Chris Lofton shooting slump?

[zstinnett]

i know everybody is talking about how chris lofton is in a shooting slump but i want everybody to know that he will break through and still be the best player in the sec . . . maybe even the country

You may be proven correct by the end of the season, but isn't it great to see that the team can win with a less than stellar Lofton? It has been against inferior opposition, but uplifting just the same.

I do not believe he will win SEC POY or achieve 1st team all-american. Pearl has made a statement early on about this rotation. I think the most Lofton has gotten so far is 23 minutes or so. Most all-americans get 35ish depending on how deep their team is.

I'm assuming as the tough conference schedule rolls around that he will rotate a little less and keep Lofton in there longer for close to 28-30ish minutes a game.

just wondering, has he started off slow the past couple of years?

He was 2-7 at this point last year.

He's 1-10 right now.

when we need good FT shooting and ball handling, he'll see tons of minutes. I suspect his 2nd half minutes will go up dramatically as the competition stiffens.

I'm convinced.

Lofton will come out and dominate every one tonight

Chris will be fine, he's notorius for these slow starts. Saying that, I don't think he'll average 20.8 ppg agains unless we're pretty beat up. Just wait till Texas and WVU and you'll see the same ole C-LO

1-10? He's hit 2 FGs...and he's shot far more than just 10 times too.

Or are we talking 3's???

3's.

He had 1 slow start last year in the opener then he laid down 30 against Fordham. Nothing like a 4 game (2 exhibition) stretch like this one where he's been this off. Plus he admitted he was in the slump well before the first exhibition game started.
