Vanderbilt basketball pulled out a much-needed win against UNC Greensboro on Tuesday.

The Commodores (2-1) are still trying to overcome a season-opening loss to Presbyterian and must avoid any other losses to low-major opponents. The next of those opponents is Central Arkansas (1-2) on Friday at Memorial Gymnasium. The Bears have yet to win a game against a Division I opponent after losing to Tulsa and Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

Vanderbilt is likely to still be without Tyrin Lawrence, Ven-Allen Lubin and Lee Dort for the game. Jerry Stackhouse said Tuesday that the trio was likely to remain out until the team’s Thanksgiving tournament in Las Vegas. The game against the Bears will serve as the team’s final tune-up before that tournament.
