We beat Tenn (without Lofton without Lofton!!!). We beat them soundly. The players were ready to go in that game.

That 21 number is not league play. That is for the year. But his league average happens to be the same.

I'll repeat once more so many can understand my point. I do not place the ENTIRE blame at Tubby but he does deserve some. Even though we've played some quality teams, more was expected, at least from me. If the problems are with some of the "regulars" on the floor, it's time to move on to see what the young guys can do. A mistake is a mistake whether it's made by a freshman or senior....and to be honest, the freshman deserve the benefit of the doubt and be held to a slight lessor standard since they are new and mistakes are more readily understandable. Sure, the seniors and juniors make mistakes as well but they should be held to a slightly higher standard since they know the system much better. My I think that's right. I love Bobby Perry and Sheray Thomas, but I think it's time that they start backing up Stevenson. Our production at the 4 is so bad right now that we simply have to do something, even if it is wrong. I would jump Stevenson at center, Morris hasn't won a tap for us all year. We need to get more aggressive. How many fouls of aggression, like over the backs, have we seen lately? None. We are playing the game as if it were tiddlywinks instead of basketball. OMG I agree!

We need to get more aggressive. How many fouls of aggression, like over the backs, have we seen lately? None. We are playing the game as if it were tiddlywinks instead of basketball. OMG I agree! Let me clarify slightly. I don't really care who Smith starts, but I want to see us get some taps. Morris seems incapable, so that leaves only Stevenson or Woo, and I don't think Woo is an upgrade over Morris in that area. Therefore, it only makes sense to start Stevenson. I think Stevenson should immediately begin getting most of the minutes at the 4. Stevenson is much more productive offensively than either Thomas or Perry have been per minute played and his defense and rebounding seems to be improving, so I think it's time for the seniors to sacrifice for the good of the team. But if Stevenson is still dogging it in practice, as Smith seemed to suggest earlier in the year, I would forfeit my argument and insist one of the seniors start. Bad practice leads to bad habits and bad play. Bottom line - you may want the seniors in there late in the game for ballhandling and stability purposes, but I think the minutes need to go at least 40% to Stevenson, with the other 60% being split by the seniors as the situation demands. And let Stevenson jump center, for goodness sake - I'm tired of us loosing every single tap.

I would like for us to get a tip every now and then too. Stevenson would take care of that IMO.
