if found please return to Bruce Pearl.

Seriously if he doesn't shoot better we are toast. Everybody will defend Lofton on every inch of the floor if nobody else is making shots. He was the sidekick of the best scoring duo in the league and was god aweful vs. LSU. Somebody has to make shots to get pressure of Lofton, and Jajuan has to be that guy.

That was a physical game and they played their hearts out. I hope they draw a Friday-Sunday bracket and get some good rest over the next week. We'll need fresh legs to advance in the big tourney. Go VOLS!

It wasn't just his shot, he seemed to make some terrible decisions. For instance, last possession of regulation tied up and he bombs the long one that has been off all night instead of driving or passing to someone to drive. All we needed was a chance at the basket and draw a foul for the win.

I agree, he was pressing and his decision making was not good.

Being in a Dome probably didn't help him much either.

yea he always seems to make some bad decisions to me. his ability to make some big shots has overcome that though. lofton and childress were 6-12 from 3, rest of the team 1-19. i doubt childress goes 3 of 4 ever again, so the other shooters better show up in the next game or it'll the last of the year. this game exemplifies why i am more worried about the matchup than the seed we get in the ncaa.

Childress is a much better shooter than you're making him out to be. Now that he has some confidence from making a few in game situations, I expect that he'll continue to knock down shots.

He really hit some key 3's last night. A 5 point lead against us last night was more like a 12 point lead with the way our offense was sputtering. Was glad to see him step up and make them. 9 points from him will be valuable in the NCAA if everyone else does their part.

I think Jajuan is a good open shooter, really good defender, ok driver, and decent of the ball mover. He isn't Lofton and the sooner HE realizes that the better the team will be. His decision making is his most questionable attribute and he has an amazing ability to make me throw things at the tv.

Granted JaJuan was 0-7 from 3 last night, but lets not all gang up on him, Chism was 1-7 overall, and 0-5 from three. JaJuan wasn't the only one screwing up.

Chism makes questionable decisions at times too, granted he's still a freshman performing in his first SEC tourney.

i feel like chism shoots really well from 3pt land or he can't hit the backboard

I think that JaJuan was feeling a little bit sorry for himself. He has got very little praise from the coaches or media and I think he was trying to prove that he needs a little more attention. Sorry JaJuan but I believe you are getting the wrong kind of notice. Do your job man and everyone is a winner.

Chism does take some questionable shots, but he is just a frsh, and its a learning process. Jajuan is older and should know better. I think he just wanted to carry the team, but he's got to be smarter than what he was or he's going to kill us. Plus i'm sure he wants to be better than Vince

This was the main reason UT lost against LSU. No inside game, during UT winning streak they were getting points in the paint.
