Gonna attempt to throw a little sanity into this thread....
Im a grad of UT and ive lived in Nashville for several years now, so i feel i have a good grasp on these teams. I really like Vandy tonite. Pearl's squad just hasnt learned to play together yet. They are as athletic and talented as any team, but i dont believe any of them really know their roles on this team. Maze, Hopson, Tatum, Woolridge, Negadu are all playing for the first time this year in the SEC. Chism and Tyler Smith are solid but they havent gotten used to playing with those guys yet. as for JP Prince, im sorry, but he is garbage. Pearl has tried to get some rhythm going with different combinations of guys, it just hasnt happened yet. there is no chemistry for this squad right now. They have no perimeter threat on this team at all. Tatum and Hopson have the ability to hit outside shots, but not consistently. Look for Vandy to pack their defense in down low and keep UT away from the basket and force outside shots. Vandy's Defense has been superb this year. Im at work and dont have the stats in front of me, but they were top 10 in the county in defensive field goal percentage at one time. Athletically, Vandy may surprise some people. they are much more athletic than people realize..i.e..Jeff Taylor..the guy is just as athletic as anyone UT has. Vandy will make this game ugly. if they can avoid turning the ball over, they will win this one by a realitively comfortable margin i believe. as for UT, i just dont see them all of a sudden finding themselves on vandy's court tonite. i think it will be a long nite for their backcourt.
Vandy +1...and something small on the under....bol gentleman and be nice
