I haven’t had a positive sustained happy experience with Vanderbilt basketball since the Vanderbilt vs Southern Cal game with Darius Garland. After that game IIRC he sustained the injury in the following game. It has been downhill from there. I’m just enjoying this win streak and it is a feeling I haven’t had in many many years. Will we make the NCAAs? Who know but just enjoying the streak.

Our SEC record with neither Manjon nor Robbins starting: 3-6 (Robbins was hurt for a portion of the time obviously)
Our SEC record with Manjon and Robbins both starting: 5-0
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

(in baseball, ha!)

Mississippi State baseball was ahead of VMI 10-1 and lost 14-13 yesterday

Well done

I’m sure a lot of you already know about Ken Massey’s site, which collects a lot of the statistical MBB ratings systems. If you don’t here it is: https://masseyratings.com/cb/compare.htm

I find it hard to follow on a tablet or phone and recommend a laptop or desktop. I’ve actually found it easiest to download the .csv, convert to excel, and pin the labels. It only takes a second and saves minutes.

Edit: I forgot to point out that he provides a mean, trimmed mean, median, and standard deviation. Obviously, usually gets bigger as the rankings move away from the top 10.

This is the official game thread.

which isn't great because that tracks pretty closely with the NET, and Vanderbilt was 89 in KenPom coming into today and 91 in the NET.

If you're looking for an explanation:
- It's one game out of 27.
- It was at home.
- It came by two points and margin of victory matters.

NOW... I do think wins and losses matter more than NET rankings but they're also not going to give an at-large to a team in the 80s.

We win at baseball and basketball, and UT loses at both.

What say you sir?

The Vandyboys win against a ranked opponent and we buzzer beat Auburn at Memorial. Meanwhile, the hardwood Voles get hammered by Kentucky, and the diamond Voles lose to Grand Canyon !😂😂😂

Vanderbilt will host four-star guard Travis Perry on an unofficial visit for tonight’s game.

$25 in 3F/3L, $30 in 2F/2L

Bought 3 in 2L for just over $100 after fees.

Solid day all the way around.

Do the Vols miss those juiced bats?

Are we breaking into the 80’s now?

This sound.

And has great touch from the line. Nice to have a big man who can shoot a high percentage from the line.

A little more joy to cap off a great day for Vandy fans!

Is that we started off with out best players not playing as well offensively as we have started to expect them to. And we still found a way to win. That’s BIG TIME progress.

5 in a row!!!!!!!!!!
