Well done students. Haven’t seen this in decades.
Would be nice to see one later in the game since upper decks are not showing people there. I think I could see them on the tv though.

as recently as last year, sloppy passing led to frequent unforced turnovers, but they are few and far between this year. the stackhouse staff has obviously focused on that aspect of the game….and it’s one reason why we are winning again. next up…rebounding (maybe stack will bring rodman in to consult??).

Did Dia play at all tonight? I thought he would come in to give QMB a break, but it was Ansong tonight.

Dia played three minutes. Had a two-point basket. Pretty tough under the defensive glass. He will have more practice time this week before Thursday. Go Vandy!

maybe upper decks full again some day?? then memorial can really rock....and with less of the opponent's fans in the stands would be nice.

I wonder whether VU had ever been out rebounded by a margin as wide as last night's game (45 to 24) and won.
