Will Vandy lose three of next four games?

Question

Vandy still has to play USC, UK, FL, and Tenn. Will they end up losing three of the next four and possibly drop behind both Alabama and LSU in the SEC standings? Wouldn't that be hilarious.

Answer 1

I think odds would say we have just as good of a shot at going 4-0 as we do 1-3. Nothing would surprise me with this group, enough talent to beat anybody, enough holes to lose to anybody.

Answer 2

Vandy has almost no shot to beat UK at home..It has not been done under Cal.

Originally posted on Rupp Rafters by stoneycat_20.

Answer 3

I wonder who has come the closest to beating UK since Cal has been there?

Answer 4

UNC was a 1 point game this year don't know if anyone else has been that close over the 3 years.

Originally posted on Rupp Rafters by kyfan606.

Answer 5

I believe Vandy was 2 last year and Miami of Ohio was 2 the year before that.

Answer 6

No way you lose to USC. They are just gosh awful. I don't think Vandy wins at UK, but now that Florida is a man short Vandy would have to be considered a heavy favorite playing at home. The Tennessee game is the one that is interesting.

Answer 7

I think Vandy goes 3-1, only losing to UK, I wouldn't be shocked if they lose to UT on the road though. With Yeguette out for the Gators they will have a hard time on defense stoping Taylor and Ezeli inside.

Answer 8

I also think they go 3-1, and finish the regular season at 22-9. Pretty good, should be a 5 or 6 seed in the NCAA's.

Answer 9

Vandy will got 2-2

21-10 is a good season for them, but far from expectations. Maybe they can redeem themselves a bit in the NCAAT this time. You never know.

Answer 10

All I know is that Vandy is going to lose this Saturday.

Originally posted on Rupp Rafters by westerncat.

Answer 11

I think 3-1, 2 tourney wins, to finish at 25-9 going in. 6 seed.

Originally posted on Rupp Rafters by mkasten25.

Answer 12

The Miami game Cal's first year was the one we were trailing by 1 and Wall hit the 3 at the Buzzer(or close to it) for a 2 point win.

Answer 13

Vanderbilt WILL NOT beat the Cats at home. They have a better chance at going 1-3 in the next 4 than they do beating UK.

Originally posted on Rupp Rafters by CatsFan4Evr..

Answer 14

It was actually tied 70-70 and Wall hit a 2 point shot.

CVF do you think nerlens noel is on the take like you did alex poythress?

Answer 16

if he did, he'd never admit it here

Answer 17

According to Ken Pomeroy, this Vandy team is better than their last three teams to make the NCAA's. And they looked pretty good in the second half against UK. I wouldn't be surprised them do well down the stretch and in the tournament.

Answer 18

Vandy will win 2/4 or 3/4, beating SC for sure and then FL or UT for sure and maybe both. We are their only definite loss.

I do not know why people want Vandy to lose so much...put them as the 2-3 seed with FL, let them beat up on each other in the semis while we play a more mediocre opponent.

I do hope that either Bama and Miss State does not drop to the 8/9 game though, not that I'm afraid of them, especially with them both losing a key player, but that would be a tough, physical game for us in game 1. I'd rather play Arkansas and beat them by about 25 again.

Originally posted on Rupp Rafters by UKWildcats#8.

Answer 19

There is very little chance that either of them end up as the 8 or 9. They will be tied for 5th at worst with LSU.

Answer 20

he has...on the vandy scout board. well i should say a poster with the same exact user name has. i suppose its possible its different people. but i doubt it.

Originally posted on Rupp Rafters by BostonCat2001.

Answer 21

No. Vandy has played great since we beat them and don't think for a second that the game Saturday against them will be easy. The Cats better come to play, and I think they will.

Originally posted on Rupp Rafters by kev69.

Answer 22

You got it-----------It will be a battle to the very end. Vandy has a very talented team that has under achieved all year due to injuries and simply inconsistent play.

They should be a tough out in March........

Originally posted on Rupp Rafters by keepingit real.

Answer 23

Yeah, they finally seem to be peaking at the right time. I still think we win Saturday, but I also think we see them again in New Orleans.

Originally posted on Rupp Rafters by kev69.

Answer 24

Man, I would love to face UK again in New Orleans because that would more than likely be in the finals and that game would be great for both teams going into the NCAA Tournament.

I have an unrelated question: Are the SEC Tournament UK crowds better than the crowds at Rupp? I've never been to Rupp for a UK game (did see Felton Spencer in the Sweet 16 there when he was in high school), but I always read people on here complaining about the crowds not being as good, etc... I've been to a couple of SEC tourney games involving UK and really thought the crowds were amazing. Catlanta, Blue Orleans, Catsville, etc....

Originally posted on Rupp Rafters by CrazyVandyFan.

Answer 25

CVF,

Of course we don't have 24,000 fans at the SEC Tournament, but we get a lot of 20-50 year olds that get a little liquored up and make a whole lot of noise, so , yes, I think we get a better crowd for the tournament.

Answer 26

My bad. "The mind is the First thing to go, I can't remember the Second"

Originally posted on Rupp Rafters by _ukcat.

Answer 27

Oh trust me CVF, we would love to kick your team's ass right before the NCAA Tourney as well but I do not see you getting there to the SEC finals.

You always crack me up with your consistent hatred.

CVF i have a great life, and i'm honest. what about you? what do you think of nerlens noel? what did you mean by this statement? "This kid (Nerlens Noel) is radioactive. He comes with a price tag."

what do you think it means for the team that lands him?

is it that hard for you to be honest and answer the question? you still think poythress is dirty too dont you?

Originally posted on Rupp Rafters by BostonCat2001.

Answer 34

I will be glad to tell you what I know on that scout board.

why not here?

Answer 36

The crazies....

Originally posted on Rupp Rafters by CrazyVandyFan.

Answer 37

seems like a cop-out to me. what should it matter where you post it.

Originally posted on Rupp Rafters by BostonCat2001.

Answer 38

Sounds good.

Originally posted on Rupp Rafters by CrazyVandyFan.

Answer 39

Yes, I would be interested in hearing more also. Especially considering that you try to represent yourself as a rational fan on our board. So come on Skip, spill the beans.

Answer 40

just as i thought. you dont know anything and are fake. just like to talk crap on message boards. works for me, good deal.

Originally posted on Rupp Rafters by BostonCat2001.

Answer 41

thats just it. he comes here acting all nice, but goes on his own boards and basically says uk is cheating and our players/recruits have their hands out.

to me its just fake. and i think the uk fans that engage in conversation with him/her should know what he really like and what he really thinks of uk and our players

Originally posted on Rupp Rafters by BostonCat2001.

Answer 42

I agree, you can figure that guy out pretty easily, even without reading what he says at home. Maybe after we stomp Vandy this time he'll disappear for a few days.

Originally posted on Rupp Rafters by Pygmy Sasquatch.

Answer 43

You like making stuff up, don't you.

Originally posted on Rupp Rafters by CrazyVandyFan.

Answer 44

did you write this on the vandy scout board: "This kid (Nerlens Noel) is radioactive. He comes with a price tag."

if so....please explain

i'm not making up anything....just trying to understand what you really think of uk, our players and our recruits.

Originally posted on Rupp Rafters by BostonCat2001.

Answer 45

There is a reason many of us long time posters don't care for you.

You aren't as clever as you think you are. In fact, it's pretty easy to see through.

Even when you bring decent discussions to the table, it's full of condescending comments and backhanded undertones meant to try to disguise your true feelings.

And you think you are smart enough to get away with it, but then play the victim when you get called out.

Just be who you really are and post what you really think. I have much more respect for posters that do that even though I may not agree with them. And that's the reason I have always rode your ass over here.

Answer 46

I hear ya, but if I say things the way I would say them if you and I were at a bar having a beer, the crazies come out to play and ruin any semblance of conversation we may have. Look at BostonCat, cruising through other message boards to try and "get" me. Really, how old are you?

I'm not going to apologize for trying to be polite on Rupp Rafters. As a matter of fact, I've tried to do so for about the past two years because wildcatdon (whom I respect) asked me to do so.

As for BostonCat's crusade, I told him I would be glad to tell him what I have heard on that scout board. No use in discussing it here, if I wanted to do that, I would have posted it here.

Originally posted on Rupp Rafters by CrazyVandyFan.

Answer 47

You are one gutless wonder.

Originally posted on Rupp Rafters by The_Godfather.

Answer 48

Your 'politeness' comes in a very condescending and superficial form that many of us don't care for (not just me and bostoncat).

Either be polite - and mean it - or be yourself and deal with/ignore the crazies.

And, is it something you "know" or something you "heard". You've stated both now and they have two different meanings.

Originally posted on Rupp Rafters by cat_chaser.

Answer 49

Fake POS.

Originally posted on Rupp Rafters by STL_Cat.

Answer 50

I usually am myself here, I just don't post stuff that I know will lead to a shit storm. If posting things like Taylor is similar to MK-G gets 100 plus hate filled posts, just imagine posting something I've heard about a recruit would garner??? It's just not worth it.
