I'm so frustrated with Pearls decision to set Tatum while watching JR get swatted and McBrick launching duds. You let the kid back on the team because you see that he was not at fault but still treat him as he was guilty by not giving him his minutes??? I don't want to hear anything about him not playing for so many games and needing to get the feel of things before his minutes increase. Pearl is being a complete moron for this decision. Seriously, why can he not see that Tatum is one of the better players on this team. He's good on defensive. Decent behind the line, can dish the ball out, and can explode to the rim. I'm confused.

Tatum was good in the time he played. No idea why Pearl just HAD to play his son in place of Cam.

Freaking ridiculous.

The pass he made at the end of the Georgia game was probably the best pass all season as well. You can tell he's even more hungry when he gets a chance to play. Bruce is pissing what little chance we have at a decent season for some kind of moral issue in his brain or something.

You can't be serious.

Um yeah. I'm dead serious. If he's as liable as it was made out he was than why is he back on the team and Tyler kicked off, Brian still MIA? Being kicked off the team really has nothing to do with it. The point is.....he is ON the team. He IS a good player...and HE'S NOT getting a chance.

Just because he wasn't kicked off of the team doesn't mean he was sitting in the car like a saint. I think one of the major reasons he's still on the team is because he's a sophmore.

Yes, he is on the team, but that doesn't mean he isn't still in the doghouse. Oh, and Brian will be back in 7-10 days.

And I sure can't wait for the one player that makes Stephen Pearl look half decent to return. You might be right on the doghouse part, in fact, you have to be. But he needs to get over it. It's done with. He's good. Let 'em play.

Haha, I almost can't stomach watching B Will play either, but if we had him against UGA we would have been a lot better off.

I think Tatum's minutes will steadily increase. Especially after tonights game.

Why does Pearl insist on playing Stephen Pearl by watching him play tonight I realized that he cant even play with the kids at Holy Cross.

I just don't think there is anyone else. We are thin in the front court, especially when Hall and/or Chism get in foul trouble.

Tatum and Goins minutes will increase. Pearls, McBee's and Bone's will diminish.

Then it will depend on who is playing well and who is not.

Bone, McBee, and Woolridge were playing well against Kansas and Miss. Since then they have all been MIA.

Jenkins from Vandy is a 5 star recruit shooting 49% from 3 pt range. Mc Bee is a 2 star shooting 29%.

At point, Beal is shooting 36% Maze is shooting 18%.

Cam is hitting 39% and Woolridge is 38% but they both have to shoot almost set shots for their threes. Pretty good athletes but neither a pure shooter.

Bruce has a problem and we are going to see a lot of zones because our outside shooting is not very good - no matter who we have in.

Next year it will get better with the freshman guards but plugging in Cam is not an instant fix. We could also use Williams to take up space, get some rebounds and commit a few fouls.

Cam played 14 minutes - got one rebound and didn't get himself open to take a three.

Prince, Hobson, and Hall have to be on the floor more for us to have a chance against good teams in my humble opinion.

Maybe you have forgotten. Tatum was driving a vehicle while out drinking and all smoked up. No way that he should even be back on the team. You want your family out on the road while these guys are out there "making mistakes" as some want to describe tha incident? Another good one is "wrong place wrong time".

The KPD disagrees with your assumptions.

Tatum passed a sobriety and drug test..so why speculate otherwise. Just because he was mislead by the supposed leader of our team?? The dude is young and got caught up, he will grow/learn from this incident. He is still a great player and we need him more than ever.

If you don't play a zone against Tenn you should be fired as a coach.Say what you want but the fact we don't have shooters or we ruined them after they got here is on BP
