What has happened to him? He’s regressing the past few games, not a good sign. We need him and quickley to be the focal points with maxey pitching in here and there too. Only 5 shots taken the past 2 games and only 1(!) the game before that. Earn your money and fix it Cal.

All season you have hated on the coach and all of the players.Enjoy.
How is this hating? Man some of y’all are really really dumb. Do you also think Richards taking one shot in a game is a sound offensive strategy?

Defensive is focusing on him now more than before. That and he can’t grab the damn ball to save his life

I agree with you on him tonight. While his defense was putrid he busted his *** to get open and our guards didn't pass him the ball. EVERY big man to ever play the game is going to get pissed off and frustrated when their work isn't rewarded.

Since Quickley emerged as the probable SEC POY Richards hasn’t been the same. Richards dropped his head a lot tonight.

A lot of teams are collapsing on him in the paint as soon as he touches the ball. Been that way for a couple weeks now. If you want him to shoot while being double or triple teamed instead of kicking it out then go right ahead. The guards don’t reward him in the post as much as they should but he is an obvious part of the opposing teams game plan now

He regressed to the mean he's not very good. Yeah he's improved a lot from what he was which was a total liability but he's still a very limited center. The white kid for the vols looked like nikola jokic against him

Rough stretch for Nick. He's gotta get over this and get back to being dominant Nick again for sure.

I think our guards want it to be all about our guards. The team is kind of divided between the bigs and guards right now. The guards look for one another much more than looking for the bigs.

He’s a solid jump shooter, does cal have any plays to get him an open 12 footer? Or does he like watching EJ and Ashton throw up brick after brick?

Nick has not been working hard enough to get himself open. Cal and Kenny have both said as much.

He does seem to have weak hands for a basketball player. Tonight he was stripped several times, and he struggled handling the ball above his shoulders on a dunk. There was a fumble before that dunk. And then the ball went off his foot or leg a couple of times tonight. That reminds me more if the Nick from last year.
