbilt coach Mark Byington is cognizant of the grind that has started. The No. 24 Commodores will have a likely uptick in competition in their second game when Wake Forest visits Nashville for a Thursday night contest. "I'm sitting here after game one, kind of thinking about how many games we've got left," Byington said. "It's a long season. It is a tremendously long season. So on the journey, the goal is to keep getting better along the way and see where you are at the end of it." Vanderbilt rolled past visiting Bellarmine 93-47 in the season opener Monday night, with four Commodores starters -- led by Tyler Tanner with 20 points -- scoring in double figures.

"I thought he did a really good job of being really aggressive on defense and pushing the pace on offense." For Wake Forest on
