That plus us going through the motions until the last few mins. Definitely played down to our opponent tonight but got to give them credit for playing with nothing to lose.
Another "game of their life" in rupp......

Leaving that white guy open on every shot he has made was not great strategy.
Both of their guys have shot great from 3, mostly because we have left them open at times. The D was so great early, not sure what happened.

They were getting 3-point shots in transition. Why can't we do that? Ffensively, Vandy had more skill players than we did. Or their STRATEGY was better.
Why don't we set ant screens away from the ball? Only screens we set are on the ball, & our guys stand around or run some weave out front that just leads to the shot clock running down. I'd just like to see more movement away from the ball, get some energy from movement vs standing around.
Goodness gracious. You really think vandy just played the game of their lives? That was a good game played by vandy but not great by any means. UK just played a very pedestrian game and our bigs continue to show zero ability while catching the ball on the block. You would think hat going up against the size they do every day in practice that the low post guys would develop some low post moves and game however they continue to perform like Middle schoolers and can finish only above a defense that they have a sizeable height advantage on.
It's all about the defense. Cauley Stein played great, not just good, defense, tonight. And the others played well in spurts, but the TEAM defense wasn't there tonight. We had too many breakdowns.
It's tough to get up for a crappy team every night. This game made me mad tonight. I'm not sure why. Stallings' teams always play over their heads against UK. But this Vandy team is just a bunch of punks. If we had played with better energy defensively it would have been a 20pt win.
Oh well, that was Vandy's only shot at the King and we don't have to worry about them again.

Remember folks, this man (Stallings) is the guy who wept into a towel on the floor after beating UK in the SEC tourney a couple years ago. Vandy went on to lay an egg in the NCAA tournament while UK won the title. Beating UK is that man's entire life. It comes out in his team's play against us.
If only beating Vandy meant something. Maybe we wouldn't struggle getting up to llay them.

You are right,but I still get mad when we don't take them out of the game and just get it over.We might see them in the SECT,wish we had made it clear,Stallings your team has got no chance!!!
