Admittedly, I haven't followed basketball as closely this year (basically impossible to find a Vandy game on TV and very difficult to get 1510 out of Nashville all the way in Auburn), but I have been pleasantly surprised by the team. With Kedren's suspension and Bright signing to play in Germany, I expected nothing from this year. However, whatever little glimmer of a hail mary chance at the NCAA tournament existed gets that much smaller without Josh Henderson.
A win over SLU would be rather impressive though. We do tend to find a way to win in Memorial, even if lately the Magic hasn't been as prevalent. It does have to overcome Stalling's senility. Rod is shooting fairly well, and Fuller isn't throwing the ball away every trip down court. Learning to hit a free throw once in a while would have got us the win over Providence (game may have caused a slight bit of road rage as I drove back to Nashville) and could have gotten us past Texas.
All in all, the team is still coming together. They don't have the pure talent that UK has that makes the gelling process smoother. Vandy's players also don't have Calipari to guide them. Stallings does not know how to coach a team without star players (or multiple of them), and this team just does not have that. There is no player, or group of players, on the squad capable of just taking a game over like he's had in the past with Shan Foster, Derrick Byars, John Jenkins, or Jeffery Taylor. Stallings is holding this team back, but that SEC tournament championship will keep him around (that and him becoming Vandy's all-time winningest coach recently) sadly.
Speaking of the Jenkins, Taylor, Ezili, Goulbourne, and Tinsley team, how the hell do you only get to your second game of the NCAA tournament with 2 first rounder draft picks and the first pick of the second round?! What kind of shitty voodoo magic coaching do you have to do in order to curse that bunch? Tinsley leads the SEC in assists per game, I believe. Goulbourne was a rebounding machine. Taylor was the best defender in the league and one of the best in the country along with being a terrific finisher. Jenkins was lights out from anywhere within half court. Ezili was a beast inside on his night. How?! Oh, right, you make mass subs at the most critical times to take the hot hand off the floor before it cools. STUPID! /endrant
TL;DR
Solid young team hampered by a coach losing his touch. Josh Henderson injury likely locks them out of NCAA tournament. Still chances for impressive wins though. Oh, and a mini-rant against Stallings.
