Wow, just looked up his stats and Boogie seems to be doing really well.

Alo is definitely the most frustrating.
I’ll agree with that one. He is definitely hard to watch at times. Every third or fourth game he plays well, then the next game it’s back to the same thing. One step forward and two steps back. That was ok and understandable 3 years ago but now it’s mind boggling.
Yeah, if ALo has improved, it has been very little. He is basically the exact same player he has been since high school.
Makes me wonder if it is just ALo, or if Penny isnt able to development guards. Taking a look at what Boogie is doing now, it is worrisome.

RE: Can anyone name a least liked Tiger player ….
I was routinely frustrated with Will Barton. His selfishness, at the very least, cost us a game against UTEP at FedEx Forum.
Alex plays hard, plays for his teammates, and is unselfish. I think he will be much more fondly remembered than Joe Jackson, a player who scored over 1,500 points, had over 500 assists, and 300 rebounds in his career.

We all didn’t like Wesley Witherspoon but not this much.
You have got to be a total jerk to even start a thread like this.

If anyone wants to critique someone game then fine but keep it respectful…they play their tails off and I saw a few comments that were over the top and unacceptable.

A disgrace
Please remove this
Take your insecurities, that play out on a message board because you are disappointed that kids, a lot of Memphis kids, lost a basketball game, and find something else
We get it. Fans take an outsized emotional interest. That is what makes it fun, the vicarious WE in terms of winning and losing. And while some reaction or criticism is normal, this level of targeting a Memphis kid who dedicated his life to Memphis and to Penny and to the University of Memphis, but is not as great a player as many hoped he would be, and looks to max out as solid but flawed, is just cringeworthy (and more)
We get the raw conclusions, gee this team was over rated gee Bates was over rated, and I understand why people would make those conclusions after 6 games of a career, but for those who care about these things, this sickening thread should be a wake up call
Saw the funny joke in last night’s thread about breaking Lomax’ legs. Really funny. He has become the odd poster for so many’s assaults. And no, your critiques are not purely about basketball. We recognize that.
Done
blah blah blah.. as always.

We have Lomax for another year, correct?

Boogie is now playing in a structured disciplined environment too I bet. If he was still here he'd still be struggling, not knowing his role or what's consistently expected of him.

RE: Can anyone name a least liked Tiger player ….
What's so frustrating about Lomax is his ability to negate a fantastic play with a subsequent one equally as bad. He has the ability to be a stud, we've all seen it. What he lacks is the ability - or maybe it's a matter of determination - to maintain at a high level with any degree of consistency.

I honestly can’t think of anyone else. Will Barton is the only one. How about coaches; I’m not very fond of our all-time winningest coach.

Penny has tried to recruit PG. JD Davison, Skyy Clark Shirone Cooper, and for whatever reason it didn’t work out. I just hate how the ball sticks with Alo.
