1. A lot depends on who is healthy. When Chatham and/or Mann are available, the team seems to have more toughness - mental and physical.
2. QMB has made huge strides, but still struggles against elite bigs.
2a. Teams like KY with elite talent everywhere AND elite bigs are going to be too much to handle.
3. Excepting the above, this team has enough talent and skill to win just about any game.... and enough weaknesses to lose just about any game.
4. I don't think we will see VU getting blown out very often.
5. I don't expect this team to win any SEC games by blowout.

All good points. I hope we get to see a stretch of games during which all of the players on the roster are available to play.

Not trying to pick on the OP, I promise! I like the intent of the post and agree with everything said. That said, I have seen so many variations on Rodney Chatman’s name (most commonly, “Chapman”), I just want to put it out there that it would be nice if we could spell the young man’s name right out of respect for his representation of VU.

Yes, it rhymes with Batman. He is still waiting on his sidekick, Robbins.

Dang, good catch nyyankeeDore. :lol: Hopefully before the season is over we can get them on the floor together.
