According to this page Vandy has never had a season where they lost every conference game they played.

Wow, I didn't realize they had done so poorly this season. I knew it had been rough, but I had no idea they were winless in the conference. That has to hurt.
And their current freshmen class was the highest ranked recruiting class in their history. Shows what can happen when your elite, future NBA lottery pick, PG goes down with an injury.
Granted Garland was a blow....but they still have Shittu along with some other talented kids. It si hard to believe they couldn't have eeked out 1 win vs. UGA, USC, Mizz, Arkansas, Texas AM, etc... Not a good look for Bryce Drew at all.
But......I thought all a coach had to do was recruit great talent and roll the ball out? That is what has been said about Cal for years....I hope that the recruits that went there get all the shots they want to put up......I had a friend that always said, "he would rather play on a losing team, than to sit the bench and watch a winning team".
They were horrible when I went to the UK game. After their close loss to UT they tanked it. They have a new AD. Word is Drew and the women’s coach will get another year
Even losing Garland, they shouldn’t be this bad. To have zero wins in the conference is atrociously bad.
I guess they give Drew another year, but what kind of class does he have coming in?
He’s got two 4 stars signed, and a 3 star signed. If they can sign the Watford kid, that would be a decent class.
I agree with you as I also think this team has quit, if anyone has watch any of the games they played you can see this with the exception of the Ten. game. They played a great game against Tenn. but the ref's made a bad call that rob Vandy of that game.
Vandy has some good talent on the team just wish they could put it together and win some games before their season ends this year.
No . Garland doesn't make them a good team. One really good player doesn't make what a 8-9 win team into a 20 win team. IMO with Garland they maybe win 4-6 SEC games sure but they would still suck . And they are talented but they just can't play for whatever reason. Shittu went to the wrong school . Not saying he should of gone to UK but anywhere but Vandy.
It's a combination of a lot of things. A perfect storm.
1. They lost a lot of experience from a bad team last season
2. They are a young team. Majority of their roster is underclassmen
3. Lose your best, once in an era program changing player, who you built your entire roster around.
4. I think their SEC SOS was the toughest in the conference.
5. Close heartbreaking losses to go along with losing their best player
It was just a snowball going downhill....I think Drew is a good coach...but he's gotta figure it out pretty quick or he will be gone.

I think that's a fair assessment. I will say, there is no reason they shouldn't have won a game in the conference. Losing their point guard was huge, but there is still enough talent there to win some games. And they came oh so close in several games.
This is also a testament to how good the SEC is this season. There are no gimmes on the schedule. There are no garbage teams in this league. If Vanderbilt is the worst team, just look at some of the talent they have in Shittu and Saben Lee- and they had Joe Toye as an upperclassmen. They wouldn't have gone winless in most conferences this season.
When we played them down in Nashville earlier this season, they looked like the worst high major D1 basketball team I'd ever witnessed. They have to do something.
Anchor down! You're going nowhere but to the bottom. Anyone want Stallings back? I hear he's available.
Curse of the Double post Goals... bring those back and you’ll have your winning ways again, Vandy.

Weird thing is, they aren't bad. They've been in games and stayed competitive. They're probably better than half a dozen crap teams that'll get into the tournament.
You have to wonder why some high rated kids toss their lot with a very unproven coach and school....he may never re-appear on draft boards.

They had Eddie Fogler for a while and he had one outstanding season. Stallings had some good seasons at Vandy and had more success than just about anyone else. Roy Skinner had some very good seasons as well. While really only a "decent" program overall it's hard to believe that they're this bad.

Thanks. A couple of posters had ask that question and I kept scrolling down thinking surely someone’s answered it. I know 65 years is a long time. I’m stll 3 years short of it.
