After watching us get beat by Ole Miss, I know we are going to have a disappointing end to our dismal season. The biggest thing I see that is going to haunt us in the SEC and NCAA tournaments is our lack of leadership. No one is stepping up. We have three upper class men on the floor and none of them want to step up and lead this young team. Case and point, Darius Miller past up a wide open three point shot in the closing seconds of the Ole Miss game and it ended in a shot clock violation. A leader takes that shot, a leader wants that shot. DeAndre Liggins plays with a lot of energy, but he basically is running around like a chicken with its head cut off because at the end of the game we have no point production, no rebounds, no assists, and a bunch of fouls. Big Josh goes hard in the paint, but he is not a scoring threat, so no one guards him if he is five feet away from the bucket. It's not completely their fault though. I mean you look a last years team and they were just role players, while the freshmen ran the team. Those guys are use to playing in the shadows, so this year they are doing the same thing, playing in the shadows of Brandon Knight, Terrance Jones, and Doron Lamb. We cannot afford to have players not producing both offensively and defensively. We only play six players on a regular basis. We only have nine all together. BIG BLUE NATION, we need everyone giving their all and not just watching or we could honestly loose the rest of our regular season games, and it does not get easy from here on out. Time for some guys to step up, right now! Saturday we will find out what kind of heart we got, if we got any. Will the real Darius Miller PLEASE step up!
