Buyuktuncel started in all 33 of his appearances at Nebraska this past season after transferring from UCLA. He averaged 6.5 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 24.3 minutes per game. The 6-foot-10 power forward shot 46.8% from the field and 24.1% from beyond the arc.
Vanderbilt went 27-9 overall this year, including an 11-7 mark in SEC play. The Commodores then entered March Madness as a No. 5 seed as part of their second trip to the big dance in as many years under Byington’s watch. Prior to his arrival, Vanderbilt had not made the Field of 68 since 2017.
Additionally, Vanderbilt advanced to the SEC tournament championship game this past season. It marked the Commodores’ first trip to the conference title game since 2012, when they took down Kentucky to bring home the trophy. Following the 2025-26 season, Byington received a long-term contract extension, the school announced.
“Enduring excellence starts with the right people, and Mark Byington is integral to what we’re building for the long haul at Vanderbilt,” said Vanderbilt AD Candice Storey Lee in a statement. “Basketball in Memorial Gymnasium is an important part of Vanderbilt’s story as a university. Mark understood that relationship from the beginning and won over Commodore Nation with his selfless spirit and an entertaining style of play that honors our commitment to aim higher and be bolder than ever before. Across athletics, our new era is just getting started, and I look forward to Mark and our men’s basketball team helping to lead the way.”
