Yeah they’re normally a tough out at Memorial anyway. They might be legit legit this year.I was at that gane. They added some Div 1 transfers. Tyler Nickel from Virginia Tech is a lights out shooter.
Vandy's rise reminds me of Florida's last year.
Florida didn't start as one of the favorites but put themselves into the discussion by crushing every opponent in the nonconference and carrying that vigor into conference play.
Just hired a new football coach, and we need to wait and see on pope instead of being band wagon fans. Some fans still haven't got on board since pope was announced last year.We can’t even be good in one sport, much leas two. And Vandy has baseball too.
It’s getting really hard to give a crap about anything UK these days when the rest of the SEC is blasting past us. We might seriously be the bottom of the bottom of the whole league. We aren’t even good at basketball anymore.
This.I’ll reserve judgement on how good they are until they play their first ranked team. They are taking care of business like they should, but they haven’t exactly played a murderers row of a schedule.
False. Kentucky will be a lot better in basketball now that they're healthier, and football will be a lot better product soon under Stein.Vandy is on the rise in men’s athletics while we continue our slide.
We have had a weird schedule, devoid of top 25 opponents, but 6 pretty good tests (current KenPom rankings) :
-At UCF (44) - VU by 12
-Neutral - VCU (41) - VU by 15
-Neutral - St. Mary’s (33) - VU by 25
-SMU (42) - VU by 19
-At Memphis (73) - VU by 7 in OT
-At Wake (61) - VU by 31
So while we haven’t beaten any great teams, we have pretty much BTA most teams we’ve played. I think we have a pretty high ceiling with this group but we need to be tested more.
Really looking forward to playing UK, Florida, Bama, UTjr, and Arky in particular. I think we will know where we stand through SEC play.
Tyler Tanner and Duke Miles as a backcourt tandem is pretty special. They compliment each other well and both get after it on defense, they’re a fun watch. Tyler Nickel is becoming a threat as well.
This.
Their best wins come from 2 teams ranked #62 and #71 in Kenpom.
I’m sure a lot of these same people threw shade at Florida last year before conference as well. Trust me — no one wants to see Vandy with the versatility, shooting and playmaking at every position.see here^^
This just isn’t the case. See above but Vandy beat:
#33 St Mary’s (neutral) by 25 points
#41 VCU by 15 (neutral)
#42 SMU by 19
#44 UCF (road) by 12
I doubt that changes your mind as you have probably committed to your opinion, but Vandy is pretty good this year for sure.
