1. The worst performance of the Cuonzo Martin era. An embarrassment and a ridiculous performance that I personally have never been more horrified to watch. I wish I could cleanse that filth from my eyes.

2. This offense will never be fixed while Cuonzo Martin is here. It's just a fact. There's no hope. And the defense is too inconsistent to give UT something to hope for.

3. Where was the press? Why not once? You are sucking anyways, why not just try it to see if that works? Maybe because that would actually take an idea?

4. I want to go to Atlanta and personally apologize to Trae Golden for thinking Antonio Barton was a better fit for this team. Antonio Barton played the worst game I've ever seen at UT with the PG position. Cuonzo deserves 95% of the blame for how this season has played out, but it doesn't help when your point guard doesn't know what the hell is going on most of the time. He looks completely lost and is letting his defense affect him.

5. Jarnell Stokes and Jeronne Maymon are nice players, but you will get abused inside with them on defense and that's what happens on defense. They don't rotate well and their lack of length doesn't contest shots.

6. When will these players learn you can't gamble on defense? Too many times they stupidly went for steals that cost them points.

7. Bernard King Player(s) of the Game: The Tennessee fans for having to watch that gutless performance.

8. Jarnell Stokes has not gotten better since he arrived on campus. That is a complete failure on this coaching staff and an indictment on them.

9. The good news? Darius Thompson is the real deal. He's the only redeeming quality today.

10. Screw this performance. Their was no heart from the coach, no heart from the team, no heart from anyone. I'm angry and I believe I have a right to be. You come home and you put up that kind of performance? What kind of heart do you have? It tells me none. They didn't want to be on the court and I feel bad for the fans that spent their money on the game today. I don't care about excuses. I don't care about what's wrong. Cuonzo Martin better get this fixed or he will be gone. At this rate, it's not going to be. An embarrassing performance by this team. If you can't get your team up for a game like this, you need to reevaluate everything with your program because it's not working. Right now, this program is failing. That's on Cuonzo Martin and if I was Dave Hart...after seeing that kind of performance...Martin would be on the hot seat.

I'm Cuozo's biggest supporter. But I think I'm done and he's done. This was just embarrassing.

Once again, agree with all you've said. I feel bad for putting other things on the back burner to watch this.

I'm ready for a new coach. I really don't care if we dont get more W's from him. But I want to see exciting basketball with players who are motivated and energetic. Martin is imprinting on these players, which I think is a great thing off the court, but it's hurting us in games. He'd be a great team counselor, he's not a division 1 coach.

How can you support THIS?!!! What do we have to do, lose out the rest of the season for all of your supporters to see that this man is a joke of a coach and has no business putting on a suit for the next game!!

I hope CCM gets fired. It's best for the team. Hamilton is a moron, and Hart isn't much better.

I think this game just sealed Martins fate.

We always say this crap about CCM getting fired and guess what, the man gets a raise and an extension. So until they hire a coach that can motivate the players, we'll have the best last team out of the NCAA tourney coach. Congrats, Go vols!

Wow!!!! How in this world can this talent laden team play this utterly unmotivated and unintelligent. Sorry. I have lost all confidence in Coach Martin. Great man. His team is just really bad!!!!

I definitely put too much blame on Trae. Not surprised though that CM turns a career 44% shooter from 3 in Barton into an ice cold kid that doesn't want to shoot anymore. If CM doesn't leave, Thompson will suck offensively under more coaching as well. Every other player outside of Mcrae turns into **** offensively, and its mainly due to horrific spacing.
We get zero lanes to the basket to attack. Zero. Pass it to the block or shoot a 3. That's it.
Disgusted. Hubbs, Mcrae, jrich...could beat their man every time to the rim but never are given the chance.

I'm happy I arrived home at 8:00 and flipped through every dead period with the DVR. That way, I wasted one hour instead of two, lol.

Did you guys hear the commentators say when there was about 2 minutes to go in the game that our bench has 7 guys in suits and no one knew that NCST was not in the bonus. I was sitting hear screaming to foul and we allowed them to dribble for 20 seconds and then fouled.
