Preseason Scrimmage Between Vandy and UNC
Posted by Jace Puckett in Basketball - Mens on March 9, 2010
I found an awesome story while reading VSL today about an October scrimmage between Vandy and UNC.
Turns out, Vandy won by 30! I know UNC is down this year, but that’s still pretty crazy to me…
“That was terrible,” Marcus Ginyard said of the Vanderbilt scrimmage. “That was like the whole season right there. That’s exactly the way this whole year’s gone down.”

Vandy’s Senior Day Spoiled
Posted by Jace Puckett in Basketball - Mens on March 6, 2010
Well, I’d have to say it’s our biggest throw-away of the season… The game was ours, then we stopped playing, South Carolina got up nine, and (for some reason) we were down 2 with 12 second remaining.
I know, the game doesn’t matter much in terms of NCAA seeding. But it leaves a sour taste in my mouth to see Jermaine go out like that at Memorial. He deserved to have a win today, and didn’t get it.
In pregame, I said we had to contain Devan Downey. And in the first half, that’s just what we did. But he went off in the second half, including a big-time 3 that ended up being the dagger.
Anyways, I don’t have much for postgame (still shell-shocked we lost). Feel free to use the comment board as a thread to vent your feeling/rants. I’ll reply to everything you say…
Senior Day Battle

Hard to believe this is going to be Jermaine’s final home game, I still remember his sophomore days – with Shan Foster dominating from long range, and AJ Ogilvy dominating the post as only a freshman… Man, the season just come and go, don’t they?
Well, let’s get to tonight. South Carolina has had a unsuccessful, disappointing season this year. That being said, there is always the Devan Downey threat that you have to worry about. And you have to understand, he is going to get his points regardless of how good your defense is. What you have to do is contain him – not stop him, just contain him.
South Carolina has something to worry about, too. That’s Jermaine Beal. Personally, I think he’s going to go off on Senior Day. He want’s to make a final impression on the home crowd.
The fact of the matter is, we are better than South Carolina – especially at home. As long as nothing crazy happens, we should win.
New D-End Coach

Bobby Johnson announced today that former Iowa State and Troy coach, Mike Pelton, will mentor Defensive Ends for your Vanderbilt Commodores.
I’m always open to a new coach, nothing wrong with changing things up a bit. I trust Bobby Johnson knows who he’s bringing, and wish the best to Mike.
