    Interesting candidate, but how realistic?

    Basketball Cal vs Shack + interesting body language

    I’m no calipari fan, never have really liked him, but watching him coaching his team hard while they were up 20 last night, only to look over at shack sitting down with nothing to say was deflating. He didn’t shake Cal’s hand after the game I don’t believe and he and CSL just kind of walked by...

    Basketball Blessing in disguise

    Missing the tourney last year will hopefully end up being the best thing that has happened to our MBB program. Can’t wait for the coaching search.

    Basketball Pivot point

    I think it was six years ago now we were playing Arizona State in perhaps our 4th or 5th game after losing Darius Garland, and they came into Memorial ranked. We whipped them good, and I thought, "We are going to be OK." And we didn't win another game. And things haven't been great since that...

    Toppin to the Draft

    “It has been a memorable time for me, and Kentucky will forever hold a special place in my heart. I've loved my time here, but I'm ready to finally fulfill my lifelong dream of playing in the NBA. With that being said I will be entering my name into the 2023 NBA Draft. Go Big Blue!"

    “Mass Exodus”

    Rumors of a “mass exodus“ are floating around. I haven’t understood it since I first read it. Can someone tell me where exactly it is coming from? Last season was no surprise: with the incoming class, only Mann was likely to stay in the rotation, and he said he wasn’t happy being played out of...

    Current Player Efficiency Rating and Win Share for the Vandy MBB Team

    Here’s the Wikipedia article on PER, which explains it far better than I can. I generally think the scale is a little lower for college than NBA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Player_efficiency_rating Here’s an explanation of Win Share: https://www.basketball-reference.com/about/ws.html...

    I know next to nothing about Anchor of Gold, but Stack blocked them. Pretty unprofessional.

    Vandy KenPom and League Transfers/Decommits

    I will admit before I start that I am primarily a basketball fan. I will always root for the Dores, but I don’t watch much baseball, and I watch no football. With that out of the way, KenPom ranked the basketball team this year at 64. KenPom ranks the basketball team at 58 overall—the...

    Basketball Castleton Injury

    @Chris Lee / @Sam Phalen , any thoughts on Vandy’s chances at Florida with Castleton out? Do they have a quality back-up? I don’t recall them being that big without him.

    Basketball A lot of strong head coaches at mid-majors

    Out of curiosity and difficulty sleeping, I scrolled through Ken Pom to see what coaches are around who have been having success at the “mid-major” level, either currently or in the recent past who are now assistants or just hanging out. There are a lot. No idea whether they are actively seeking...

    Basketball MBB: Bama 50, UK 36 @ Rupp

    Alabama is taking UK out to the woodshed in Rupp tonight. They were up 42-30 at halftime and have been getting points at the rim with impunity. Alabama beating #10 UT last week was not a fluke; they look like the real deal. They might be the best team in the conference, certainly in the top 3.

    Hoops Recruiting UK Gets NCAA Waivers

    UK gets transfer waivers So let me get this straight: at the very moment that UK is desperately short of a high-impact freshman center that they require to run their offense, they magically receive an immediate transfer waiver from the NCAA to let the #1 transfer in America, big man Olivier...

    DJ Harvey

    Notre Dame transfer DJ Harvey was listed at 6'7" and 180 lbs as a HS recruit. On the ND roster, he was listed at 6'6" and 225 lbs (!!) for 2018-19. Looking at his recruiting hype video, he attacks the basket and has a nice jumper. So what position does that translate into? Would he be a 3 or a...

    Basketball Would VCDW have fired Bryce Drew?

    This is just a hypothetical. If Vice Chancellor/Athletics Director David Williams III (may he rest in peace) was still with us and was still the AD at Vanderbilt, do you think he would have fired Drew last year following the 2019 season? Would he have first him after this season? What would Drew...
