I am starting to see what a lot of people are talking about bc of Bruce....

why didn't we use out last TO to draw up a play? stupid!

The LAST thing we want is us inbounding into a half-court offense. If you watched the preceding 39:55 minutes, you'd know that.

 

[Goliver24]

I hate Bruce for not ever calling a timeout in these situations. Very winnable game but we give about the poorest possible attempt we can come up with.

I agree. the shot selection was not the coaches fault, but he could have saved one of those and called it then and got a play setup.

 

[utucla]

same team as last year's.....same results.....too many stupid unforced errors....too many bad shots in the half court.....

 

[TheVol]

Coaching has nothing to do with that. THat was a dumb player mistake.

Wrong. It was a bad shot, but Pearl should have called a timeout way before the shot.

 

[B-Stizzy]

Now its time for the panic brigade to hit the nation.

 

[TennTradition]

Eek....that last play hurts. You have to think that tyler or wayne should get the ball inside there.....why was Wayne that far from the basket? That was an exciting game....too bad we didn't walk away with the W.

How big is the missed free throw by Brian Williams now?

we shot extremely well from the FT line so it's not his fault

 

[Volunt33rs]

This makes me wish we didn't try that failed alley-oop as our first play when he was wide open.

Pathetic.

How big is the missed free throw by Brian Williams now?

I'm pretty sure that he wasn't the only one to miss a free throw tonight. That's not what lost the game.

Can't only blame Williams. Hopson missed one that would have sent it to overtime and others missed all during the game. I would be more worried about the missed shots at point blank range.

Yes, a one point loss to the number 6 team is pathetic. :ermm: For those of you who started watching basketball 2 weeks ago, please educate yourselves on the past.

 

[TBrown]

those hats would have looks sweet with our unis.

 

[armchair]

The Vols are too damn stupid to be good. One of the team's problems last year was Chism hoisting up threes all the time. You don't hoist a three when you're down one with seconds left--that's street ball. You go inside and/or try to draw a foul. It's fundamental basketball.

 

[mch317]

WTF was Maze thinking just standing there dribbling? You're the damn point guard ... GET THE OFFENSE MOVING IDIOT! STEP UP! Lead your damn team. If you can't do it, give the ball to Tyler who we know will do something with it.

 

[ukvols]

We cannot win a tournament.

No joke. What do we need to do to win a tournament? Any tournament?

 

[volwindy]

ugh I'm so mad

 

[jakeman4]

How do you put this on Pearl? He had us in PERFECT position to win and Weezy of course can't help himself.

 

[oUTKickedCoverage]

Hi... Good to see everyone treating a one point loss to the #6 team in the country in a rational manner.

 

[GAVol]

OK . . . I'm a little upset, but some of you guys clearly need a drink or something.

 

[TheVol]

I hope that was a joke, because Purdue is #6. We could have won but not should have won.

I'd be more worried about shot selection.
