I'll be working and miss most of this one,

but go ’Dores!

And please, AJ and Dolla, show up this time. Your days of disappearing against UT are over.

Tough Luck

We’ll be in here if you catch a few breaks…though if you’re like me, you won’t want to know the score until you watch the replay on the ol’ DVR.

Crap

AJ’s got a foul already. Bring in Fes.

AJ Turnover

that really belongs to Brad.

is Tinsley a freshman?

he’s a local kid isn’t he?

by golfballs03 on Jan 27, 2010 7:11 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Sophomore

and he’s from Oregon.

I think you’re thinking of John Jenkins. He’s from the Hendersonville area of Nashville

by KingJamesIV on Jan 27, 2010 7:12 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

oh right

they were both sought after recruits weren’t they?

by golfballs03 on Jan 27, 2010 7:14 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Yes

Brad originally committed to Pepperdine, but they fired their coach. He wanted to go to UNC, they didn’t offer, so he chose Vandy over Oregon and Wake Forest (if I recall correctly)

by KingJamesIV on Jan 27, 2010 7:16 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Foul on Prince

not a great decision by B-Tins on the drive, but I’ll take the bailout by the ref.

by KingJamesIV on Jan 27, 2010 7:14 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Playing well

but I think most commodore fans think there’s room for improvement.

I stand corrected.

rebounding

We’ve got to start getting some offensive rebounds…

by doredarling on Jan 27, 2010 7:40 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

doing better now. kind of.

It's been a really weird game

No flow to it, really. AJ has been absent as usual vs. the Vols.

by VolnVA on Jan 27, 2010 7:46 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

AJ

he’s been absent in the first half of most of our games…

by KingJamesIV on Jan 27, 2010 7:47 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

The lack of flow is really bugging me…but it might be good for us.

by doredarling on Jan 27, 2010 7:48 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I don't know...

I think VU is more athletic and fluid than the Vols in their current state…

J.P. Prince

He always has big games against us…and this appears to be no exception.

by doredarling on Jan 27, 2010 7:50 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Our second half team...

…needs to come out strong. AJ will be back, and I hope it doesn’t take too long for him to get going.

by doredarling on Jan 27, 2010 7:53 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Not sure how I feel about the quick whistles

Benefitted us so far…but I’m not sure that stays that way on the road

by KingJamesIV on Jan 27, 2010 8:10 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Jeff big board

and he picks up the 4th on Hopson

by KingJamesIV on Jan 27, 2010 8:12 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

The consolation there is that they aren’t shooting much better at the charity stripe.

by doredarling on Jan 27, 2010 8:13 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

The stars are aligned right now

Can the ’Dores take advantage?

JP is done with 2 stupid plays. Such is the enigma of JP Prince…

if the announcers realize that yet or not

playing horribly. Pull him.

Worst officiated game ever

Tennessee and Vanderbilt fans might be able to make peace over this common enemy.

...Officiating So Awful

100+ years of rivalry came to an end.

by KingJamesIV on Jan 27, 2010 8:34 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Just a really weird, choppy, ugly game

I think all the foul calls are working against Vandy right now. The lack of flow is preventing them from running offense like the 2nd half against Auburn.

by VolnVA on Jan 27, 2010 8:34 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

I could swear

You may be the most pro-Vandy UT fan (during a Vandy-UT game) I’ve ever met. Is it cause you’re living in Virginia?

by KingJamesIV on Jan 27, 2010 8:35 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

It's the Vanderbilt degree hanging on my wall

Knoxville kid, Vandy grab, hence the split loyalties…

Hopefully they will forgive me the terrible typo…

I just don't see how VU won't win this game

They are better than this UT team, especially with the foul problems.

You're right

and I hope you’re right on the prediction.

Coaching Staff

thinks Festus will settle in at a 65% clip from here on out. Obviously factoring in his earlier misses, his average won’t get that high…

by KingJamesIV on Jan 27, 2010 9:03 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Not a great time to foul

with 5 seconds on the shot clock. Hopson fouls out.

I thought VU would win

And they did. As a VU grad, I’m excited about the possibilities. As a UT fan, I’m nervous about what the last 2 games signal for the remainder of the season.

Awesome win

Game wasn’t on in Atlanta, so can’t wait to read the write ups.

Congrats guys

You guys came out and took it to us in the 2nd half. You were definitely the better team. Hopefully we can repay you in a couple weeks.

It's simple Cubs in the spring and summer, Vols in the fall and winter.

I’m so happy to see that we can get it done on the road…that’s huge! Now we’ll just have to keep it up on Saturday…then we’ll have most of our tough opponents at home. What a night to be a Commodore fan!

Can't ever remember...

…any team that corrects in the second half better than this.

If this happens again Saturday night…this could be a really, really special year.

Nice win. Anyone see the commercial for the VU/UK game Saturday featuring Jeff Taylor? Hoooo boy, gonna start drinking early for that one.

by Train Island on Jan 27, 2010 10:28 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

OK

to be honest, I thought Vandy was ok tonight. I think they have potential to be better. They probably could have won by more, but I thought Tennessee looked pretty bad. What are your thoughts?

by golfballs03 on Jan 27, 2010 10:40 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Agreed.

Tennessee really, really needs Hopson to start asserting himself more (especially while Chism is out). For a stretch it looked like he might do that all season long. If he can be a little more consistent, I like Pearl’s chances of righting the ship.

Vandy didn’t play their best by any stretch. A lot of that had to do with UT. Both teams seemed really psyched up and I think that worked to their disadvantages.

Also, the refs were way too whistle happy in my opinion, and that obviously worked to Vandy’s advantage…though that has tended to be the case for us all season due to being aggressive on offense and in the interior.

by KingJamesIV on Jan 27, 2010 10:48 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

interesting you say that

according to Ken Pomeroy (http://kenpom.com/expsked.php?team=Vanderbilt) there is a positive correlation between the # of free throws that opponents shoot to Vanderbilt’s offensive efficiency. Kind of counter-intuitive, huh?
