Maui Invitational: (24) Vanderbilt 84 - Arizona 72 - Postgame

by KingJamesIV on Nov 26, 2009 2:43 AM EST in Vanderbilt Commodores Basketball

It's late. It's Thanksgiving (officially). Obviously thrilled to come away with a win. I've updated my plus/minus stats for the season and will include them after the break.

A.J. Ogilvy finally played with the quickness and toughness that the Commodore fans had yet to see from him this season. He was clearly the most dominant interior player on the floor. As Stallings mentioned in his postgame interview, Jeffery Taylor and Jermaine Beal did an outstanding job of holding Arizona PG Nic Wise to just 9 total points (and none in the second half). He scored 30 against Colorado the previous night.

There is no telling how many horses Andre Walker sacrificed prior to the start of the game. Ultimate glue guy. I'm going ahead and giving Elmer's a free sponsorship for all his plays this season. I'll come up with a photoshop to celebrate this assuming The Vanderbilt Vendidad doesn't get to it first.

One of the best lines of the young season…

VERY happy to see a brand new Vandy blog out there

A couple of buddies and I run a blog as well, and my thirst for Vanderbilt coverage is hardly ever quenched. Really excited to see y’all joining the fray and can’t wait to follow along.

Not a terrible road trip in the least going 3-1 with big wins over St. Mary’s and Zona. Things to improve on for sure, but this team’s got some talent!

Good Stuff

I echo the horse/Walker line. Classic. Great blog and great post about the ’Zona game. I really like the +/- and look forward to keeping up with it through the season.

Now its time for Missouri!
