VANDY ESCAPES WITH 76-75 UPSET OF VOLS-West

[JohnWardForever]

westwords The 76-75 victory over the Volunteers was a rare and dramatic happening. New coach Mark Byington and 11 transfers shared the honor. A miss by Chaz Lanier with 2.8 seconds remaining was decisive. What would have been the tying point hit the back of the rim and bounced away.

"We’ll soon see if the Vols are championship contenders or pretenders. The next four foes are Mississippi State, Auburn, Kentucky and Florida." Exactly Mr. West. I predicted 2-3 before the Vandy Loss, NOW; well it does appear that the Vols were overrated. The "Stars" need to fill their roles.

This just in: winning on the road in the SEC (college basketball) is hard.

Film at 11.

Tennessee lost to South Carolina at home last year. I thought that would cost them an SEC title last year and it didn’t. This was a bad loss, but not as bad as that one in my opinion. Tennessee is still in it.

I never really question CRB but yesterday I could tell very fast that ZZ needed to come back in the game in the first half with the 2 fouls. Vandy went on a big run and we nearly went scoreless rest of the half. Why not let him play? Maybe it's 50/50 he picks up more fouls and has to sit a long period in the 2nd half but him not playing is 100% if you put him on the bench for 7 minutes. I'm not that good at math but I like the odds of letting him play.

$250,000 fine on Vandy storming court after we can't make a free throw. We don't have to worry about our fans charging "The Summit" because most of our basketball fans are asleep.

After today Nashville has become a hell hole for visiting teams. Vandy's on the rise.
