I think this is about where most 'Dores fans figured our team would be at the end of non-conference play when the season. I know I certainly thought this team would challenge for a top25 spot at the beginning of the year.

To me, the most interesting story lines of the non-con schedule have been: 1: Big Fez dominating opponents, despite limited minutes and 2: Point guard play. I'm not sure, even with his early season triple double, that I would ever have thought Tinsley would turn out as good as he has (Mizzou being the exception).

If this team can stay healthy in conference, I think Vandy should finish no lower than third in the East and challenge for the top spot. Although, I am sort of worried than the Vols may resurface at some point and give us fits.

I think it's noteworthy that Vanderbilt is one of only 2 SEC teams ranked heading into conference play.

I'm looking at the schedule and not seeing too many "Ls" in the foreseable future given play to date. The 1 game that will be a probable "L" is on 2/1 when we play in the O-Dome.

Honestly, it would not shock me if VU wins the next 7 straight games, and then the next 4 games.
