NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) When coaching his Vanderbilt players, Jerry Stackhouse likes to use personal experiences to get his point across to his team.

As a successful NBA and college player, Stackhouse draws on his knowledge of what it was like to be on the court playing at a high level. He also tells the Commodores to rely on each other to create a winning environment, especially when your star player has an off night.

On a night when Aaron Nesmith, the Southeastern Conference's leading scorer coming into the game at 23.7 points per game was only able to put up 16, Saben Lee netted a career-high 25 points to lead Vanderbilt to a 90-76 victory over Buffalo on Tuesday night.
