Re: Amen. I feel bad for our guys. 


It's always this way, isn't it? It seems that when you're not a great team, then your luck isn't all that great, either, is it?

First that clock bs against UK; then some joker jacks up a 35-footer that, in effect, Prevents us from getting our first SEC win against a good Ole Miss team.

It's like not great team = really bad luck and/or old-school Vanderbilt football.

And that equation really hurts, as we all know. I mean, it's pretty doggone unlucky to break the VU record for treys in a game and still lose. That must be God's sick sense of humor. No other explanation, haha.

It's not about luck.  Until we start shooting free throws, we're going to be see a lot of late leads collapse.  Any team losing to us should implement the hack-a-Dore strategy with 5 minutes left in the game.

Re: Agreed. Shooting 40-something percent at the stripe...

just won't get it done in any conference. I addressed that in another post.

But I still think we've had some piss-pore luck lately.
