NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)-- Brad Tinsley recorded the first triple-double in school history and Jeffery Taylor scored a career-high 27 points as Vanderbilt rolled to an 88-47 victory over Presbyterian on Friday night in the season opener for both teams.

Tinsley finished with 11 points, plus career highs of 10 assists and 10 rebounds. His pass that set up Rod Odom's 3-pointer with 4:31 left sealed the feat and sent the Vanderbilt bench into a frenzy. Coach Kevin Stallings quickly called a timeout and Tinsley's teammates mauled him at halfcourt.

The game was well in hand by that point as the Commodores opened with six straight baskets and made 10 of their first 12 shots to take a 24-11 lead with 11:47 left in the first half.

Festus Ezeli had a career-high 14 points and John Jenkins added 10 for Vanderbilt. Al'Lonzo Coleman had 17 points and Josh Johnson scored 11 for Presbyterian.
