Vandy Allegedly Defeats Tar Heels in Private Scrimmage

Ok before you start going crazy Vandy fans, this alleged defeat of the Tar Heels in a private scrimmage is not completely official. However, thanks to many sources ( another source) there is reason to believe that it is true.

To give a quick history lesson, fellow coaches Kevin Stallings and Roy Williams are former Kansas alumni and they agreed to a home and home private scrimmage prior to the 2008 season.

Apparently the NCAA allows teams to have one private scrimmage to their choosing per season.

Last season's exhibition game was in the Chapel Hill, North Carolina area and the eventual national champs made work of the young Vandy team and won by around 20.

Just recently however it is speculated that Vandy won this time around by double digits without the services of AJ Ogilvy. Much of this information comes from tweets ( I can't belive I'm using that word) from players invovled with the teams.

Now if this is true, then when the hell does basketball season start?? Forget football season!

In all seriousness, there is already great things happening with Vandy men's basketball, and all of these you can definitely confirm are true.

First off, coach Stallings took the team out to Australia over the offseason to compete against professional and semi-professional teams that obviously had a lot more experience than these kids that wear the black and gold.

Despite playing much more experienced players, the Commodores won three of their five games in the land down under and that is something you should be happy about if you're a Vandy fan.

If you follow the men's basketball team closely then you've already heard about this great recruiting class that's coming in for the 2010 season. Two of the recruits in this class are ranked in the top 50 in the nation.

They were recently picked to finish third in the SEC East by the media, but my SEC basketball preview will be coming up shortly so stick around for that!

It would not surprise me if this rumor is true. We see upsets all the time in college basketball and an upset in an exhibition game is even more possible.

A small D-II school in Syracuse called Le Moyne defeated No. 25 Syracuse this past week by three in an exhibition game that was not private, so these things can definitely happen.
