Ziegler > Gillespie

[VolFreakJosh]

Ziegler played with heart and fire.

A true leader and an ambassador for Tennessee basketball.

Gillespie looks like he’s just out there playing for a paycheck.

His effort in the final minutes was very poor.

I actually think Gillespie wants to be here, he's just not ZZ and really, no one else is either. Z.Z has that dog in him that Gillespie doesn't.

Yes and it’s not even close

Welcome to the world of modern college sports. The true VFLs are a thing of the past now. If you are thinking of blaming this loss solely on Gillespie then you don’t watch it.

To single out Gillespie is pure ignorance. The whole team is under achieving and to lose to that UK team at home is an indictment on Rick Barnes.

You're right. Boswell missed FTs down the stretch too. Carey missed some layups

No where in my post was I solely blaming Gillespie for the loss.

However, his careless turnovers during the final minutes pretty much killed all the momentum we had to close out the game.

Maybe, but his good play is almost canceled out by how absolutely terrible he was the last 5:00 or so.

Ziegler was an elite defender. Gillespie cannot prevent the drive to the basket. Gillespie perhaps a tad better offensively but overall not even close!!

We've known this

My point is its not fair to compare the two. ZZ had several years to develop here. Barnes chose not to recruit Gillespie out of HS or when he went to Maryland. Gillespie wasn't good enough today, and neither was the whole freaking team. They look like they don't care and to lose to uk like that at home makes me sick.

CRB recruited JG hard last year but JG wouldn’t come to back up ZZZ.

According to his family this is incorrect.
