NCAABB

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Vanderbilt was fined $250,000 by the Southeastern Conference on Sunday for allowing fans to storm the court Saturday in celebration of a 76-75 basketball victory over No. 6 Tennessee.

Vanderbilt was penalized for a second offense under the conference’s revised access to competition area policy. The first violation — and a $100,000 fine — came when fans stormed the football field after a 40-35 victory over Alabama in October.

Additional offenses will carry a $500,000 fine.
