Wednesday's game versus Mississippi State was the last home game for Vanderbilt's men's basketball team and the last time senior Shan Foster would play in Memorial Gym.

Foster, Vanderbilt's all-time leading scorer, had a career-high 42 points and hit his final nine 3-point attempts, the last with 2.7 seconds left in overtime, to help the 16th-ranked Commodores to an 86-85 victory over No. 25 Mississippi State on Wednesday night.

The Senior Night victory allowed Vanderbilt (25-5, 10-5) to finish unbeaten at home this season and kept alive its chances at a first-round bye in the Southeastern Conference tournament next week in Atlanta.
