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.

Thompson, Barton, McCrae, Richardson, Stokes. That should easily be the rotation right now. Throw Hubbs and Moore in to the rotation and play Maymon only as long as he shows he is worth being out there. He is playing so sloppy this year. Stokes and Maymon isn't the masterpiece Cuonzo spent all off-season painting and hanging above his bed. It's worked very poorly so far. If he can't adapt, he's out this year.

On a side note, I remember watching the open practice and thinking to myself "my god, I hope this isn't what his real practices actually look like. If they are it's no wonder we have been mediocre the last couple years"

We are a NIT bball team. After it was over i switched over to Mizzou vs Northwestern game. The commentator......Bruce Pearl and his cohost asked if in his coaching days if he ever had a run like Missouri's? Pearls reply 6 straight NCAA appearances at Tennessee. Man I wish there was a way to get him back.

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!

Barton and Maymon played like **** and they still got more minutes than their backups. Pathetic coaching and a pathetic overall gameplan.

Also, every player would be running until they could not run any more with that pathetic performance at the line.

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 team will have to outtalent other teams to get its wins. This is a poorly coached team.

There was a comment late in the first or early in the second where the commentator said "Tennessee has problems when they play teams that are on their level like Xavier, and your seeing the same type of performance now."

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?

Dan Mullen and CCM is actually a good comparison

We need Pearl back, he would take the job for what we could afford to pay.

What's terrifying is, Floyd had a plan for McRae flawlessly that Martin had no answer for, and he STILL dropped 22 and 7.

How good would this kid be with a real coach or an offense that was built around him like it should be? 30 most nights? at least?

Out of curiosity, what were his practices like?
