Vanderbilt women’s basketball team bounced back from a double-digit losses Thursday night with a double-digit win of its own against Texas A&M.

The Aggies (10-17, 3-12 SEC) headed home with a 91-58 loss to the Commodores (20-9, 7-8 SEC). Combine that Vanderbilt win with Mississippi State losing to No. 1 Texas by only four points, puts the Commodores in position for a favorable first-round matchup in next week’s SEC Tournament.

Texas A&M can take some pride in being one of the few teams to hold freshman sensation Mikayla Blakes to fewer than 20 points. Kjamil Pierre led Vanderbilt’s offense with 31 points, six rebounds, five assists and nine steals. Blakes had 18 points, three rebounds, five assists and four steals. Justine Prescott led Vanderbilt’s bench with 14 points.

Vanderbilt will wrap up its regular season schedule with a road trip to Missouri. Tipoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. on SEC Network+.
