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.

The only complaint I've ever had of you(ZJC) is that you flip your opinion after every game.

I agree with everything you stated in the above report. I believe Davis and Hubbs need to be let loose on the offensive side of the ball, they cant be any worse than what we are seeing from Stokes or Richardson.

A night like tonight was a perfect time to see Moore come off the bench and provide a spark.

Also, why do you think we did not see the 4 guard lineup? If it happened in the first 15 min of the first half, i was not able to watch.

I don't even know how anyone can call Stokes a nice player. He's huge and plays small; he's strong and plays weak. He'll be in the NBA as long as Scotty Hop was, if he continues to play like this. Horrible, horrible game. Bruuuuce!! Haha I know Bruce won't happen, but at least the losses were more entertaining.

I've been inching closer to the edge this season, but now I'm officially off the bandwagon. There's no hope for a coach that turns in that "performance" at home with tournament hopes and his job on the line. I just hope this freshman class is only minimally affected by the lack of coaching.

I've said before, I do a game by game postgame report. Of course it's going to seem like I am flipping my opinions. I report on what I see from that game.

I don't know why Armani Moore doesn't play. It's stupid, idiotic. I'm a 20 year old college student and a part time assistant coach for a private high school team and even I know Armani Moore deserves minutes.

I'm done with Martin. Several opportunities for him to show emotion and act like he cared. He just cannot coach offense. I've tried to support him as long as I could but I'm with Zjc. There is no hope. We may still make the tournament but I'm starting to doubt. Can't wait for Turman and Cofer to get here so we can have some above the rim post players. Surely Hart won't allow this to continue if this season goes down the drain like it seems.

This team told us all we needed to know about how they are coached when they mailed in the NIT first rounder last year, IMO. Everyone says the NIT means nothing, but every game should mean everything! Hey, at least we haven’t had any Pilot store hold ups recently(holding my breath), so there’s some progress on the men’s basketball team.

I would not be as upset about the loss tonight if he would show a little fire. Get in somebody's face please.

I quit watching after they went down by 10 a few mins into the game. Seems like that was a good choice.

Why doesnt the school just fire this guy?????? I am sick of watching games with this guy as a coach. They are so boring and he does notmake any adjstmants when we start losing. Pearl brought excitement, heart, passion, and good coaching. He was not the best player development coach but HE WON GAMES we need either Pearl or someone like him to come save this program if not we're ******

Bama Dave will try to find a way to keep him since he will be convinced this team can make the NIT. Buzzball, Houston calling, effin' O'Neil - it's all the same. 1960s basketball with bad offensive systems. At least they knew to recruit guys over 6' 8" that can jump.

Jerry Green 4 for 4 on dances. Bruce 6 for 6 on dances. Style - uptempo with guys that could shoot and a shot blocker or two in the middle that could rebound.

But Bama Dave would have to do the right thing for UT and stop the bleeding now. OP is right - this is just wrong and embarrassing.

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.

The Vols basketball program was at a crossroads and wandered aimlessly down the wrong path. Cuonzo lost me tonight.

This is the equivalent of the Miss St loss last year under Dooley. Its all just semantics now and the writing is on the wall. I expect the team to check out soon.

Hart needs to be working the NCAA and w Bruce behind the scenes tonight. He deserves to be held accountable if he doesn't and Bruce coaches elsewhere next year.

Zo sucks. But we might have to suck it up and keep his sorry arse one more year and bring Pearl back. He is the only good coach that would do it for the cheap money we will offer. We all know Alabama Dave won't fish for another stud.
