Honestly I'd rather face vandy. Just my opinion. Maybe I'll change it after I watch more of this game.

That's what I thought initially as well, but after doing some research on both teams, we match up wayyyy better with Wichita State than we do Vandy. WSU has zero inside presence and Baker isn't a great defender which would bode well for either York or Trier.

Jones and Baldwin are both 1st round NBA prospects on Vandy, and they're surrounded by shooters and play solid defense. Scary team now that they are healthy.

Vandy has way more talent, but WSU is a better coached team that is disciplined and has tourney experience. 50/50 game here imo.

Luke Kornet is the best player on the team.

Yup, led the SEC in blocks and he can shoot it for a 7 footer. Exactly why I don't want to face Vandy on Thursday.

That looked like a clean follow up by Wichita. Apparently the announcers disagree with me. Ball was clearly off the rim and wasn't going to touch it again.

Terrible free throw shooting for Vandy so far. Only 5/13

He's in the middle of every play on both ends.

Vandy storming back

I believe the Shockers lost 4 games of their 8 losses when Van Fleet was out with a hamstring issue.They are pretty damn good, and if they hold on, will give Arizona all they want. Vandy coming back though.
