Vanderbilt

[YoDore]

Vandy up 10 at the half, but Kentucky made its last five shots.

16-1 and 3-0

 

[TC22]

I’m just glad we play Vanderbilt at home.

 

[Puppy Love]

I make it a point to dislike anything from Tennessee. However, you guys have my all time favorite Husky, so GO VANDY! Anchor Down!

Vandy and Princeton play a lot like UConn

 

[LETTERL]

Only blip so far by 8 points to NC State. Wolfpack and Commodores two of the most surprising teams in all of WCBB this season.

 

[DefenseBB]

As a reminder, in the previous regime's 5 years, the most wins in any one season was 14! So Shea has already beaten that total twice in her 2+ years. The previous coach was also 46-83 while Shea is 44-39 so this is truly inspiring. Go SHEA!

 

[YoDore]

Some things are just too hard to resist, like this little video.

But that's always the case with the benches in the "end zone." Can't stand that court of theirs.

I know that. Vandy also has a crazy court that’s hard for opponents to play on. That’s why I’m glad we play them at home. They will be hard enough to beat. I’m well aware of what Shea has done. I Knew they’d be in the mix sooner rather than later.

Exactly.

 

[BRS24]

Sigh. A missed layup at the end to tie the game, but a good batted back from a horrid 4Q. Missouri beats Vandy 65-63. I'm betting some good film opportunities for Shea & staff.

Do you guys think Shea would be your fans' choice to replace Geno when he decides to retire?

Honestly, I'm thinking Shea is living a coaches dream. It's her program with a University fully behind the women's basketball program. Also, as I understand it they are building a state of the art arena and basketball facility. And she has time to put it together.

Any coach coming after Geno & CD will have an up hill climb with the fans expectations. Being a former assistant I think would be brutal.

Go Coach Ralph

 

[JellyBean]

Hats off to our girl Coach Ralph!! Got Vandy looking good and playing good. 16-2 overall with a 3-1 record in the SEC. Just missed being 4-0. Tough one but Coach Ralph has Vandy heading in the right direction, which is upward.

 

[visitingcock]

Oh well, A&M slaughtered the Vols.

I was trying to get a feel for who your fans want. I know you don't want Geno to retire, but we all have to, eventually.

How is Oliver doing this season?

Are they really??

 

[YoDore]

Shea's Jan. 16 press conference.

 

[YoDore]

Weather related. This sucks. Will be lucky if they get 1,000 people there in the middle of a weekday afternoon when people are at work and many students are still in class. Game on SEC+.

Do you guys think Shea would be your fans' choice to replace Geno when he decides to retire?

Although Shea has been great, I think I would pick Carla Berube - if we could only pick from UConn alumni. Mostly because she has more experience being a head coach and has a long proven track record of success (17 years at D3 Tufts with a record of 384–96, now recently 81-15 with D1 Princeton). Plus, she was on UConn's first NC winning team. So it's a combination of success and history and I think that would be attractive to fans and recruits alike.

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing a team coached by all UConn alumni.

I think Shea is comfortable at Vandy right now and is very invested in improving the program. Maybe in a couple of years and if she can get Vandy to a high level, things might change.

 

[YoDore]

Whew. Talk about a knock-down, drag-out game.

 

[HuskyNan]

Watch Princeton play some time. Carla Berube is also a Husky, from the first National Championship team. Carla or Shea would be okey-Dokey with me
