Vandy game thread

[FlotownDawg]

6-6 at the under 16 minute media timeout

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Our starting lineup has a lot of bad basketball ability

 

[Maroon13]

Someone went Krogering... the bananas have grown to a bunch of 8

 

[FlotownDawg]

Has Shakeel Moore gotten worse, or is it just me?

 

[57stratdawg]

Line was MSU -13.5

This game is close to a must win.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

I don't think I've ever seen a start out this badly this entire seasons, except maybe at Georgia Tech. Nothing seems to be going our way on balls out of bounds are trying to get shots inside

Pressing

This game is a must win. Vandy’s NET ranking is 245. By comparison, Southern’s NET is 176.

 

[SouthFarmchicken]

We look absolutely horrific. Our problem (has been in all SEC games) is defensive rebounding. We don’t block out well.

 

[msugolf]

We’re just not a good basketball team right now in any facet…especially on the offensive end

Our starting lineup has a lot of bad basketball ability

1 scorer in Tolu; 0.5 with Shak. Makes me nauseous. I like the current lineup though, Hubbard, Fort, Jones, Cam, Bell. Rare we have had Hubbard and Fort on the floor at the same time.

 

[57stratdawg]

Seems like Bell is getting some extra minutes. He’s more physical. Maybe Jans sees something.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

For some reason, we cannot get a shooting foul inside.

 

[57stratdawg]

Vandy might not reach 50 points

 

[BirdPuppy]

Vandy post players are scrubs.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

Am I allowed to wonder if he’s better than Tolu?

 

[FlotownDawg]

Bell is more physical, but Tolu has far superior offensive post moves.

 

[FlotownDawg]

Well that’s just not true.

 

[BirdPuppy]

Strange deal with Murphy.

 

[Baddog11]

Tolu has far superior offensive post moves.

Probably a good look for the next level, but we are trying to win games as a team in the SEC.

 

[Rupert Jenkins]

We need to continually push it to Tolu or Bell and keep then rotating and fresh. Vandy has no answer. They don't have an actual center. We should dominate the paint

 

[The Fatboy]

Some of yall are watching a different basketball game from me.

 

[Baddog11]

Seems like they are having more trouble with Cam than anybody

 

[57stratdawg]

Strange deal with Murphy.

Good that he’s there, I guess.

 

[BirdPuppy]

Still don’t like the starting lineup but the rotations are much improved. Fort is a critical piece in this team being better than middle of the pack.

 

[Mr. Cook]

Looks like SRO****+++

Uh, better offensive post moves mean he will score more points in the paint. Bell is like a bull in a China shop. He has limited post moves. Tolu has 10 points and hasn’t missed a shot yet.

 

[Crazy Cotton]

Vandy might not reach 50 points

They might not get 40

 

[ZombieKissinger]

“I can’t believe how awful Vanderbilt is”. Haven’t started reading this thread yet but this is my prediction

 

[Mr. Cook]

Vandy post players are scrubs.

Well, it is a club sport program *******

 

[BirdPuppy]

Better offensively and defensively with Hubb/Fort on the floor over Davis/Shak.

 

[FlotownDawg]

One concern. Tolu has ZERO rebounds. Bell has seven. Tolu has got to get on the boards more.

 

[Rupert Jenkins]

Vandy is pretty awful.

 

[BirdPuppy]

One concern. Tolu has ZERO rebounds. Bell has seven. Tolu has got to get on the boards more.

3 in 3:30 in 2H

 

[BirdPuppy]

Vandy is pretty awful.

Surely you had that accounted for in for your 1-8 call.

 

[Seinfeld]

One concern. Tolu has ZERO rebounds. Bell has seven. Tolu has got to get on the boards more.

Is it just me or do we struggle significantly with bringing rebounds all the way down? It’s like we go up and have the ball in the air, but by the time we come down, the ball goes goes flying

 

[FlotownDawg]

Tolu back to being a terrible free throw shooter. He’s under 50% in his last three games. 11-25 against Bama, UK and so far today.

 

[mdm3045]

It’s not just Tolu. Our entire team can’t hit a freethrow. It’s gotta be a mental thing.

 

[Rupert Jenkins]

Surely you had that accounted for in for your 1-8 call.

Yeah, that was my one. Thank goodness we won the first half handily

 

[FlotownDawg]

Teams are just going to start grabbing Tolu as soon as he gets position down low and force him to make free throws. He shoots them worse than Shaq.

 

[WilCoDawg]

I’m sitting in amazement of how many simple, easy shots AT THE BASKET we have the ability to miss.
