Cameron Tatum is the Arian Foster of basketball...

THIS^^^^

How many games now have we lost where we had a chance to win it in the last 30 seconds?

Enough to keep us out of the NCAA tournament.

I just don't know what to think. I'm just furious at this team, at Pearl, at Goins, at Tatum, at Hopson, and really at everyone involved. I can't even put this on the refs despite the fact that a lot of you will.

Is there any reason to even look forward to the game against South Carolina? I hate every single player on this team not named Williams or Pearl (and don't even ***** about Pearl. Once again he played a strong defensive game).

 

[Supravol22]

Nice use of our 2 timeouts as well, Bruce ****ed this game and Tatum just helped

 

[lylsmorr]

I believe this is six.

Strategic genius. Pearl is an excellent X's and O's coach, as many on here have pointed out before.

 

[utkCREW]

if I was tobias harris, i'd take my talent and transfer to a real basketball school....playing with our bunch of idiots only makes him look worse poor kid.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Those calling for a timeout, I don't know if it would have made a difference. I blame Melvin Goins on our late game failures as we have called time before and the ball always seems to be in his hands as he dribbles the clock out and takes the last shot, play calling be damned

Who's the coach who keeps letting it happen?

 

[lawgator1]

We got absolutely screwed again in SEC play. We have lost at least 5 games because of officiating this year. There was a 15+ point difference in bad calls tonight. It happens to us at home too. Still should have hit those free throws though. The couple we got tonight.

There were more than a few that went the other way. Especially towards the end.

anyone post CP's stupid comment on why he coached this game will be appreciated

Thing is, if he calls the T/O, sets up a play, and it doesn't work, no one is critical. But to not call the T/O -- and it looked like your players glanced over expecting it -- is a pointless gamble.

This game wasn't lost on bad officiating. Are we going to use that excuse everytime we lose?

Goins never needs to be on the floor for a last second play like that, let alone have the ball.

 

[TrueOrange]

and that gives UF the big sweep

 

[UTCorey]

Tatum is such a chump

Agree 100%, I knew when he bricked that ft it was over

We had the game in hand. Tatum does a choke job at the line. We deserve to lose.

 

[CannonVol]

Ugh.

 

[vol_in_ar]

With the game on the line, a Goins 3-pointer is not my idea of a good shot.

doubt Pearl approves of it either

 

[FlVols]

How sad of a game. And how horrible Pearl coached this game at the end. We should have won by 10-15 but we started playing it safe! It's not looking good for us this year. Oh well. Sorry I live around all these Gators down here.

Tennessee's success rate on crucial last possessions this season is disappointing. I would love to know the actual numbers.

There's no reason at all to be pissed at Hopson tonight. The others you listed deserve all the Hell they get.

[Vols4life]

I say we make scotty the pg at the end of games...anyone is better than goins

 

[Voldemonium]

Not understanding some of the Tatum hate. Yeah he choked but Goins dribbled the game away.

 

[govols120]

Didn't mean to list Hopson, not thinking clearly right now.

 

[CardassianVol]

Because he missed those free throws? Get real.

It isn't an either/or situation. Pearl was as awful as the free throw shooting. Effort was there this time.

well, if it doesn't work, many will show up critical saying it was a bad play and a stupid call to make for your win-the-game-shot


not advocating either side here of course

 

[PennVol]

This is the worst coaching staff in college basketball with the game on the line. We are badly missed foul at Georgia from being 0-all of them in the last minute of a game.

 

[DERELICK_MY_VOLS]

OH NO.....we suck again!

Man football season is 1,000,000 months away
