tonight's game

[matt424]

weak defense period. they are shooting 66%

 

[rgw]

It's because we don't guard the three very well sometimes.

The only time we guard it well is when the other team can't make it..._frown:

 

[NativeTider]

51-34 Vandy; Vandy shooting 61% from three and 69% overall

 

[lafella]

what is it with vandy, just can't get the best of them...

 

[NativeTider]

54-37 Vandy at halftime; no perimeter defense at all

 

[Bama Torch in Pcola]

Typical Gottfried road performance. No D. Hopefully they will turn it around in the second half.

 

[matt424]

home court advantage this year has been unbelievable in the SEC. always is ,but seems even more so this year.

 

[ReturnToGlory]

Absolutely disgraceful. It's time for CMG to let the guys know that playing no defense means no playing time. I love the Tide, but this team is an imposter Top 10 team.

Why would anyone go to/watch/listen to the game tonight? Flame away if you want, but the truth is we don't defend anyone with a perimeter game. I don't know why we even went to Nashville tonight. A Gottfried team is going to allow wide open threes for the entire game. Don't give me that stats about Alabama allowing the second fewest three point field goals in the SEC. Watch the games. When we play a team like this they have their career game against us. It's not a coincidence that everyone has a career game against us(ND, Sparks from UK, etc)!

Tough game, so far. I felt that this is an important game...as far as setting the tone here out.

Auburn beat Vandy?

 

[NativeTider]

60-44 Vandy with about 17:20 left

 

[BeenwiththeBear]

Ronald was supposed to be close to 100% after the rest......I hope he is just rusty.

 

[Whiz]

One meltdown on the road I could handle... two meltdowns has me really concerned about this team.

 

[NativeTider]

65-46 Vandy; Vandy 12 of 19 from three

 

[HendersonKYTide]

Vandy has good wins over GA Tech and TN. That is still no excuse. We have got to be able to play D on the road if we expect to be a top 10 team.

 

[WylieTexasTider]

This team reminds me of the squad that lost in the 1st round a couple of years ago. Mark is a very good recruiter but, as far as a coach goes he is in the bottom 1/4 of the SEC. He looks like the most unemotional being out there. Give the talent this team has to Tubby or Billy and they would be a legit top 5 team. This is a VERY, VERY poorly coached team that will be lucky to be any better than 9-7 in the SEC. If Mal truely wants the basketball team to be anything more than a 1st or 2nd round team each year he needs to go out and hire a real coach.

 

[NativeTider]

68-48 Vandy with 14:30 to go

 

[NativeTider]

72-56 Vandy with 13:08 to go; they are getting wide open looks everytime down the floor.

 

[Harmost]

Wow, I thought for once, we wouldn't lose every mildly challenging road game we played...
