LAJ’s Krista Pirtle writes about the questions the basketball team had after Tubby Smith left for Memphis.

His teammates, a group that usually cracks plenty of jokes and brings life to any room it enters, were just as solemn.

Their glances went from their phones to random places around the room as if someone magically had the perfect answer or the solution would be revealed on one of the white walls.

Tubby Smith, the coach most of them were recruited by and the man they put their trust in to lead the way, was moving on to Memphis.

RRS’s Will McKay interviewed point guard Gio McLean:

Q: Why do you think everyone on this team, whether a returner or newcomer, has bonded together so well so quickly?

“No egos. There aren’t any. At this stage, there should be a whole lot of egos, cause everyone really wants to pursue a career in basketball after this. But, on this team, there are no egos. Everyone buys in, and everyone works, hard, and that’s what I’ve loved about it. It was a great decision for me to come here.”

Football

Rest in peace. LAJ’s Don Williams reports that former Red Raider footballer Tom Wilson passed away yesterday. Wilson was the quarterback during the Donny Anderson era and I’d ask you to read Williams’ article. It’s terrific. Wilson contributed big-time and he will be missed.
