Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Vandy shocked everyone by jumping out to a big halftime lead on Kentucky, only to lose the game after a double-digit swing the other way. First it was Vandy blowing a seven-point halftime lead in Lexington a couple of weeks ago; this time, Vandy coughed up a nine-point halftime cushion to lose the game and the cover, 78-64. You hate to see it.
Let’s first address how things were in Vandy’s favor in the first place. The Commodores could. not. miss. in the first half, hitting eight (E-I-G-H-T) three-pointers before the break.
