Sorta off topic: Vandy’s defense getting the thumbs up

[eebmg]

Can Shea finish .500?

Every SEC team is tough, but I think she has a chance to win 6 more games. Vandy has a good chance in five games against 4 opponents, Auburn, Alabama (2), Ole Miss and Florida.

The rest are tough games: Cancelled last night against Texas Tech, Texas A&M Shea would have to have an upset in 1-2 games against: Missouri, Ark, MSU, Tenn (2), LSU, SC, Kentucky (2), Georgia.

. Of course Shea is relevant here, as are Carla Berube, Tamika Williams, Brittany Hunter, Nykesha Sales, Tonya Cardoza, Marissa Moseley and all the others on coaching staffs of other teams.

How about Jasmine? Does she rate?

I would be shocked if Vandy won 6.

Nice result and good overall play but Goforth who was one of the major scoring options for Ark missed a bunny which would have brought the game within 1.

I know, I know, I‘ll get a frowny face for posting non-UConn article here but it’s Shea! If there’s a former Husky that should know how to play defense, it’s Shea.

Analyzing Vanderbilt Women’s Basketball’s Defense: What is Going Right? - The Vanderbilt Hustler

The Vanderbilt women’s basketball team shocked many people on Thanksgiving Day when they held a lead against the then-No. 9 team in the country, the University of Arizona. Although they didn’t hold on, the next day, they convincingly beat a top-150 opponent, Rutgers. But the Commodores were not...

More important (and to the point) she knows how to coach defense! Perhaps there is a reason our defense doesn’t seem as good this season!

Pretty nice win for Coach Ralph and the Vandy program. That Vandy defense was pretty solid. Congrats, Coach Ralph.

She also knows how to be interviewed. During the post game court side interview Shea responded to a question by addressing the development of a winning culture. One statement she made was “culture eats strategy for lunch”. (I hope I got that right.). Wow!

Always liked Shea's approach to competitive BB, as a player and Asst coach.
If she can turn around their recruitment and attract top players, Vandy will be a force to reckon with,
even in the SEC.
