7 PM tip-off tonight at Fifth Third. Broadcast on ESPN+.

This pre-game has the feel of a mid-season exhibition - even a "bowl" game of sorts given the opponent.

Since Tulsa lost to UCF on Tuesday, we are locked in as the 5th seed of the conference tournament. So on top of this game, our regular season finale against ECU has little stakes.

Vanderbilt played @LSU on Tuesday without their two best players, Scotty Pippen Jr and Dylan Disu.

It'd be nice to spread out the minutes tonight while also giving the seniors a proper send-off.

Despite their record, Vanderbilt are not a bad team. We will need to play well to win.
 
The result really doesn’t matter, but every win makes everyone feel a little better going in to next year. Players included.

I’ve got UC winning if Pippen doesn’t play and if he does play I have UC winning! The frosh squad are too much to handle
 
Ugly defense to start out. Vogt already with 2 fouls, so hope Tari can play well.
 
Now that was an ugly run by Diarra. Needs to understand he's not in to be a creator on offense.

I’ve not opined on Diarra in the past but...
Can’t believe a guy can’t improve over the course
of 3-4 years.
He’s a walking turnover machine.
 
Unless we add some serious defenders next year, my guess next season is the worst defensive UC team in 30 years.

We need to really get some defenders.
 
That was one of the worst defensive halves I have ever seen. We had all sorts of problems.

Vogt was simply abused, he's not fast enough to stay with any of them.

They had success getting Pippen switched onto a matchup they liked and taking advantage. Eason got switched onto Pippen multiple times and got beat.

We had lack of communication with Diarra trying to switch off Pippen and nobody switching onto him, leaving a wide open 3.

We had failure to hedge hard enough by Davenport, giving Pippen a second 4 point play. We had hedging too hard and committing fouls (mostly on Pippen).

Essentially, Pippen with his combination of quickness and accurate shooting destroyed us. Some other Vandy players did some things too, but it was mostly Pippen.
 
I think I'd trade the entire team for Pippen, he is single handedly destroying our defense and playing pretty well on the defensive end himself. Not that our defense is any good, but he's pretty impressive.
 
Might be time to call it a year. Down to 8 guys. 2 of them are Vogt and dou. See if brannen can work some miracles in the spring.

He passes up a lot of shots too. Could prolly have
40 by now.
