Kinda surprising. South Carolina in about the same situation as us, being at home. Maybe they think we've got the monkey off our back, getting our first road win. Or maybe they are looking at our last game against the Cocks.

I give us a 45% chance.

Honest question: why do we play South Carolina twice every year? I feel like every year that Howland has been here we have played them in the Hump and in Columbia.

Pretty stupid to have more than 1 permanent opponent in basketball. But seeing who our 3 are, I'm not complaining.

"Poor Vanderbilt" getting "stuck" with anything negative, in my book is a positive. I once felt sorry or those arses but not anymore

We won our first road game at Mizzou so this could be our 2nd road win.

On paper we look like we win this one but I fully expect Cousinard to hit a career high 40 points and for him to hit a game winning shot with 2 seconds left. All while playing with 4 fouls the entire 2nd half.

We win by 4 if we get a strong effort from Tulu, and Brooks. If good Jeffries makes the plane ride make it 10 or better. All they have to do is not overplay on offense, pass more, and lock down the lane on defense.

If Molinar takes a half off like he has done a few times we get creamed by 12 or more.

Until proven otherwise, we suck. Hope for the best, but obviously count on the worst.

Guess What? Just turned the game on in time to see you one of our players pass it to his own player in the corner who was instantly trapped and had to call time out. I'm sending Ben and the boys a telegram and this is what it's gonna say.

Need this Quad 2 win.

It Ain't Happening! Since I have started watching we've only made one basket against about nine clanks and they gave up a dunk right at the buzzer.

Nobody can shoot even Molinar and they're hammering him so he's missing everything. At least we got this NCAA **** out of our system quickly and can focus solely bitching about baseball.

Let’s not stop there. We have 3 starters combining for 2 pts, DJ with a nice 0/0/2 stat line, 0% from 3 as a team, and we have a grand total of 4 assisted baskets.

With all due respect to Hadad, this is putrid

23 points in 20 mins, just shoot me now.

Is it just me or every other game you our players look like they don't even know who their teammates are on the floor? And when do figure out who's on their team they look like they've never played a game of basketball in their entire 17ing life

I really have no clue what we are watching anymore. Big men are soft, try to finesse crap instead of throwing down a dunk. Guards that can't even hit the rim from outside. No assists for easy buckets. Then we just let them have a wide open lane to the bucket. I can hear my old high school coach screaming bloody murder and he passed 20 years ago.

One of the softest teams up and down the lineup that I can ever remember. Just soft as ****. No 2 ways about it. Even Rick Ray’s players had a bigger set of stones than this bunch.

I simply laugh at the number of people sucked into believing. There was never a chance. You guys are a glutton for punishment.

I cannot remember a team that performed worse under pressure than this one. We will blow teams away at home but we can't even beat sorry teams on the road

The silver lining is that South Carolina just won the play in game to the NIT. We can now officially know that there is not a single game that we have to suffer through again after the SEC tournament
