Moussa Cisse posted nine points (3-3 FG, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and one steal across 19 minutes during Saturday’s 69-56 win over Vanderbilt. Cisse made all three of his field goal attempts during Saturday’s win over Vanderbilt. The senior missed just one shot that occurred at the free-throw line which was the only miss he had all game.
