I'm also not a fan of players who need to put up a ton of shots to get their points. I do think ISU will have more talent next year than they did this year, but their guards need to shoot higher percentages (which I think they will).

While I think this comment is hilarious, I think it's pretty fair to say that both Colt and DJ's efficiency numbers, though perhaps not overly-conducive to 25-win seasons, make Lofton look laughably bad.

Lofton has apparently been dismissed from Minnesota's team.

@Pg_Benson: RT @GoodmanESPN: Minnesota coach Richard Pitino dismisses junior guard Zach Lofton from the program. Illinois State transfer.

I knew this guy was a head case. I'm glad ISU got rid of him when we did so we could use that roster spot on potential! Not gonna say I told you so but....

I'm guessing "realized marginal talent wasn't worth cancerous attitude and multiple years of scholarship spots"

Zach Lofton was a cancer for the ISU program. Not surprised he's now officially gone at Minnesota. No head coach wants to deal with an absolute headcase.

It's addition by subtraction for the Redbirds.

Wufan, this comes from the Pantagraph:

The Minneapolis Star Tribune said Lofton participated in Minnesota’s open scrimmage on Sunday and “was seen arguing with teammates and apparently snapped at a couple times (by coaches) for his poor body language.”
