Vanderbilt defeat AIS

Vanderbilt kept their unbeaten tour record intact by defeating the AIS 118-106.

"They did not keep stats this afternoon, just scoring, so I can't give you as much information as you are probably hoping for. Leading 26-19 after the first quarter, we extended the lead to 65-45 at half. We had five players in double figures for the second straight game, led by Jermaine Beal with 25. Jeffrey Taylor (20), Brad Tinsley (18), Festus Ezeli (17), and AJ Ogilvy (13). Charles Hinkle had 7 points, while Darshawn McClellan added 6 points."

From coach Stallings: "Unfortunately this afternoon was easily our worst performance of the trip. I was not pleased with our defensive intensity. It was a step back from the first two games. Hopefully we will make up for our performance on Friday night."

Who's playing for the AIS - I assume all the Emus except Hugh Greenwood have moved on?

I believe the team is still all there

Think most of the kids heading out to the States leave next week, Im assuming most wanted to play the 2 NCAA teams to see what they'll be up against overseas.

It was the same AIS team that played all of the SEABL season. So guys like Jordan Page, Mitchell Young and Matt Dellavedova who are all headed to Saint Mary's played, including against their new team SMC the other day!

I agree with you OT Fan. 14 our of 15 from last season are returning and they have a likely first round NBA selection player in our own AJ Ogilvy in the paint. Someone like Beal could also get picked up late in the draft.
Why else would coach Stallings fork out $100k of hios own money to finance their Australian trip if he did not think his team was a serious threat and chance for a run at the NCAA tourney this season?
The one difference Vandy have this season compared to others is depth. When AJ arrived the team relied on both him and Shan to score the majiority of their points. Now they have up top 5 guys who can get it done.
I hope they do well.
