INDIANAPOLIS - In the first game after trading for Dario Saric and T.J. McConnell, the Phoenix Suns put together a great team effort to top the Indiana Pacers 108-100. After a shaky defensive start to the game, the Suns shut down the Pacers in the second quarter, eventually stretching their lead to as much as 14 points. Indiana would fight back to make the fourth quarter a back-and-forth affair, but Phoenix pulled it out in the end to get their 5th win of the season.

Devin Booker led the Suns in scoring with 24 points, but this was a team effort that saw 5 different players score double digit points. Booker struggled shooting from the field, but hit two big 3's in the last minute to ice the game. The big advantage for Phoenix came in bench scoring. Donovan Mitchell led a second unit that outscored Indiana's bench 37-14. The big addition for the Suns, Dario Saric, had a nice game himself. Saric totaled 16 points and added 8 rebounds to his line. For the Pacers, balance was not in the cards. Carmelo Anthony had his way for most of the game, scoring 34 points on 15-25 shooting. The second of the two-headed monster was Myles Turner, who scored 20 points and had 14 rebounds.

Next up for the Suns: @ Atlanta Hawks (6-10)

SACRAMENTO - The Suns drop game one of the new season 95-90 to the Sacramento Kings. In a battle of two rebuilding teams, the Suns' own sloppy mistakes kept them from getting into the win column. The Suns shot themselves in the foot all night with careless turnovers, which ended up doing them in in a 5 point loss.

Newcomer Rudy Gobert played a great game in his first in a Suns uniform. He notched 15 points and 16 rebounds to go along with 7 blocks. He looked like a Defensive Player of the Year candidate early and often. Devin Booker scored well overall, but shot poorly from 3 point land down the stretch. Still, the two stars for the Suns came to play. For the Kings, highly touted rookie and first overall pick Freddie Staples led the way in his first career game, scoring 20 points and adding 6 boards. Other than Staples it was a balanced attack for the Kings that wore down the Suns and eventually pulled out the win.

Next up for the Suns: vs. Golden State Warriors (1-0)

After a tumultuous and disappointing season saw the Phoenix Suns go a measly 15-67, good for the worst record in the NBA, they turn their attention to a loaded draft class and improving a young team. Devin Booker was the lone bright spot on the team, averaging 21.2 points per game. Josh Jackson had a disappointing rookie season, averaging just 7.3 points and 3.3 rebounds per game. He'll look to improve on that next season.

The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Miami Heat 4 games to 3 in the NBA Finals. Russell Westbrook won MVP, Ben Simmons won Rookie of the Year, Jeremy Lin won Sixth Man of the Year, Andre Drummond won Defensive Player of the Year, Kris Dunn won Most Improved Player, and Mike D'Antoni won Coach of the Year

PHOENIX - In a battle of two teams that figure to be fighting for ping pong balls rather than rings at the end of the year, the Phoenix Suns dropped their second game of the young season to the Los Angeles Lakers. This one was close throughout, with the Lakers holding a slim lead for much of the second half before closing it out.

Devin Booker led the way for the Suns with 30 points, but he shot just 3-15 from beyond the 3 point line. Much of these struggles occurred in the 4th quarter, where Booker struggled mightily. He played 5 more minutes than the next highest in the game, and it looked like that took a toll on him in crunch time. It'll be interesting to see how coach Jay Triano plays with his rotations to keep Booker fresh down the stretch of games. Lonzo Ball led the Lakers in this one, scoring 24 points in just his second NBA game, looking nothing like a rookie.

Next up for the Suns: @ Los Angeles Clippers (1-0)

BOSTON - The Milwaukee Bucks got their 2017-18 season off on the right foot by defeating the Boston Celtics 85-78. This was a low scoring and slow-paced affair that saw the Bucks dominate throughout, despite the final score only showing a 7 point victory. The Bucks jumped out to a big lead in the first quarter and never looked back in what was a wire-to-wire win to start the season.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, to nobody's surprise, led the Bucks in this one. Giannis finished with 34 points and 9 rebounds on a hyper-efficient 15-21 shooting from the field. He showed he's on an MVP mission this season. Kyrie Irving led the way for the Celtics, finishing with 22 points, but it wasn't enough, as he struggled mightily in the 4th quarter as the Celtics tried to muster up a comeback.

LOS ANGELES - The Rams got another big win to start their season, winning a shootout with the Washington Redskins 40-37. This game started slow, with the only scoring in the first quarter being a field goal by the Redskins. After that there wasn't much defense played in this one.

Jared Goff led the way for the Rams' offense in this one, throwing for an astounding 410 yards, along with 2 touchdowns. He did throw 2 interceptions, but they didn't come back to bite him and the Rams in the end. Todd Gurley scored 2 big touchdowns, but he struggled to get going on the ground for much of this game. Gurley finished with 76 yards on 21 carries. Goff's weapons took a significant hit in this one, however, as Sammy Watkins broke his collarbone on a play in the second quarter. He'll be out for around 7 weeks. Guys like Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp will have to step up in his absence.

The defense struggled again in this one, but it was both the run and pass defense this time. Newly acquired Tevin Coleman ran all over the Rams for 195 yards and a touchdown. Kirk Cousins added 315 yards and 3 touchdowns of his own, but was picked off on a 4th down on the last play of the game by Nickell Robey-Coleman.

LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles Rams opened their second season in LA with a win, beating the Indianapolis Colts 24-21 to get in the win column early. It wasn't always a pretty game, but the Rams got a win in the end. The Colts jumped out to a quick 7-0 lead on the first possession of the game, driving down the field on the Rams defense with ease, with the drive eventually ending in a Robert Turbin short touchdown run. The Rams came back quick with a long touchdown pass from Jared Goff to Tyler Higbee on their second offensive play of the game to tie it up. After that point the scoring slowed a bit, but a back and forth effort eventually ended with the Rams running out the clock to escape with a 3 point win.

Todd Gurley carried the Rams offense in game 1, rushing for 109 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries. He figures to be the centerpiece of this offense all year. Goff started the game with a bang, but much of the rest of the game was downhill from there. He rushed for a 9 yard touchdown run on a big 3rd and goal late in the first half to give the Rams a lead heading into the break. It wasn't all bright, however, as Goff threw 3 interceptions in the game, including 1 on an end zone pass to Robert Woods that left the Rams leaving the field empty-handed.

For the Colts, they found most of their success through the air, both with Andrew Luck and Jacoby Brissett. Luck suffered shoulder injuries late in the first half and early in the second half, causing Brissett to relieve him on both occasions. Luck came back in the game after both injuries, and he had a lot of success against this Rams secondary. The numbers aren't spectacular, but he had few issues throwing the ball in this one. Outside of a late interception by Trumaine Johnson that helped seal the game for Los Angeles, the Rams can't be satisfied with how they defended the pass in this one.

Season Recap

A season that started out promising ended in a disappointing fashion as the Vanderbilt Commodores were completely outmanned in the Chick-fil-a Bowl by the #18 Florida State Seminoles. Florida State 10-3 (7-2) dismantled Vanderbilt 6-7 (4-4) by a score of 52-31. Many experts wondered why Vanderbilt was invited to a bowl such as the Chick-fil-a Bowl, and those critics looked to have a point. In the end, Vandy wasn't expected to do a lot this season, and finishing the season by going to a bowl game is considered a decent season for the Commodores.

NASHVILLE - This was an old fashioned dog fight that went the way of the Bulldogs tonight. Vanderbilt put together a great effort against the #11 Georgia Bulldogs, but in the end it wasn't enough, as Georgia came away with a 7-3 win. This moves Vanderbilt to 4-3 (2-2) on the season and brings Georgia to 6-1 (5-0) on the year.

Neither team got much of anything going on the offensive end of the field in this one, as the lone touchdown of the game was scored by Georgia's Nick Chubb in the second quarter. Chubb was able to rush for 134 yards and a score in this one, but he was the extent of the offense. On Vanderbilt's side, usually reliable Ralph Webb coughed up a fumble in the red zone in the first quarter that killed a promising drive. He wasn't able to get much going, finishing with just 57 yards on 20 carries. Quarterback Kyle Shurmur played relatively well throughout most of the game, throwing for 179 yards, but he too turned the ball over in the red zone in the first half, throwing a pick near the end zone to stop another potential Vandy scoring drive.

The Commodores had a shot to win it in the end, despite all this, but were stopped on a 4th and 1 from the Georgia 7 yard line with just under 3 minutes left in the game. It was a tough decision to go for it on 4th down, but with less than 3 minutes left, down 4 points with an offense that struggled to move the ball all night, it was the right choice. Nick Chubb was then able to seal the deal with a 44 yard run on 3rd and 1 with 1:30 left in the game.

After this game, the Commodores did receive several commits from high school recruits, shown below.

Mid-Season Update

The Vanderbilt Commodores have come out of the gates this season with a 4-2 (2-1) record heading into their week 7 bye week. This is the start the Commodore faithful was hoping for, but they have a tough stretch of games coming up. In the next 5 games, Vanderbilt plays #11 Georgia, at Texas A&M, at #21 Florida, and at #19 Tennessee. This will be a true test of just how good this 2013 Vanderbilt team is and can be.
