Rick Barnes discusses ‘struggling’ Yves Pons and details how he plans on getting him going offensively

These days it’s really tough to find much wrong with the Tennessee basketball program. Rick Barnes’ crew has demolished Georgia and Missouri to open SEC play, bring their overall record to 13-1. Guys like Jordan Bowden and Kyle Alexander have seen the light come on in recent games, making Tennessee just that much more dangerous.

However, as Bowden and Alexander have stepped up, sophomore wing Yves Pons has taken a bit of a backseat. Despite starting, Pons only saw nine minutes against Missouri on Tuesday night. In his last four games, Pons has only registered 11 points and five rebounds in total.
