I can't believe how poorly this team is playing with the talent we have. CCM is holding this team back big time. I've been a supporter of his but I just don't see a bright future for him. Who do we go after if we let CCM go?

I can't believe I'm saying this, but is there a reason why Pearl shouldn't be considered at least somewhat?

Take a wild guess. The most obvious answer is the correct one in this case.

Get rid of him already. His old style of slow pace grind it out, no offense (except MCRAE) is embarrassing and way past it's time. Please bring back Bruce pearl. His time has been served and he wants to come back to Tennessee.

Today I am embarrassed to be a Tennessee vols basketball supporter.

I feel bad for the players, especially Jordy, that they are stuck in this offense. No movement, terrible spacing, no freedom for guys to work, bring it up pass it to the wing look inside, then panic when the shot clock is low. Martin must be a hell of a smooth talker, because I have no idea how he gets kids to come here knowing that's the offense that awaits them. But hey at least it's efficient, right? Lol

There is no way a team this talented should be this freaking bad, well there is one reason, and I think we all know it now. We played with no passion and no fire. Hey coach there is a kid on the bench that will come in and play all out. #freeArmani Oh, where's they guy that tried to tell me that Martin was a good motivator? Lol Sorry for the late night rant, I was working and had the game recorded. I wish it would have gotten erased.

On the plus side, number 7 gave me a chuckle. Thanks Z

Here's something I didn't think I'd say before January, but the Virginia game is pretty much a must win.

Tonight was a must win. It's kind of too late for that. The big thing we said about Martin is he had to solve his early season woes this season, and he's proven that he hasn't done that. He's set himself up for yet another late season run that will end with being a bubble team that misses out.

With all the madness in here the past few days, I said this game couldn't start soon enough. That didn't work out the way I had hoped. Lol

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!

Thats true and most if not all of you guys fall back in love with him at the drop of a hat, over and over....

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

We don't want Hart and Cheek anywhere near a hiring process.

Hart might finally reach out to Gruden but end up hiring George Quarles.

What TN basketball needs is deja vu all over again.... but Hart would screw that up too.

Three times this season (and I didn't watch the UTEP game), we have simply showed up, and thought the "Tennessee" on our chest was enough to win (@Xavier, USC-Upstate, & NCSU). Each time, we got our collective rear-ends handed to us, even if we did eventually out-talent USC-U.

That is simply a lifeless coach's inability to motivate his players. He can't go out and make shots for them, and last night they needed someone to, but he can jump their tails for doing nothing more than just showing up against inferior competition. Show some fire coach! Show us fans that losing bothers you. It all starts at the top, and losing is contagious. Once it becomes acceptable, then it spreads, and you're left with a team of losers who accept defeat. The same thing is wrong with our football team. Until those who lost for three straight years under Dooley are gone, a culture of losing and accepting losing will exist. You have to learn how to love winning and hate losing all over again.

Shooting 29% overall, 12.5% from three, at home coming off of a tough road loss is pathetic. We had one player, J. Richardson, shoot 50% or better, and he was 1/2. McRae - 6/22, Stokes - 4/10, Barton - 0/8. That is abysmal.

This team/coaching staff really had a chance to win back some fans with a strong performance against an ACC team. Instead, they probably lost any support they still had. A definite crossroads game that went the wrong way with no leadership on the court from player or coach.

CCM said he could tell the team was flat during shoot around on Wed?? Then why the heck didn't he do something to get them motivated. What does he get paid almost $2M to do?? This guy is about as non-motivating as they come. Something has to change quickly

Wow he said that? What a master motivator. I give him credit for their SEC reg season runs last 2 seasons. But he's never sniffed the NCAA tourney and he never will unless as an assistant somewhere.
