NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Wade Baldwin IV scored 17 points, and the Vanderbilt Commodores routed Tennessee 86-69 Tuesday night for their fourth straight win.

The Commodores (19-11, 11-6) now have won six of seven and remain a loss behind No. 22 Kentucky in the Southeastern Conference standings with a game remaining in the regular season. They also swept the season series with their in-state rival for the first time since 2009-10.

Fined $100,000 by the SEC on Monday for fans rushing the court in Saturday's upset of Kentucky, Vanderbilt surrounded the front of the student section with ushers, security and a couple of top university officials with less than 5 minutes left.

Damian Jones and Jeff Roberson each added 14 points for Vanderbilt. Nolan Cressler had 11.
