Anyone else think Adu looks worn out?

[BonzoGoesToCollege]

He missed a couple of assignments on D and seemed slow with the help. I know Tennessee is physical, but it looks like the grind of the season might have caught up to him.

He looked like a deer in headlights to me. Probably hadn’t ever experienced that much of an *** whoppin before on a basketball court. Hopefully that shows him how to play physical. We desperately need a player down low who can match other teams physicality and be the garbage guy. We are a tad too finesse.

Howland said tonight he has a hip pointer from a couple games back

He was a " no show". Clumsy as hell trying to catch a pass or rebound. I think the game pressure got to him.

 

[Shmuley]

Hip pointer? Yeah, ok.

Must be a hell of a debilitating hip pointer to affect his hands

 

[msstate7]

Our post defense has been really terrible of late. I can see ado getting tired as an explanation. I do wonder if that williams’ flagrant maybe gave ado a concussion. Ado was just awful from that point on

 

[Shmuley]

He wilted. No toughness.

 

[Dawgzilla]

Hip pointer checks out. Probably got it from the way he throws his hip into opposing guards when his screen doesn't work.

This guy could rebound better than Ado last night.

Ado.

Its important to know the player's names.

Remember Jarvis

He was a " no show". Clumsy as hell trying to catch a pass or rebound. I think the game pressure got to him.

Watching Ado all year has been frustrating as he as struggle to hang on to the ball in traffic. I remember Jarvis being the same way as a freshman. By the time he left here he caught and hung on to everything. Ado will get stronger and he'll be better next year and the next.

 

[tbaydog]

I do agree but he has looked very strong the last several games and to come into this game and be a complete flop. ( If he has a concussion, different story. ) The magnitude of this game was in his head. I'd would rate him last night a 1 on 10 scale.

Hell, I do not think any of our players were mental available to play that game.

 

[whosyourdawgy]

After the flagrant foul on Williams, Ado laid there for a good 45 seconds in pain. He really hadnt played that badly up to that point. Williams was doing nothing and Ado was preventing him from even getting the ball. After that play, he wasn’t the same and kept holding his side weirdly and not his hip. Without him in the game UT destroyed us in the paint. Say what you want, but a healthy Ado would’ve helped us in the 2nd half. We got man handled.

Wouldnt say he came looked very strong in the prior game either. Sorta noshow'd against A&M.

Its his first year playing college ball...he isnt consistent...pretty common.

Have to disagree I thought he was terrible last night. Hands of stone worse last night then any other game. He totaled 1 rebound for the entire night and 3 points. His defense was non-existent last night. That being said he has improved over this season and either he was tired or didn't feel good last night and played really bad. Tremendous amount of talent once he gets a little stronger and matures he will definitely be a force.

Guess you you missed the A&M game.....

 

[Hump4Hoops]

On the plus side, Ado already looks much stronger than Jarvis was as a senior.

His potential is sky high.

No interest in a message board pissing match but this kid is a hell of a player. All conference. Led team in tackles. Has a pretty damn good excuse to not try, but he buckled down and worked. Good example for a whole bunch of deadbeats in our society.
