When the team lost Jordyn, Iyana, and Kaylon in the preseason I thought, OHMYGOD THEY'RE SUNK! Then the season started and Ciaja appeared on the scene and I thought, OH THANK GOD THEY'RE NOT SUNK! :cry: I'm afraid the knocks are going to get worse before things get better, and that's pretty depressi...

Not gonna lie, that was hard to watch.

:/

Let’s go, Commodores!

Quick 6-0 start to the second half to tie things up.

Lots of interesting statistics, but one that really stands out is Ryanne's 10 for 10 from the foul line.
As a freshman?
Wish I knew if that was some kind of record.

Thanks for the updates!

I seriously doubt that the 20-something beat reporter -- who I find really sharp with her baseball coverage, VU's marquee sport -- has anything whatsoever to do with the lack of coverage in the Tennessean. She takes assignments, doesn't make them, right? It is not that unusual for two struggling hoo...

Nice to see a competitive final score. Didn't see any of the game myself and I'm still having a hard time not thinking, "What if" about the three starters who are sitting on the bench with injuries. I know every team has to deal with that stuff, but as VU is still trying to rebuild the pro...

Comparing what Coach Ralph inherited to what Coach Foster inherited 30 years ago is laughable. he inherited Heidi Gillingham for crying out loud, and multiple Top 10 recruiting classes.

I think it’s the, “If you’re paying attention …” for me.

That’s my kind of smart, competitive comeback.

Did anyone else hear the Columbia coach say, in response to being asked about playing SEC competition (paraphrasing): "Yeah, but Vanderbilt was picked last in the SEC. We should beat them." Think maybe that stung Coach Ralph a bit and got her fired up? Check what she says in her post-game ...

Very cool that they got to see Wicked on Broadway!
Vanderbilt's program is in such great hands!

NOT more than I love Vanderbilt's staff, don't get it twisted!

Oh I love her!

The grad transfer route sure makes a lot of sense for VU.

Did anyone have Harbison with 16 first half points on their bingo card?

Harbison sure looks like a great fit! The Commodore press is smothering. 19-9 after 1 Q.

Thanks for the detailed guesses/projections! Looking forward to seeing what the injury-depleted Commodores look like this evening and hope there will be some pleasant surprises. WKU can be a tough place to play.

Go get 'em!

I tend to agree with the opinions of previous posters that adolescent bodies really weren't designed to be punished, er, trained the way today's athletes train. Jump higher. Run faster. And do it year-round. The athletes themselves are such high-achievers and become obsessed with more more more. The...

These injuries are so depressing.

Heal up, Commodores!
I know the team will compete, but trying to make noise in the SEC when your legit top players are out for the season is really rough.

They're sure going "all in" on saving an old, oversized basketball (and soon volleyball) arena. Like the new logo, they're just going to keep repeating the same talking points and hope that eventually, people will start to believe it. I know Memorial has history. I've been at some of the b...
