Game Thread: SHU vs Vandy

Unfortunately tonight we are getting a grim picture of what conference play will be.You can compete in minor sports in BE but not major sports like basketball if you don’t have competitive Nil money.if we jeep basketball in BE we will be back to early PJ days going forward f
 
Is Vandy better than projected in the SEC as the announcers believe, or is SH worse than projected in the BE? The latter.
 
I think we should do backround check on Toumi how could he possibly have played college ball before he can’t make a layup and he shot 10 foot airball tonight.He would have come off the bench on my high school team.

In 10 minutes Felton showed MUCH better tempo with the ball, body control and finishing ability than Wusu has in 2 years. How can we believe he’s deserved to be on the bench this whole season?

So was it our defense or competition before today. Looking like bad teams we played. Vanderbilt shot lights out in second half. Bad performance today.
I wouldn’t classify VCU as a bad team but they lost again tonight to Nevada. Maybe our OT game with them last night had something to do with it.

Personally, I think we have to expand so much energy on defense to make up for our putrid offense. Not a formula for success for back to back games this early in the season.

I guess we’ll find out on Sunday.

Regardless, a .500 record in the Big East is a pipe dream based on our body of work so far.

Sadly Toumi's Offense was so much better than his D -- Just has no clue

True. I was referring more to first four teams we played. Sunday will be interesting to see how they respond.

Your point about the defense is exactly on point and also noted in another thread. Hard to replicate the effort they put out vs VCU in back to back games especially with the our woefully inconsistent offense not being able to score enough points.
