This team is so Jeckyl and Hyde that it is impossible to really pull for them wholeheartedly.

They just panic when they feel pressure and play stupidly. That has been our trademark for several years now. There is just something endemic in our program that produces this sort of performance because we have seen it across two coaches and several sets of players now. They get caught up in their own heads and play in their fears instead of the moment.

It is really ugly to watch even when they win.

this teams' problems are passing, no offensive identity, poor defense, and up and down emotions with laziness as well. no motivation. I think it is the players as much as it is the coach.

The garbage performance in the first half just isn't a surprise anymore. Maybe they'll turn it around in the 2nd half, but when you spot a good team 14 points, it's tough to dig out. We just don't seem to show up for big games anymore. I'm hoping that I'm wrong. however, I'm not confident. Comebacks in the first couple of rounds are hard. Comebacks against Sweet 16 caliber teams are even more difficult.

Hate to say it, but the announcer just said that this score is "shocking." It's not really. We gotta figure out how to show up for big games again.

In order to have a chance to win this game execution in the first seven minutes of the second half has to be flawless. We have to cut this lead to at least to five.

We don't get by Louisville even if we were to come back. Were not a team that can effectively pass the ball or know a good shot from a bad one.

A bad weekend for Tennessee sports even though softball won their first game. Losing the second one 6 to 4 right now. Third game we'll see Ellen again hopefully she will be on her game.

Right or wrong, TN is not measured by making it to the Sweet 16 (They've made it there 32 of 33 times)- they're overall season and coaching is judged by what they do after making it there. It's not looking good but I'm hoping Holly can make the better adjustments and get us out with a victory.

Simmons likes to shoot and that is great when she is making them today she has missed two easy layups and her last three threes.

I'm gonna start out watching the second half if we play anything like that first half I'm calling it a season. I can't watch another half of horrible play by this team.

We had all of last summer to work with Russel on inside moves, strength and quickness. Let's hope this is a priority this summer.

Maryland called our team out and they choked because of it. They did not accept the challenge that Maryland and their coach threw down that is not acceptable.

If this were a hunt instead of a game, it would be time to call in the dogs and piss on the fire, the hunt is over.

Its like they don't know how to embrace the big moment and playing with confidence they instead look scared and intimidated which is actually sad.

Missed the first half. Thought you guys had this. Obviously I was wrong. Don't worry though, I brought my rally cap so we're good. :)
