Devin McGlockton scored 14 points with 19 rebounds and four blocked shots as Vanderbilt defeated Southeast Missouri State 85-76 at Nashville, Tenn., on Sunday afternoon.
Jason Edwards scored 17 points, while AJ Hoggard and Tyler Nickel each scored 11 for the Commodores (2-0).
Vanderbilt won despite shooting 12.0 percent on 25 attempts from 3-point range but had just nine turnovers and won the rebounding battle 53-32, while making 78.0 percent of its 41 free throws.
McGlockton, a transfer from Boston College, recorded his second double-double in as many games.
BJ Ward scored 22 points, Teddy Washington Jr. had 19 and TJ Biel added 12 for the Redhawks (0-2), who hit 48.0 percent of their 25 shots from 3-point range.
Southeast Missouri State went 8 of 13 (61.5 percent) from the free-throw line.
It was the Redhawks' 36th-straight loss against a power-conference team.
The game was the Vanderbilt debut for Hoggard, who returned from an NCAA suspension in his first game after transferring from Michigan State.
Nickel canned his second 3-pointer of the second half with 16:10 left, giving the Commodores their first double-figure lead at 56-45.
Southeast Missouri State continued to hit wide-open 3s, with Washington making one with 8:00 left, that cut the margin to 70-65.
But the fouls began to pile up on the Redhawks. Washington picked up his fourth as part of a double-technical with Hoggard, while starter Troy Cole Jr. fouled out with 3:57 left.
Ward checked out with 6:06 left with the training staff attending to the area around his knee before checking back in with 3:35 left and the Redhawks trailing 78-70. They never got closer from there.
Ward had 14 points at half, as the Redhawks made seven 3-pointers compared to one on 13 attempts for Vanderbilt.
But Vanderbilt had a 40-38 edge at half thanks to 14 offensive rebounds and a 15 of 22 showing from the foul line.
The Redhawks led 16-6 early but Hoggard, who checked in at the 16:25 mark of the first half, keyed a 17-4 run that gave Vanderbilt its first lead.
