Vanderbilt tops No. 8 North Carolina 72-65-Tops

By The Associated Press
uzz up!       SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) - John Jenkins scored 16 points, and Festus Ezeli and Jeffery Taylor each had 15 to lead Vanderbilt to a 72-65 win over reeling No. 8 North Carolina 72-65 on Sunday night in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off tournament.

      The Commodores (3-1) beat a top-10 team for the first time since knocking off No. 1 Tennessee on Feb. 26, 2008.
      The few hundred Vanderbilt fans who made the trip to Puerto Rico serenaded the Tar Heels (2-2) with chants of "Overrated!" For this year's Tar Heels, they might be right.
      Coach Roy Williams insisted after losing to Minnesota on Friday that he didn't think anymore about last year's 17-loss debacle. He'll be forced to answer more questions now about what's wrong with the slumping Tar Heels.
      Tyler Zeller had 20 points and 10 rebounds for North Carolina. Harrison Barnes rebounded from a bad performance to score 11.
