Title: Looking grim for the hoopsters Post by: Jethro on February 22, 2016, 09:20:31 EST http://www.si.com/college-basketball/2016/02/22/ap-bkc-tenessee-punter-injury
Punter has a stress fracture in his foot. We were borderline to make the NIT anyway. It may be doubtful now. Too bad. He was really playing well. (most of the time) Title: Re: Looking grim for the hoopsters Post by: Black Diamond Vol on February 22, 2016, 09:28:03 EST We're 13-14 (I think). Even if we were to win out (short of winning the SECT), we probably wouldn't have made the NIT. Sucks for Punter, though. :frown:
Title: Re: Looking grim for the hoopsters Post by: Clockwork Orange on February 22, 2016, 09:38:26 EST Definitely sucks for Punter but this will mean some great developmental time for Shembari Phillips. There could be some future dividends from this, if one were to look for silver linings.
Most of us didn't expect any postseason play this year, right? Title: Re: Looking grim for the hoopsters Post by: BanditVol on February 23, 2016, 01:28:33 EST The rest of the team played really well against a pretty good LSU team with him out. As good as he's been and as much as I appreciate his contribution, the team may have been depending on him too much and may actually do better without him.
Or not, but younger players will have to step up and he is gone after this year anyway. Title: Re: Looking grim for the hoopsters Post by: Tnphil on February 23, 2016, 03:38:47 EST JMO...but it's never good losing the 2nd leading scorer in the SEC. But I agree...it will get us started early on next season.
