Statistical Breakdown

 

These are based on probable lineups and 2009-2010 season statistics. As you can see, a few of the Presbyterian players do not have statistics from last season. At the bottom, the Kenpom numbers are from 09-10 as well. This is probably all an exercise in futility, seeing as there's been some turnover on both rosters.

Four Factors: Vanderbilt should have the edge in all four factors. Prediction: VU wins all four.

Tipoff is scheduled for 19.00 CT and the game will not be televised, though it appears All-Access will carry the live video stream. Our open gamethread will go live about an hour before tipoff. Also, don't forget to head over to Stat-King to submit your predictions for the game.

Presbyterian is better than we think.

The redshirted three juniors last year, in an effort to have a better team this year. As a result, their young guys got a lot of experience (losing) last year, which will give them a better idea of what it will take.

If we’re expecting to roll over a 5-win team, we may be in for a rude awakening. They’re better than that.

But, if we’re motivated to go out there and play shut-down defense, give max effort, then we should win by 20+ without too much sweating in the second half.

Coleman and Johnson

Both redshirted last season, in their true junior seasons and return as redshirt juniors. This unusual move was made to allow them a chance to play for tournament bids given the recent transition to Div I by Presbyterian. So though they do not have any stats from last season, they are likely going to be their two best players.

But even considering this, we should win pretty easily.

What he said.

The only reason I knew any of that was because Jason did the research and posted it on VM.

video stream

So whats the deal with the all-access video stream? Is it the jumbotron feed or real video with commentary? Anyone know?

Video

I would assume the jumbotron feed, synched with Joe & Tim. But, I don’t know that for sure, and won’t find out unless someone tells me …
