<p>He had been the only Commodore to start every game this season for coach Jerry Stackhouse. Pippen, son of six-time NBA champ Scottie Pippen, leads Vanderbilt with 20.5 points a game and is second in the SEC averaging five assists.</p>
<p>Injuries also kept forward Clevon Brown and sophomore forward Dylan Disu out of this game. Disu was named the SEC player of the week after putting up back-to-back double-doubles last week, and he leads the SEC in rebounding averaging 9.2 boards per game. </p>
<p>Pippen has tied or matched his career-high in scoring five times this season with a best of 32 at Florida. </p>
<p>Vanderbilt (6-12, 2-10) has lost two straight, with the Commodores’ last five losses all by seven points or fewer. </p>
