BTW, that Vandy team we play tomorrow night? They're currently projected to have two lottery picks in this year's NBA draft. And yet there they sit, last place in the SEC. Coaching matters- moreso in basketball than in any other sport.

Still, we can't overlook a team with that kind of talent. They've had some close calls against some good teams this year. They're capable of jumping up and biting us if we don't take them seriously.

One of their players, point guard Darius Garland who was a Top 5 in the country recruit got injured in the 5th game and is out for the rest of the season. It was a blow to them. He was projected as a lottery pick.

He may go in the draft anyway

We have talent honestly. It's just talent that was developed, but it was always there

The rubes on Lock It In said to take Vandy and the points tonight. I didn't catch the spread on the game though.
