COL BKB: Western Ky. 76, Vanderbilt 69

NASHVILLE (UPI) -- A.J. Slaughter paced Western Kentucky with 27 points Friday and the Hilltoppers held on down the stretch to defeat No. 24 Vanderbilt 76-69.

Slaughter hit a 3-point shot 3:20 into the second half to give Western Kentucky the lead for good at 45-42, but the Hilltoppers led by no more than five until Slaughter made two free throws with 12 seconds left.

The game was part of a double header, the first of which was won by Tennessee over Middle Tennessee 75-54.

Sergio Kerush added 15 points for Western Kentucky (5-3) and Jeremy Evans had 12. Vanderbilt (6-3) was paced by Jeffery Taylor with 21.
