Vandy hosting Southern Miss thread

[MrMemorial]

And just a reminder...they upset us at home in the NIT quarterfinal in 1987 (?) and went on to NYC and won the whole thing. We probably would have won it all otherwise.

otherwise...

VU is favored by 16.5 tonight...total points predicted is a moderate 135.5 that would be around a 75 to 58 kind of final score more or less. Jason can correct me on that if it's not 110% accurate.

SoMiss went 7-26 least season (no bryce drew jokes needed). They already have two (sort of) wins this season over a D-2 opponent and an NAIA (?) school.

Austin Crowley...yep, him... is far and away their best player. But BethAnn Rhozhaski was good too.

But that's a different story for a different day.

Interesting starting lineup

[dcdore]

And less than inspiring start.

[Nashmann]

Why is our 7-foot center taking all the outside shots? Go UNDER the basket and play back to the basket!!! WAKE up Jordan!!

[Nashmann]

Still lacking some outside shooters(that actually make them).

[Nashmann]

We are giving way too many layups and put backs......we are jacking up too many brick 3's

[Vandy187187]

Wow what a dud of a first half. Two home games to start the year and we've obviously not figured out how to score.

[MrMemorial]

A big problem is that the roles don't seem defined on offense.

Stute and Wright should be options 1a and 1b on offense. But without defined roles, offense is catch as catch can... or can't. This better be 100% better in the second half unless we want a really bad home loss this early in the season.

[Nashmann]

TERRIBLE shooting night. This is gonna bite us in the ass all season. NO real shooters plain & simple. Wright looks and plays like he is asleep. He looks depressed.....unhappy and going through the motions. No energy or excitement. Robbins GO INSIDE and stop taking 3's....you are 0-fer!!

I like Smith and Dia....Shelby throwing up bricks. Folks not moving/cutting without the ball.

Defense giving up too many layups! Not boxing out or covering the weak side!

[Nashmann]

Wright has a more determined look in his eyes. Looks like he woke up. Gotta play D guys!

[Go Vandy!]

'Bout time!

[geeznotagain]

Liam has regressed. Is he still injured? He is terrible.

[Nashmann]

Getting out coached so far..... we are playing horribly!! NO movement without the ball. No screens...no back doors for us. I thought Stack was a big defensive coach??? We have no idea who to cover.

[Vandy187187]

We are so bad.

[dcdore]

We are so bad.

yep

[Vandy187187]

Stack is going to have to run some sets at some point. Pick and roll is not for this team. We need to move and screen and move and motion. DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT

[Nashmann]

3-19 from 3pointers. Great shooting guys!!

[wbl]

Can’t hit the three at all…

[Nashmann]

Can't hit much of anything....even free throws...and layups!

[Vandy187187]

48 points? this is like high school basketball
