I thought I heard something on Vol Calls about him being named for national player of the week. I wasn't listening very close. But, I thought I heard something. What's up with that?

That's a good FT% for some players, much less a 3-pt %. Put him and JJ in a shooting contest and it may last all day.

Arrange that game and I'm willing to bet that those "tricky" TV contracts would suddenly have room to get that matchup on the air...

Haven't seen this posted.
ESPN's Andy Katz....

"So, tell us why Lofton, who stuck it to his home-state Wildcats last Tuesday, isn't the lead candidate to be SEC player of the year? No reason? We thought so.

Lofton has been perfect for Bruce Pearl's system and isn't getting enough national recognition. If he keeps this up, he'll probably be the SEC player of the year and be a second-team All-American. "

Way to go Big Orange, way to go.
