The Official Tennessee vs. #6 Florida Game Thread, 4:00pm ET, ESPN

[AZVOLSFAN]

I hope the AD is thinking about giving Richard Pitino's agent a call...

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

Derek Reese is not SEC caliber. I don't care what his stats were vs tennessee tech.

reese, Q, Pops all played today. All non SEC players. All playing on the road vs final 4 caliber team.


high comedy

 

[OrangeBalls]

I know, what kind of unranked gets behind against a top-10 team on the road?

We are playing worse than the talent that is on the floor. That's on the incompetent coaching staff who are lost.

 

[golfballs]

I didn't expect to win, but I also didn't expect to get the doors blown off. This is just bad

 

[vols 30]

So how tough do you think it is for Stokes to keep his composure and tell the rest of his team to pull their heads out of their freaken azzez?

Very hard. Of course Cuonzo should be telling the team this.

 

[utvolz98]

We may be a bubble NIT team.

Seriously, who wants to go to the NIT? These players have shown twice in the past two seasons they couldn't care less.

 

[Sandvol]

We may be a bubble NIT team.

And lose in the first round.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Dribble out of the press, either create a foul or charge. Standin aint workin.

 

[k-town_king]

Seriously? Can you not tell this team is horribly coached?

Thats not the problem. The gameplan was good. Get it in to Stokes. If he is doubled kick it out and get a good shot. That would have worked except no one will hit a shot besides Stokes. Add on horrible refs and this is what you get. Martin can't hit layups for Maymon or open threes for McRae or drives for Richardson.

 

[MadcapLaughs]

Vols backcourt play on both sides has been disappointing.

 

[Z06Vol]

Wow...when this team is bad, it's really bad. Never seen such awful shooting.

 

[OrangeBalls]

I must have mentally blocked out that A&M game. I honestly forgot we lost that one.

Heh. How? That was a crushing loss. Worse one of the year to me.

 

[SCowlsVOL]

If I'm stokes I leave after this yr no matter what. Probably won't be drafted but he deserves to play with a better team than what's out on the court.

 

[olbemw7]

Are there still any cuonzo apologists left after this game?

 

[508mikey]

is Peterman going to play as a walkon today

 

[PEPPERJAX]

The offensive game plan for the VOLS in this game is a thing of beauty.

 

[volman126]

Most teams who are poorly coached are inconsistent And our coach SUCKS!

 

[DocVOLiday]

just throwing up shots

mcrae is 1/12

 

[golfballs]

McRae 1-12

:shakehead:

 

[GBO18]

Not having a pure shooter is devastating.

 

[Buddr]

Dave Hart needs to pull a Pat Haden and not let Cuonzo (Bozo) back on the plane, tell him to find another team he can make a living off of!

 

[Volumnus 2011]

If Cuonzo isn't going to press, then he needs to find his best 7-8 players and play them. Pops, Reese, Edwards, and Chievous need to sit and stay there.. Just kills me...

 

[volroadwarrior]

Embarrassing. As we sink further into mediocrity.

 

[1985Vols]

Yeah and Martin also can't coach them on how to break a press. He's a joke and you know it. I'm done until we hire a real D1 coach.
