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

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?

Over the past seven games, Vanderbilt has stifled opposing offenses with their defense. So what’s going right for the Commodores thus far?

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.
