Anything less than two out of three from this weekend would be
disappointing. All these games should be pretty close though.
On the surface, you might fear TAMCC for taking an SEC down to
the wire in what's a traditionally difficult place to play for
visitors. But Vanderbilt went winless in conference last year –
even we did better against the SEC! – and they're supposed to be
bottom of the barrel again. And then you see TAMCC's 33-point
loss at Louisiana Tech and some peripherals – 39 turnovers in
two games, only 21 forced, a heavy reliance on the three – and I
think it's a good matchup for us.
They were projected to finish in the middle of the pack in a
pretty lowly Southland Conference – good in some sports but not
really basketball. They did have the Thomas Walkup years with
Stephen F. Austin in the tournament, but last year ranked fourth
to last in non-conference record at 30-89 (ahead of the MEAC
21-128, SWAC 12-100 and NEC 33-73). But TAMCC does have some
tradition. They made four straight postseasons earlier this
decade and even made it to the CIT championship game in 2017.
One of the two stars on their CIT run transferred to Oregon and
played meaningful minutes last year. The other ended up in the G
League and is now playing professionally in Serbia.
Perhaps you dismissed the CIT success. I'll remind you that we
have one postseason win all time.
Louisiana Tech absolutely pantsed TAMCC in the 2019 opener, so
it's a good sign that they responded at Vandy with a solid
effort. The big difference was a 4 for 17 night from three
against Tech, and a 12 for 23 performance in the near upset of
Vandy (TAMCC led at the half and was within two late). This is
where they'll win or lose the game offensively. TAMCC has been
outscored a combined 72-38 in the paint in the first two games,
and the way we attack the hoop, I have to think that trend will
continue.
Hoping to see TSM this weekend (no knowledge of his status).
With three games in three days, I expect we will be using
everybody, including Christie and Ochefu.
The opening line came in at Stony Brook -1.5. I'm inclined to
think we pull this thing out.

Checkmate,
I haven't seen TSM at all. How good is he and how does he
compare to TPP?
Thanks in advance and thanks for the game notes.

When I saw him in the open practice, I thought he was ahead of
TPP by an eyelash. He has a real nice stroke from the outside so
I'd imagine that early on he can at the very least spot up for
us and knock down shots. Like TPP, he seemed comfortable in the
mid-range game too, and he got after it defensively on the
perimeter.

Ok, thanks. So from the sound and looks of it, the combo of TSM
and TPP may be able to fill some of that void of Policelli not
being able to play this year, given that Policelli has the rep
of being a spot up shooter.
Getting the popcorn ready for the trio of games this weekend.
Agree with you that the entire team will get minutes this
weekend.

Getting killed on the glass and jacking up threes. Turnovers
keeping us in it. We need more action going to the basket.

Just abysmal shooting and choice of shots. Very annoying
announcer not helping enjoyment of game.

Amazing with the brutal shooting that we are still in it.
Couple scores and stops and we could steal this one.

We have a propensity for missing layups. Horrible.
