I think an hour of free throw shooting each practice is in order Coach.
Same as Missouri, they make half their freebees, they beat WVU.

Fun run while it lasted for both teams. It just makes you sick for the Srs.
 
WE RAN A PLAY TO PRINCE??? ARE YOU SERIOUS??? Great year so it's hard to ***** but I hope (1 and done Hopson) would go on to Turkey now. I never criticize a college players ability but Hopson play's like a scared little girl and has no passion and absolutely no competitive spirit. Pearl should be ashamed of himself for allowing Hopson to stay in this game. Everyone on our team minus Hopson deserved to win. Pearl did a great job this year but he cost us this game. Even the last shot by Hopson was in panic. I am sure Pearl instructed the team to take the clock down under 5 then go. The play should have been to Chism in the block. I am getting more and more pissed thinking about Hopson. Hard to win playing 6 on 4............I know tomorrow I will hear Hopson talking about his great defense. sickening.........................
 
As an outsider, your team is laughable.

Hopson clearly does not give a **** about playing.

Steven Pearl is god awful, anyone who says otherwise is a moron. He can't convert looks, he can't defend, he can't shoot, he can't run. Is he honestly on this team?

I watched OSU yesterday, I didn't know he was related to Bruce at that time but it was clear that he sucked. It all made sense once they said it was his son.

What is this? Little League? Get him out of the game, hell he doesn't deserve a spot on virtually any D1 team.
And what team do you cheer for, exactly?
 
I for one am so proud of you guys......you played your heart out and lost by "1" point to a team that is going to the final four for the second season in a row....sounds like a good run to me....

"I SAT IT'S GREAT TO BE A TENNESSEE VOL, I SAY IT'S GREAT TO BE A TENNESSEE VOL!!!!!".....

Only those who had the Vols in the Final Four of their office bracket should be disappointed- they were impresive and suprised a lot of people including their own fans.
 
And what team do you cheer for, exactly?

And what relevance does that have, exactly?

The point here is that Steven Pearl is absolutely awful.

Diverting the main point to challenging who I like is stupid. Tell me why Steven Pearl should be on the court. Tell me anything that he does well.
 
Cant come out flat the first 8 minutes of the 2nd half in an Elite Eight and expect to win...

This team could have fallen apart when everything happened. Coach Pearl did a great job of keeping them together and getting to this point. My only issue is his son...he is no offensive threat at all...screwed up the 2 on 1 break..just isnt a great basketball player and you would think we would have someone that can do a better job...maybe we dont?

All in all...one heck of a season...3 Sweet Sixteens in the past 5 seasons ( I believe )...20 wins every year....really thought we would win today and do believe we lost to a team that isnt even as close to being as good as us..we played that bad. I think Butler will beat them easily.

Great Season Vols!!

Lane is that you? You SUCK
 
You seriously need to get over yourself. Remember that botched 2 on 1 that mini Pearl threw to the other team? That was not so insignificant in hindsight.

Me get over myself? You are the one who considers yourself better than Steven Pearl. You are a worthless punk who shouldn't even be part of Vol NAtion
 
I'm Proud of Our Team. Hopson gave up on play after play as quick as things didn't go his way he would slouch and acted like he was to good to even reach for a ball! I'm surprsed every fan can see Hopson doesn't put forth effort and the better player Tatum is sitting on the Bench
 
I still dont know why Pear is in the game when you have Hall doing nothing but sitting on the bench,Pearl cant carry Halls jock.
It was a great run and very proud of this team and how they fought in this tourney.
