To me it all boils down to Patterson mom should have had the attitude that we should never say never. We can still win the SEC(Long shot), but I think the attitude got the team there if the first place. Second, Patrick is injury prone. What NBA team is going to draft him knowing he has been injured in the first two years of college basketball. To me he needs a full healthy year of basketball, and tell his mom to watch the words she says. To say that you are never going to play in the NCAA again is say that you aren't going to win the SEC. You just can't have that kind of mentality.

When does Patterson actually get a chance to heal his injuries. It has been reported numerous times that Gillispie has still practiced Patterson hard even through the injury to his finger.
