    Saved any chance at March Madness with pulling that rabbit out of a hat. Clutch 3 by Fleming at the end. Great inside out action.

    Can’t believe we got out of Nashville with a win after their 3 pointer barrage.

    That was a battle against the gods, since everything was working for Vandy. We are a pretty good team and almost ended the season just because the other team had a night. 50% threes. Falling down throw up shots. Weird foul calls. This team has fight.

    Lol..don't forget during the first few years of the Mike White era Vandy always beat us and sometimes it was just like that. So I think it's the basketball God's giving us bone

    It helped that the team shot 53% from the field and 47% from 3.

    And kudos to Gatkek and Lane who both played some quality minutes. Lane has really improved.

    Certainly proved me wrong. Keeps us alive and gives us a chance to beat UK at home Saturday to really help our chances

    I didn't think Lane would give us anything on offense but he has something. I like his floater and that drive to the basket as well. The guy is an athletic freak too.

    Reminds me of Casey Prather who was a turnover machine and then suddenly the lights went on. Love that he's not taking outside shots and playing great defense. Last night 26 minutes, 3-3 fg, 1 block, 1 steal and 0 TO's.

    The SEC broadcast team made a great point about that. We finally moved the ball with purpose and urgency that last minute, and that got us open looks and free throws.

    Agreed. He dribbles with authority. Though he loses his handle.

    Kyrie Irving watches my mens league highlights for dribbling inspiration.

    The more I think about it, his projection feels a lot like Casey Prather's. A ton of athletic ability but it took time for the college game to slow down for him. He isn't jacking up shots like he was doing early in the season but his "handle" looked much better against Vandy.

    I no longer have my fingers crossed when he's on the floor. That's how I know he has arrived as a player.
