That shot to end the half...

[NationofVols]

Basically sums it all up with the Vols the past two seasons.

You've got to have a low basketball IQ to have that sort of thing consistently happen to you when there is under 10 seconds to go at the half or at the end of the game.

We have a team full of players with low basketball IQs.

Fortunately there is enough talent to keep them competitive.

[tumscalcium]

Yeah, that was rather ugly.

 

[allvol123]

Yep. Just ridiculous.

Any Pearl defenders care to tell us how we don't know anything about basketball and he's a good coach?

I am sure he knows more than you. How many pork rinds u polish off so far today?

Whenever I start to question him as a coach, I just remind myself of what UT basketball was like before he arrived.

Good come back. That is the bar we should be setting, a coach that knows slightly more than the fans about the game. Nice.

aren't you the one who's more of a UNC fan anyways? (just asking)

That's terrible logic.

 

[tumscalcium]

That's terrible logic.

That's a terrible response. Only team to finish ahead of Kentucky for 4 straight years. Two wins over #1 teams, a very temporary #1 ranking, beating Florida 3/4 times (the one without Lofton) when they won their championships. Consistently in the tournament. Consistently ranked, a lot of fun to watch. Yeah, Pearl is an absolutely terrible coach. I wish things were back to the way they were before......

 

[volroadwarrior]

My complaint is that we have too many show boats and can't shoot foul shots. That missed lay up by Hopson just illustrates the point.

Uh no.

Great defense of his coaching.

I think it's safe to say he is better at his profession than u are at yours.

Again, marvelous defense of our coach. Keep them coming. Who cares if our players never develop.

Judging by things like winning, representing positively, and a future of tremendous promise, then I would call him tremendous if not the best in UT history.

You may have other criteria.

Spoke to soon fool. Way to early in the game for that garbage.

Vols win. One of Bruce Pearl's McDonald All-American recruits wins it on a 3 point bomb under direst. Took this kid right out of Kentucky too. I wonder if Devoe would have gotten him on the team?

Nice job again coach. 8 out of 9 against Billy Donovan and the Gators including the B2B NC teams. You have raised the bar so high around here. Some think it has always been this way.

Go Vols. :dance2:

It was ruled a two, they had the score wrong on CBS after the shot.

This post makes me chuckle. Have you been under a friggin rock dude? When Bruce Pearl came to Tennessee, we were the laughingstock of SEC basketball. Jokes were made that our girls team could beat us. In his short time here he has turned this program from probably not even top 10 in the SEC to possibly top 10 in the nation. In the past two years we have beaten two number one teams, been ranked #1 ourselves, he brought great attention to tennessee basketball, brought in amazing recruiting classes (this years is # 3), and won more than any coach in the SEC in the past 4 years. And he is just getting started. And you sit on your couch complaining about how bad of a coach he is? C'mon man, we all know he is the reason Tennessee even plays on national TV and is as good as we are now. Give him a little credit
