Is Mark Sears ready to take on Tennessee?

Transcript

00:00 Yeah, hey, coach, you just mentioned after the game how Mark tweaked his ankle.

00:04 Just how's he progressed this week?

00:05 How is he looking for tomorrow?

00:07 >> You know what, he's been able to fully practice these last two days.

00:11 He's not 100%, but we haven't held him out of anything in practice.

00:16 So it's progressing every day, so

00:20 hopefully he's better tomorrow than he was today.

00:22 But he's a leading scorer in the SEC, so

00:26 we're gonna play him if he's sitting close to 100%.

00:29 >> Nick Kelly.

00:30 >> Yeah, hey, Nate, Zaki Zeigler has, I think, one of the top assist rates in

00:37 the country.

00:38 What about his ability to distribute the ball, makes them effective and

00:41 helps them out?

00:42 >> I mean, so fast, he gets in the paint so frequently.

00:47 And when he gets in there, he draws a crowd, and he's unselfish and

00:51 makes the right reads and kicks it out or drops it off.

00:53 So he's been causing defenses in this league problems since he got there as

00:58 a freshman.

00:59 So it's no surprise that he's at the top this year, but we gotta do a good job.

01:05 Trying to keep the ball out of the lane with him, he's just,

01:08 he's a little water boy, he's quick.

01:10 He gets it, he goes in transition, he's made them a lot faster team since he's

01:15 gotten there, and they put shooting around him and makes it even better for

01:20 him with the way that they've been able to space the floor a little bit more with

01:23 their shooting now.
