I don't think there will be a shortage of fans considering Duke, Kansas, and Memphis are in the field. If you're that worried about it, you should take action by buying some tickets and make the trip. I sure as hell would if I had the money.

UT basketball is the only reason to go to Hawaii

Yeah, after the way last season ended, UT fans would have been headed to Hawaii in droves had idiocy won the day and Pearl been retained.

Yeah, Maui always has such a tough time filling the gym for the tournament.

Most fans will probably stay home and ESPN will probably cancel its coverage. Why go see scrubs like Mike Krzyzewski, Bill Self or Ben Howland coach when Bruce Pearl should be roaming the sidelines?

The only people upset that Bruce Pearl isn't coaching are the other seven coaches in the bracket. I'm sure they were going to be up all night trying to prepare for Pearl's great offensive strategies.

My God. I hope you're not serious.

I was wondering where your little gang had been hiding hat.

I'm sure the tournament won't have any problem filling that small gym, but there won't be much orange there.

The Maui reps are going to be devestated. Thousands of UT fans would have made the trip if we hadn't wrongfully fired Pearl.

I'm debating on starting a thread, maybe with a poll, asking if coach Martin will get booed at his first game at TBA. I'm guessing he will. Interesting idea? Dumb idea?

Yeah I'm sick of the way our football team plays. I hope they'll be better this year, but shizzy coaching and a lack of effort have turned me off from the football team. Doesn't mean I'm not going to watch the games or not cheer for us. I just don't understand how you could resent any program within your favorite school.

Why is it OK to only support UT football, but it's not OK to only support UT basketball?

who are you talking about? Most fans I talk to want the UT bball to be good. I grew up watching our bball team get their ass beat down every week until lately. Question is? Will UT do what it takes to keep us on top or just let us go back to bottom where we have been for over 50 years.

your profile says you're 34yo which would mean that's not true

No, not because he's black, but because he's not Bruce Pearl. I refuse to believe that all of our fans will welcome or show respect to him.

you mean he's not going to lie to the NCAA, get fired and get UT bball hit with sanctions? Why are they booing again?

I don't understand what you're trying to say. I'm saying that a lot of our fans are ignorant and intolerant. I wouldn't be surprised if he was booed because some people may be upset that Bruce was fired. I've made it clear that I really like Cuonzo and that I think Bruce had to be fired.
