Vanderbilt came into the game 20-0, which was the best start in program history, and the Commodores were one of the last two undefeated teams remaining in women's college basketball. The only one still standing is No. 1 UConn, the reigning national champions.

The 11 AM tipoff and the threat of winter weather did nothing to restrain Vanderbilt in Saturday’s visit to Starkville, Mississippi, as the Commodores snapped a three-game losing streak by beating Mississippi State 88-56.
