Official Tennessee at Georgetown Game Thread 6:30pm EST ESPN

lol if our football team had the basketball teams defense we would of won a lot more games.

 

[knoxville's finest]

Exactly tnvols I'm not sold whatsoever on Cuonzo. Same crap as last year.

Seriously? We have no ballers. All Martin can do is just try to get his team to play fundamental ball.

UT missed 4 straight FT's and turned the ball over 3 straight possessions and airballed on the 4th possession. Just terrible offensive ball. Their D kept them in it, but damnation, we have Maymon and we win that game.

We were 3-11 from the FT line. That's f'n pathetic. Kenny Hall continues to be a no show at times. I'd give Yemi his minutes and make Kenny come off the bench. I've seen a snail with more motivation.

I consider free throw misses a coaches fault.

 

[Amsterdam]

Yeah, I'm sure CCM drew up a play and said take a long three to win the game.

That's why I said that if he did it was a terrible call. Then again, there was a time out before the first shot, so the alternative -- that they just ignored him twice and did their own thing -- is just as bad. There was never an attempt to get inside.

Being a Vols fan is pure misery sometimes.

At least in football and basketball.

How is the baseball team supposed to be this year?

 

[Catbone]

Tennessee football defense = Tennessee Basketball offense. Fair assessment?

 

[volinreallife]

well at least they held them under 38pts. Our football defense couldn't do that most of the season

Beat me to it.

 

[smokey90]

Do you? you think that was wise play callling or what?

To beat a 2-3 you gotta drive to the weakness. pass the guards down the center jump shots from the free throw line.

Instead, we dont try to penetrate, pass the ball outside three times and shoot a long three. Horrible play call. HORRIBLE!

Do you understand now?

This

 

[armchair]

Teams that can't make free throws are usually BAD. This is what you get with modern players--great athletes but their fundamentals are pathetic. You think coach K's team shoots 3-11 from the free-throw line? A Bobby Knight team? A Dean Smith team? That's the line of a pretender if ever I saw one. Pathetic. Major college basketball players and they brick four straight with the game on the line.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Horrible final possession. Some Bruce Pearl ish right there.

 

[AZVOLSFAN]

Well...that was rough. Hopefully none of our future opponents will play in the zone against us.

 

[RikidyBones]

This is why Hubbs is key.

 

[Titans4Vols]

Well...Tennessee sports fans...We've still got the Grizzlies.

 

[knowthevols]

well at least they held them under 38pts. Our football defense couldn't do that most of the season

good one

 

[volinreallife]

They should if I am any team coming to play tennessee I play zone.

 

[Mullins2010]

Didn't look great...But we lost to a good team guys

 

[RikidyBones]

I consider free throw misses a coaches fault.

... Lol wut? :crazy:

 

[UT IE 95]

And you prove yet again that you are as lost as last year's Easter egg.

Not as lost as Martin ending a close game with 40 ft heaves again.

 

[GBO18]

I think we will be fine even better if Maymon comes back.

 

[1982Alum]

Well the SEC teams will be dying to play us.

 

[AllVols]

Sorry all, I'm out to dinner, what was the final?

 

[knoxville's finest]

I think we will be fine even better if Maymon comes back.

I seriously don't expect Maymon to play this year.

 

[GLDunlap]

This is why Hubbs is key.

I'm glad we got him but it's going to take more then one player. This team just looks scared on offense.

 

[smokey90]

Seriously? We have no ballers. All Martin can do is just try to get his team to play fundamental ball.

That last play was all on CCM. Got to pass it down to the post in that situation.

 

[OrangeBalls]

Can't believe Nichols didn't want some of this

Yeah, he'd rather lose to an unranked VCU and Minnesota team on a neutral court instead of #20 Georgetown by 1 point on the road without UT's most consistent player.
