1. Pathetic. That is all.

2. I don't know why Coach Martin doesn't understand this, but Jeronne Maymon is a 20 minute a game player right now. Play the ****ing four guard lineup with Armani Moore. It's not hard to see.

3. As usual, Tennessee's starting PG sucked, and Tennessee sucked. Antonio Barton no showed this game. I don't know what the hell happened.

4. The traingle-2 box-1 threw Tennessee for a loop. I understand the first half struggles, but there is no excuse for the bad second half offense too.

5. But Tennessee defense was awful too. They shot over 50% from the field. UT has no paint protection. None. It's what is killing this team right now.

6. Tennessee would have won had they hit their free throws. That's one the players. You can blame Martin for a lot of things, but free throws is on the players at the college level.

7. Bernard King Player of the Game: No one deserves it.

8. I feel bad for Jordan McRae. The gameplan Tim Floyd threw at him definitely threw him off and his coaching staff didn't help him out at all. But you have to give better effort defensively. They picked on him all game.

9. This will be a point until I see it. What the **** is Martin doing not playing Armani Moore? Why is Q getting minutes? Where was Thompson? There is absolutely no plan with the rotation right now. It's like throwing **** on the wall to see what sticks. There is no plan.

10. A horrible, horrible performance that my eyes wish didn't see. Is there a way I can get the abomination out of my head? Any way? The goal is two wins for this tournament, but I'm a realist and there is absolutely no way it's going to happen. Xavier will run them off the floor0. I'm not usually this negative, but there is no other way to put it. You can hear the whispers become barbershop chatter for Coach Martin.

11. I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving. Be safe if you go shopping, enjoy your loved ones, and eat lots of leftovers tomorrow! Enjoy the holiday weekend!

This team might not even make the NIT. Once it comes obvious they're not going dancing, they might pack it in completely.

How in the world did McCrae end up with 22 Points? They can look this bad and it's honestly effortless for him.

This team needs 4 guards and press. Rotate maymon and stokes at the 5. We cannot score in the half court against any team with length consistently.

Martin has had my support, but he is quickly losing it. This is the same pathetic early season performance he's becoming known for.

Get it fixed quickly Martin, or get out.

Obvious CCM doesn't have a clue what he's doing. He's got to go and we MUST get a REAL basketball coach. Way too much talent to have to sit and watch the crap we're putting on the floor

Just Martin's usual Lethargic Road Performance.
I'd say get used to it.

Martin is a horrible coach. I am sorry but this team will have a poor year and lose games their talent says they shouldn't.*

Martin hasn't shown me any reason for hope. In fact, he has shown me the reason for despair.*

I don't like his style, demeanor and his lack of adjustments to what your opponent is doing kills me.*

I hope he is relieved of his duties.*

No way he makes anything out of this year.

This game is just like the Mississippi State game was in Football for me last year. I now have a large enough sample size to know without a doubt that this coaching staff is inept.

I've been patient and haven't been critical, but the way this season has started is just ridiculous. This was probably the only UT game Stan Van Gundy has ever watched and he broke down in detail why our offense and defense is terrible. How embarrasing is that?

Here's some optimism! Jordan McRae is still ****ing awesome! The kid is the real deal as a scorer and his length makes him tough defensively. But everyone already knew that.

Alas, we don't have a coach that can get him the ball in good scoring positions. It's all up to Jordy Mac to do it for himself. I feel so bad for the guy.

Jordy is probably the only reason I smile during the games right now.

Same here. I've defended him but this game is pushing me over the edge. There is no excuse to be completely outplayed by a mid-level CUSA team.

McRae will probably go to the NBA and be awesome and we'll be sitting here scratching our heads going "WTF?", just like we do every time CP houses a kickoff return or JH catches a game winner or Mychal Rivera proves he's a rising star at TE in Oakland.

Wasted talent abounds in Knoxville.
