The Vols will test drive their new ranking in Nashville, Tuesday night.

Vandy which had to play six of their first nine conference games on the road, have gotten healthy at home, where they will be completing a four game stretch of home games when the Vols come calling.

Vandy has the type of half court game that can give UT fits. The first meeting was a route in which the Vols sprinted to the front and cruised for a 20 point win.

Can Vandy hold the tempo and can they continue to singe the nets, which Shan Foster on the perimeter and AJ Ogilvy in the paint.

I like Vandy in this one.

IT will be much closer than 41 points.

They don't call you the best color man in the business for nothing....

^ HAHAHA

For some reason the first thing that came to my mind was around 6 years ago I believe when Florida got the #1 ranking ad their next game was a few days later vs. Kentucky in Rupp and the Cats took them "behind the woodshed" so to speak for a good butt kicking.

U.T. just got a huge in which has vaulted them into the #1 spot and now they go on the road to rival Vandy.

 

Vandy 77

U.T. 67

I'm going to pick UT by 5 65-60.

I think that this may very well happen.

I have a gut feeling that the 'Dores pull it off. A lot of teams hit #1 for the first time and seem to choke with it. It's a lot harder when you get to put on the Target instead of aiming for it.

Vandy should be no match for Tennessee. Vols by 12.

Bruce Pearl and Kevin Stallings get in a fist fight both benches clear and UT is forced to forfeit the next week to UK.

I'll take Vandy in a close one. Should be a barn burner.

 

Tennessee 68

Vanderbilt 73

Tennessee by 10

Vandy by 7.

Hard to go on the road in conference after an emotional win vs. Tigers. Plus, revenge time after getting behinds kicked in Knoxville. All the ingredients are there for an upset win by Vandy. Dores by a handful.

Vandy 72

Vols 65

 

Geting there is a lot easier than staying there.
