12 turnovers between Zion & RJ didn't help.
Yeah that hurts. But I place more on Cam. He laid down on the team against VT, and got a chance to redeem himself against Michigan St, yet only scored 8 while playing 37 minutes. Needed more out of him.
You both make sound points. We had a little inner turmoil we didn't need the same fateful weekend as well.
Dan the shot attempts you duly noted by RJ and Zion were part of the problem. Zion should have had the 18 attempts (at minimum) per game.
I agree that Zion should have shot even more, especially considering he shot 68% from the floor. That is insane. RJ played 35 mpg to Zion’s 30 mpg, so that is part of the reason.
Sorry to hear it for young man, but didn't think anyone but us had foot injuries! OFC
Yes. NEVER wish injury on anyone and he has plenty of time to heal since it's only June. However, Kentucky is in big trouble. I wish we played them rather than MSU in champ classic cause we would wax that ass for a 3rd straight time.
I’ve heard he’s going to St John’s. Mommas boy that wants to be close to home. Came out of nowhere according to Tennessee folks. He was all good and going full tilt at practice Tuesday and then dropped this news with no notice. Think it got put on Twitter before he even spoke to Barnes.
Also imagine Josiah James coming back vs going pro had some effect. He came back to UT and wasn’t on a scholarship, as Barnes had already filled all his scholarships up. Happy for JJJ that he’s back on scholarship. He took a big risk because he could’ve gotten paid (along with a full scholarship) to a lot of places but turned it down because he wanted to finish at UT. Class act.
All of this UT and Petino info is really interesting...not. Waste of space. Do not care how ut and St. Johns' recruiting is going. Put that crap on their sites where someone really cares about it. OFC
Many college athletes in many sports at many schools transfer back home to be closer to family, Calling them "mommas boys" doesn't seem especially productive.
If your posts involved a player Duke had shown inyerest in, I would not complain about a post for the sake of posting. As long as you continue to post stuff unrelated to the purposes of this board, I will continue to call you out on it. And if you explain how a post is relevant, I will apologize for calling you out. Has not happened so far.
Wish I could skip over the Lounge but it’s like Jerry Springer…..I can’t look away.
Chris, it looks like I have been soundly outvoted and will crawl back into my Budweiser and lick my wounds. Sorry for any rudeness, and I can see your point. Sometimes, being an OFC curmudgeon, I just cannot help it. OFC
It’s actually true, but even if he wasn’t extremely close with his mom and just very homesick in just 2 months away from home, I would call him a Momma’s Boy. I equate having to dip out after 2 months with no notice to the staff as being homesick. Homesick & momma’s boy are the same thing to me. I was a momma’s boy and don’t see it as taking a shot at a kid.
If @Devilinside has a problem with the Ledlum and UT info then run your mouth at me, not Chris. He was just responding to my posts. Now go away.
You are a little late, my friend. Already posted my apology to Chris. Too bad you did not read it before posting. So it seems you got all uppity for no reason. Just calm down, and everything will be just fine. OFC
Mommas boy is offensive? 😳. Last time I checked it was a description of one who is close with their mother, and tends to be pretty common when said male doesn’t have a father in their life.
