OK, on to the Commodores. This is a team that got better as the season went on. Early, they lost at home to Patriot League champ Bucknell. They lost to Butler on a neutral court by 10, lost to Minny by 4 on another neutral court, lost to Dayton @UD by 5, but beat a good Florida team three times.

The aren't terribly big, they have a 7 foot guy but he is a stretch 4 and shoots 3's. Very experienced, all Seniors and Juniors.

Vandy shoots 3's. Almost have of their FG attempts are from distance. They go 9 deep but only have 7 guys scoring more than 2 points a game. They finished last in the SEC in rebounding, but 4th in points allowed.

Good match-up for NU.

I've watched both teams all season and can give a preview if people are interested.

Only if you declare in advance which team you are rooting for on Thursday.

Well I'm going with a family member who is an NU alum so I'll be cheering for Vandy to balance us out, but I certainly won't be mad if NU wins.

^ That's perfectly fine (gotta root for your alma mater).

Btw, do Vandy alums think that Skippy is a complete douche?

Yes, we do. Cannot stand him

Also would love you to be in touch with Chris Lee of VandySports.com to share your insights. His contact info is pretty easy to find but I can help you connect if interested.

Hard to hate Vandy. Small, private school surrounded by the cesspool that is the SEC. Good academics, nice city, successful alumni (except the douche Bayless).

Wouldn't mind this becoming one of our regular non-conference opponents.

I hope we win.
