Great comeback

Philon trying to answer CNO challenge bringing the team over for the post game interview. Hope he sustains it.

Bethea reminds me of Quinerly in some respects. Has talent but has to figure some things out. Q got better with experience in the system.

Did not see but a few early minutes. FT shooting was good and TO's was 5. Those two alone probably helped in the come back. Sherrill had 22 points. Great game it appears. Williamson with 0. I assume Bol was out hurt or sick?

4 of the 5 starters had double digit points. Yahoo.

We pretty much played the entire game with only 3 TO (2 were in garbage time).
Really encouraging that, last night at least, we seemed committed to the defensive glass.

We're hard to stop running out if we can actually secure rebounds.

Miss St is probably a good match up for us though since they simply didn't have anyone who could stop Philon (or Holloway, Amari) from getting wherever they wanted.

Vandy is a poor rebounding team and that is going to doom them. We outrebounded Vandy by double digits on their home court and Aiden Sherrell didn't play and we are a pretty average rebounding club considering how fast we play.. Texas nearly doubled them up in rebounds. They remind me a lot of Bama. They have some really nice skill players that can outscore a lot of pretty good teams. But if you put them against a skilled hardnosed front line they are probably going to struggle.
