I was one of the many (along with Tubby and Traitor Rick) who didn't think Chris Lofton could play big-time college basketball. Not big enough. Not quick enough. Not tough enough. And on and on.
Well, I may have been wrong.
Chris Lofton has made the transition from high school to college look as smooth as his jump shot.
The former Mason County star and Kentucky Mr. Basketball poured in a team-high 19 points and shot 5-for-7 on three-pointers to lead Tennessee to a 73-67 victory over Wofford in the Volunteers' home opener last night.
"Chris Lofton has the right mentality, and I think maybe he won the game for us down the stretch," Tennessee Coach Buzz Peterson said. "He did an awfully good job to help us win."
Lofton has started all four games for Tennessee (2-2) this season and is averaging 13.8 points. He is 15-for-26 from beyond the arc (57.7 percent).
