but Vandy isn't Arizona or Minnesota.


but Vandy has that kooky fricking gym. Ya they lost 3 games, but they were all better than you'd expect (I'm using KenPom. Suck it bigbigrd )

Despite Vandy being #74, they outplayed expectations in those losses to "better teams"

OT L v #46 USC
5pt L v #39 Kansas State
3pt L v #61 MTSU which they should have won


quote:

But here is the funny thing: we hold opponents to 31% from behind the arc so far this season


Bama has only played 2 teams in the top 100 in 3FG% and 6 teams about 200+ 3FG%. It isn't like teams are just torching Bama by the 3, but you haven't played anyone who can shoot it though

This isn't the typical Vandy team though that shoots from all 5 positions. Their dangerous shooters are all spot up shooters and there are only 2-3 of them really

If you can hinder Vandy's ball movement and skip passes you should be fine

I've been following Bama hoops since CM Newton was coach.

We ALWAYS suck @Vandy.

I'm completely convinced if you put Golden State in Bama uniforms and they played Vandy at their place, Vandy would win by double digits.

If we win tonight, book those San Antonio hotel rooms and hit up T-bird for some local restaurant recommendations.

Does Vandy have a 6'10" white guy that can shoot 3's all night?

LOLOLOL I seriously have ZERO expectation of winning tonight. Combine coming off what we all nervously hope is a season turn around type win, playing at Vandy, the football result last night...............

Losing 13-4 early and 37-22 at the half and shooting 37% for the game almost feels like it has already happened. I can see the scoreboard cryon now along with all those stupid fvckin nerds sitting below the court.

I was watching them play UF and for most of the game they had a 6'6" guy playing center (Robertson, maybe?). I think our size could cause them a lot of problems, not just in the paint.

ETA: has anyone noticed the line? It's made a 4 point swing to Vandy's favor.

Blake Lovell picked Miss St over Arky.
I think A&M could beat Florida but A&M is still without 2-3 players so I doubt it

Bad matchup. We haven't covered the 3 point line well once all season. And of course they won't miss anything despite sucking most of the season

Fading Bama basketball after we win a game would probably make you some serious dough.
