That Armani Moore played two minutes the entire game.

Am I missing something? Can the staff not realize good things happen when he plays?

For the life of me I can't figure out why it's like I'm always seeing a different team every time they play. Can they not play (or coach) up to compete at a better level of competition? Just sayin'.
GO VOLS!

The little " behind the scenes" they did at one of Cuonzo's practices that was aired right before the game told me all I need to know about why we play like an "uncoached" basketball team. Compare that to the one they did on Tim Floyd and it all becomes clear now.

Went to bed pissed off and just woke up and the first thing that came to me was, we really did just lose to UTEP. Not the University of TEXAS, not Texas A&M, not Texas Tech but Texas of El Paso! Say that a few times and let it register. I'm still just as mad as I was last night. Wow

Maybe I am wrong. I envisioned this team as a run and gun team. I was hoping we would use our depth on the perimeter and open the floor to wear other teams down. Last night Stokes thrived when we opened up the game with his rebounding.
Why Moore is not playing is a mystery to me. Hubbs and others seem scared to make a mistake because they will soon find themselves on the bench. We have no rhyme or reason in our substitution pattern and after three years of coaching our offense cannot adjust to changing defenses. When we went to our zone UTEP ate it up without having to call a timeout.
More concerning than all of the above is the lack of passion and fire from the team and coaches. Where is the urgency and hustle? If McRae had turned pro, we would possibly be winless this year.

I know i was looking forward to seeing a good basketball team after the crapfest of a football season. Guess that isn't happening either.

Thanks, I am in the same boat as CarterVol. After football, I was hoping for some excitement from the basketball team. I am more of a football guy than basketball, but this actually hurts more than football. With CBJ I see some hope, with CCM - not so much.

I have defended CCM the whole way. Until now. I am not a great basketball mind, so I try not to say too much, but it's almost like a random selection of players each night. I don't get the lineup at all. It seems like CCM only performs when his back is against the wall. Big margin, he presses and goes uptempo, losing record, he goes on a run in February. I don't get it. There is no excuse for this, no defense for this at all. I have always rolled my eyes at those who pointed out his lack of fire on the bench, but I now think it really is a factor. Watching last night was beyond frustrating. It's almost like he thinks he has a 10 year guarantee. I still think he gets year 4 barring an epic collapse.

Bruce isn't coming back and I really hope CCM works out, but if not, Gregg Marshall has been a top name on my list since 2001, and still is.

I thought the same thing. That was the most pathetic bit of coaching I have ever seen. How could the players learn anything from that.

I looked and it appears I don't have the Axs channel. Got a 1,000 other worthless channels but not it. Maybe for the better. I wont have to watch the **** show now.

Martin won't last past this year unless he pulls a rabbit out of his hat. If attendance dwindles, he's screwed. Hart better get it right. If football and hoops go into the crapper, he'll be looking for a job too. They need to clean house in the admin area anyway. Until they do, we'll still hire unqualified people.

What was Mike Hamilton thinking. Probably about his $1,000,000 exit clause. I want to work for UT because you can be a failure at your job and still make a mill when your fired
