Didn't watch

I've watched one game this season, saw all I needed to see. This coaching staff is a joke. I don't know why talking heads praise Martin. I've seen nothing from him that shows me he knows a damn thing about the game beyond a basic understanding that any high school coach has. How can one University have a Dooleyesque coach in both football and basketball?

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.

Wayne Chism would break Stokes in half...

CM has been given a good opportunity to put a team in the tournament and its been a failure. There's been very little progression and its de ja vu in year three. Martin will finish the season at Tennessee IMO (I don't think it's deserved), and I don't think he's capable of taking Tennessee to the promise land.

I hate seeing Cuonzo's comments after the game on Tennessee's twitter feed. He always blames other reasons and never says he was out coached which is the reason why we lose most games.

I have not posted since UTEP game. After Xavier win everyone said some of us did not post after wins and we're only negative. I have been unable to watch any game since UTEP and I do not post if I do not watch the game. I was able to watch the first 7 minutes of this game. When I got home tonight and saw we lost I was not surprised. It is time for a change now. Maybe one of the assistant could get the players to play with some passion and fire.

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.

Surely, you jest?

I have really only watched 1 game all year long, so I can't really say much but really that is the point I have only watched 1 game if it was last year or the year before I would be watching them as much as I can. I guess I have accepted that we had a great run at it for a while but now were back to where we were pre (_____). I'm not going to say his name because a lot of people will get offended, but he did do what many have tried and failed at and that gave Tennessee fans hope after football season you know a sport that's not football to watch.

I haven't been posting much on this board, mainly due to frustration, but my thoughts are the same as everybody. Cuonzo Martin is our basketball program's Derek Dooley. Get rid of him!

Thank you Stoked and Zjc for finally accepting the fact that Cuonzo is an incompetant jack***.

Where is BTO? Has he hopped aboard the hate train as well?

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.

U still in his corner?

I know, l know but a friend of a friend on the inside says Hart is not happy with mens Bb and will probally be making a change. I guess we all will see.

Not sure what was worst - watching this team struggle to make shots or ESPN's constant running of Lambert's decommitment from UT.

Here is the reality of the season. I didn't see any of the game. I was watching The Sing Off with my daughter and realized about 5 minutes ago that UT played tonight. Didn't even cross my mind.

And consider I was offered free tickets and parking pass to tonights game earlier today. I'm also a former season ticket holder.

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.

For a 20 year old you express yourself very well.

Lol. This was sad. Best case scenario at this point would be Tennessee not winning another game this season so we can start over

For the 100th time...there's a certain coach in Brooklyn that isnt happy *cough* Lawrence Frank *cough*

Wishful thinking maybe but I really think he listens if we talk. We still don't know if Hammy offered or just asked for his assistance and guidance. Pleaseeeee restore some dignity and hope by offering this man!

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.

Yeah I was at the game and with 5 min to go we were down maybe 5 or 6 and I told my buddy, "we have 4 team fouls, better be real aggressive the rest of the way.". With 1 minute to go we had 5 fouls. Just awful game management. I said earlier this week Cuonzo had to go about 18-4 to finish. He's off to 0-1 so far. Not good at all.

I think the Cuonzo experiment is officially over. That was one of the worst halves of basketball I have ever witnesses, and yes, I have season tix and was at the game. I am done wasting my time and money on this failure of a coaching staff. No more money will be donated from my wallet until a change is made. How can we really pay this coach almost $2M a year. His teams play with zero energy, much like his personality. Sickening to say the least. Hart needs to get his list together because another performance like this one and he might as well go ahead and pull the trigger. Heck, hire Tony Jones to coach the team the rest of this season.
