Vanderbilt 72

This was a game where it was there for the taking but 11 for 23 from 3 land was too much for this Ky team to overcome.Cats are no fun to watch at all.Cant wait until football season.

~~Old school Dawg~~ · 01-20-2007, 06:59 PM

Morehead really might be able to beat the Cats if they played in Morehead.

Looked like **** today! POINT BLANK!

Dude, grow up. They played bad today. Simple as that, but to say stupid crap like that is ridiculous.

Yeah, they did. Bad loss at home but Vandy blew out Alabama earlier in the week. Kentucky is the better team though, and to take anything positive out of this Thomas played really well today. That was about it.

Vandy is hot right now though, now with wins this season of Georgia Tech, Tennessee, Bama, and now Kentucky.

That doesn't match up with anything I said, so why quote me? And it's definitely not funny?

UK looked horrible today. But Vandy was shooting lights out. Shot 50% from the field(24-48) and 11-23 from 3 as said earlier. I agree that UK is the better team, but they just caught Vanderbilt at a wrong time, they are on a hot streak as of late. Congrats to the dores.

Vandy is Hot but the Cats were on a big win streak.

I thought Vandy just hit some big shots and the Cats didn't.

So far Vandy has played rather well against ranked foes, and people need to remember no matter what the Cats are ranked, teams "get up" for them. A win against the Cats is a very motivating prize for any school let alone one that we have dominated for years.

if kentucky kepts playing the way they are i look for tem to lose 10 games this year and maybe make it to the sweet 16

Did you see the guy waving the Morehead hat at the camera as the game was ending,,,that is what made me think that.I dont think losing to Vanderbilt is anything to be ashamed of.

**TidesHoss32** · 01-21-2007, 01:44 AM

yeah they are rolling. Didnt I hear it said that they have more wins against the top 25 than anybody in the SEC?

Congrats Vandy.

**Playboy5** · 01-21-2007, 10:12 AM

And to think UK was 12 1/2 point favorites made me JUMP ALL OVER THIS ONE with Vandy!!! 1 of the hottest teams in the country right now!

So you didn't say Vandy was hot? You might want to read your post again my friend!

**NYY10** · 01-21-2007, 02:48 PM

lmao I know what you mean and thats hillarious, Tubby never wins big games he's awful.

**BlackcatAlum** · 01-21-2007, 03:23 PM

Vanderbilt has two great players in Byars, and Fostar. They both could light it up from behind the arc. Kentucky couldnt do anything to stop them either. Thomas had one of his better games but you don't want him leading the team. Bradley shot well but didn't get many looks. Congrats Commodores.

Yeah, he had an awful run 2003 and 2005 didn't he? Not to mention winning the 98' National Title that Rick couldn't win with the 97' team and even after they lost Prickett, Epps, Derrick Anderson, and Ron Mercer (4 Leading Scorers from the 1997 team)

Yeah, I said that but it's not just Tubby that struggled with Vandy this season. Bruce Pearl also did, and so did several other ranked teams and coaches. No need to put your Tubby bashing spin on it.

**alfus21** · 01-21-2007, 05:37 PM

Joe Crawford shot 4-17 from the field yesterday and Meeks shot 1-6. (Combining for 5-23)

It's going to be hard to beat anybody when your scoring threats shoot 21%

**Wyatt Earp** · 01-21-2007, 06:06 PM

Vandy has been a tough team to beat for a few years and probably could happen again before the year is out. Tough to win shooting 20 some % at any level.

Super_de · 01-21-2007, 06:52 PM

look at it this way, uk had a bad game, vandy had a good game and uk only lost by 5.

lol you really think it was Tubbys coaching that won it for them in 98?

Yeah, along with the talent of course. It's easy to bash Tubby for winning with a team of Pitino's recruits, but Rick couldn't do it in 97' and the top 4 scorers of the 97' team either graduated or left early. I think he done a pretty good job losing those 4 guys, and finishing what Pitino couldn't.

I get what your saying, but if it was his coaching then why havent we been back since then?

I didn't say anything about being back since then and neither did you. You tried to laugh me off the boards for saying he done something that Pitino couldn't after losing the 4 top scorers, and now you want to change your tune.

He's been close to being back since then, but a couple of bad breaks in the tournament have prevented that. With the exception of last season and the 2000 season I believe we've been close to getting back to that point. We've had 3 elite eight appearances since then but just haven't gotten the breaks (Bogans injury, Sparks getting fouled)

Pitino was there in 96 and won it, He was back in 97 which is hard enough. Arizona was a heck of a team that year, You cant say Arizona wasent good that year. Besides Pitino lost like 8 people from that 96 team and they all went in the first round of the draft and he still made it back to the championship

I loved this game and can't wait to watch UK loose another then another etc........ Way to go Vandy!!!!!!
