NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Shan Foster scored 20 points and A.J. Ogilvy added 19 points and 12 rebounds as No. 24 Vanderbilt handed the NCAA’s winningest team one of its worst losses in decades, by beating Kentucky 93-52 on Tuesday night.

The Commodores (21-4, 6-4 Southeastern Conference) started a four-game homestand by winning their fourth straight. The only SEC team to open league play with six of their first nine away from home had lost 79-73 in double-overtime at Kentucky on Jan. 12.

They more than got their revenge before a sold-out crowd.

It was the worse loss for Kentucky (12-10, 6-3) since losing by 55 to Kansas on Dec. 9, 1989. Making it sweeter for Vandy, this 41-point margin matched a 52-11 loss to Rose Polytechnic on Feb. 10, 1910, as the fifth-biggest loss in Wildcats’ history.

Kentucky native Ross Neltner added 15 points for Vanderbilt, and Jermaine Beal had 10.

Ramel Bradley scored 18 of his 21 points in the second half for Kentucky, Joe Crawford had 11 and Patrick Patterson 10.
