-Big game this weekend at Rupp. Vandy comes in at 22-6 (9-6) and off a win vs Georgia at home after losing a 1 pt game at Mizzou and a rough home loss to UTjr prior to that.

-Vandy has been playing pretty poorly of late but did get Duke Miles back and he’s starting to round into shape.

-Vandy relies heavily on Tyler Tanner, Tyler Nickel and Duke Miles. Nickel has been slumping and if Vandy has any chance of pulling off a win at Rupp, will need Nickel to make a bunch of threes.

-VU’s frontcourt is still limited. Devon McGlockton plays the 4 and the 5 depending on whether Jalen Washington is on the floor. AK Okereke plays a “point forward” type of role for us.

How are we feeling about the Cats after th South Carolina game.

What are your keys to the game?

Yeah we saw them embarrass UK in Nashville. We know all about them. Won’t be a beat down this time. I expect a one of two possession game at last media timeout. Cats will probably be favored

Totally agree. I thought the game in Nashville was a total outlier for UK. I expect Oweh to come out with much better effort than he did in Memorial Gym.

For us to have a chance, Tanner is going to have to play well.

What are our keys to the game?

Hope that a bunch of Vandy sports bettors make it impossible for UK to lose the game, would be my main key.

Hey FB. Your Commodore’s will be as easy to be beat Saturday as Sunday morning. They’re going to run into a brick house Kentucky defense.

Commodores play great on the night shift FB. However this game is being played in the afternoon.

I know y’all have high standards at Kentucky, but what do you consider “good?”

We’re 22-6, 10 points from being 26-2 and ranked 13th in KenPom.

Is that “good?”

To me, we’re pretty good but we’re not 2012 UK.
Good for Vanderbilt and good for Kentucky are two completely different things.

I just want everyone to have fun and show good sportsmanship. Maybe even make new friends with someone from another school.

My expectations are to not get blown out again. Outside that I have no idea what this team will do.

I'm sure the Vegas line will have you guys slightly favored, but I'd be full of it if I pretended to know what UK will do in any given game.
