Did They Quit?

Something I never thought I would think about a Stansbury coached team crept into my mind last night.

Did they quit?

Last night's home loss to Tennessee, apparently a damn fine team by the way, was humiliating.

1. Stansbury's worst loss as a head coach, ever.
2. The team shoots 5-27 from three point range.
3. Dietric "I'm out of ideas" Slater contributes next to nothing on the offensive end (2-8 from the field)
4. A whopping 20 points from teammates not named Rhodes, Gordon or Edmundson.
5. "For the first time all year long, that team whipped us," Bulldogs coach Rick Stansbury said.
6. "We saw it in them early in the game that they were winded," Tennessee's JaJuan Smith said. "We just kept trying to run them, and it worked." (that kind of comment has to sting)

If that doesn't sum it up, this statement does, "Our team is not very good right now," Stansbury said. "It's been one thing after another with us. There's no magical speeches after that game."
