Good to see him get back into it.

Interestingly, Draft Express have taken him out of their 09 mock and put him at pick 12 in 2010. I wonder if a hot streak (and some Vandy wins) might get him back into the 09 discussions?

Vandy continued their mini-revival with Ogilvy once again leading the way in a 71-61 win over Mississippi.

AJ led his team with 17 points (7/12 shooting), 9 rebounds and 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block.

AJ and his Vanderbilt Commodores are currently battling the #11 ranked LSU right now.

Ogilvy is playing a blinder, and is on track to break his career-high in scoring as his team lead by 4 late in the 2nd half. He is currently on 27 points (12/16 FG) - his third straight 20 point + performance.

ESPN Gamecast Live: http://linky.com.au/0hkzk

Ogilvy scored a game and career-high 33 points on 12/17 shooting (9/14 FT) to go with 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocked shots in 33 minutes of game time.

It was AJ's 2nd straight 20 point plus game and the second straight game for which he has recorded a career-high in points. Ogilvy has now scored double figure in points for 24 of the 27 games he has played this season, one in whcih he has been plagued by injury. It looks like he is returning to form following a battle against a nagging foot injury (plantar fasciitis).

Vandy won today over Arkansas behind a double-double from AJ Ogilvy in just 23 minutes on court.

They will have to win the SEC Tourney to secure a berth at the NCAA Tourney.

ESPN Recap: http://linky.com.au/ifzdy

AJ and his Commodore's get a good mention via Andy Katz on ESPN today as a sleeper for the SEC Tourney and thus an outside chance at an NCAA Tourney berth if they can win it all:

"This year's Georgia -- a surprise team that shockingly wins the SEC tournament -- could end up being Vanderbilt. The Commodores, who drew the SEC East No. 5 seed, play Alabama in the first round, then would face Tennessee in the second round. Vandy has won three straight games, including a 13-point win over South and a victory at LSU. Australian big man A.J. Ogilvy is scoring of late and had a 33-point outing in the win over LSU. The Dores could be dangerous."

Ogilvy has been named to the 2nd All-SEC Team this year...not bad considering he was playing injured for most of it!

AJ's chances of an outside shot at the NCAA Tourney are over following a disappointing 75-82 loss to Alabama in the first round of the SEC Tourney today.

I'm not sure what actually happened, but AJ had just the 8 points on 2/7 shooting (4/7 FT) to go with 8 rebounds, an impressive 6 asssists and 2 blocked shots in 31 minutes of action.
