Interesting you mention that. I've been watching a lot of sci-fi lately trying to figure out this portal thing and the best I can tell it has something to do with Star Wars, Star Trek or Stargate SG-1.

Who's next? Mr Commodore?

I've decided to embrace the transfer portal. Vandy should have say $83.6K of NIL cap space available to sign what's his name - the Junior out of Toledo averaging 9.6 pts per game (made it up in case you couldn't tell) and sponsored by Dr. Pepper but I hear he is also considering Oscar Meyer hotdogs ...

Yeah, not sure why he went after him so aggressively in that situation. I'm just floored with the last 4 standing as I can't imagine why I'd watch any of those games. If I lived in South Florida, I'd be pulling for Miami/FAU but I don't so I couldn't care less.

As LawOfTheWest points out above, we're never going back. The toothpaste is out of the tube. And I think this is best for student-athletes. That should be the end of sentiment IMHO. It should be 100% about the student-athlete with the fans and businesses as an afterthought but alas we live in a lan...

Ditto. (out of respect for the late Rush Limbaugh)

Can we at least make it through the season to start speculating on the departures? Unless, of course there is reason to believe that someone else is going to go the Stute path and leave the program before the next game.

I hate when there's an article on xCBD as about 20 people have to comment on the clapping. I enjoy a good Chris Young is transferring joke as that is timeless but perhaps it's time to put the XCBD clapping thing to bed.

Perhaps Stute and Stackhouse let Stute wager next year's scholarship on a hit or miss from 3. Well, we know how that's gone for the last month. Ok, cheap shot but do wish him well as he did some good things for this program.

Your NIT 2 seeds, everyone: Michigan: Quad 1 (2-12); Quad 2 (6-2); 1 Q4 loss Liberty (HA!): Quad 1 (0-3); Quad 2 (1-2); 3 Q3 losses Sam Houston: Quad 1 (1-3); Quad 2 (1-1); 2 Q3/1 Q4 losses Colorado: Quad 1 (3-7); Quad 2 (4-4); 3 Q3/2 Q4 losses VU racked up 5 Q1 wins and 5 Q2 wins. 11 Q1 losses and...

Probably a #2 seed so matching up to someone like Youngstown St. or Alcorn St in a winnable matchup at home. Very eager to see how inspired they are to win this thing. Sometimes it takes just winning the first game to build that momentum again. Hopefully these young guys get at least 2 or 3 more gam...

That is BS. It isn't like we lost 6 games to a bunch of top 10 teams and that our schedule was completely loaded. We lost games to two bad teams on our home court, and then played poorly against two more bad teams in Wofford and Alabama A&M. We had tough games against (seed in parenthasis) Memp...

So, for the sake of the precious NET, we need to play inferior opponents in the pre-conference and run the score up on them, and then go 8-10 in the conference, lose our first SEC tournament game, have a record of 20-11 and be sitting pretty on Selection Sunday. Sounds like a plan to me! No, we nee...

Pretty ambitious thinking VU can go from Next 4 out to an 8 or 9 seed. Who knows thought as none of this makes sense and it ends up as old guys in a room making these decisions. If the SEC gets 8, then Vandy absolutely should get a bid (likely as an 11 seed). Otherwise, a 1 or 2 seed in the NIT isn'...

At this point, I believe the SEC teams can be tiered as follows: No brainers 1. Alabama 2. Texas A&M. 3. Missouri. Seem to be locks but fading fast 4. Tennessee 5. Kentucky The rest of the At-Large contenders (in order) 6. Vandy 7. Arkansas 8. Auburn 9. Miss State 10. Florida It seems Vandy is r...

Honestly, I think Arkansas should be the target. They have gone so far as to suggest pulling for Kentucky should Vandy get the W tonight.

If you think Lunardi is a joke, what about KenPom? 6 out of 14 SEC schools are in the Top 26 #3. Alabama. #5. UT #19. Arkansas #21. Kentucky #24. A&M #26. Auburn Vandy is currently #81 - 10th in the SEC. I mean Florida, a team Vandy beat twice by a combined 24 point margin is currently 22 spots ...

I wish they would just take the humans out of it altogether and open source the formulas so you could track the teams all year and would know all of the at-large teams in the order they are ranked. You would even be able to propose improvements by a pull request process. It seems the best of all wor...

I have to admit that I am shocked but excited how VU has turned this season around and made themselves part of a legitimate conversation about an NCAA bid. I think the 2 wins in the SEC-T sounds like the most likely path to get into the tournament but wondering if they lose any points with the commi...
