Did Martin struggle to win meaningful post season games at his previous job? Not that this was a meaningful game.

I guess I'd like someone to explain to me why, after not making d--k all game, we pick McBee to take a three when we didn't even need to. WTF???? I love our guys. I loved our season. But that was about the worst 8 minutes of bball I've ever seen. Embarrassing is correct.

So you love mediocrity. Well get used to it thats what you are going to have for the next few years. Martin is a fair defensive coach who doesn't have a clue about offense.

The intelligence level of some of the folks on this board really comes through when we lose a close game. MTSU wanted it more. We played well enough to win the game but it didn't happen. Embarrassing is losing to a team like Austin Peay, not a 27-6 team.

Really? Golden killed the team?

I guess you missed the last 5 minutes he was in the game and we failed to get anything going. It all starts with the PG. Was he the main reason we lost? No, but he was 6-12 from the FT line after shooting 80% on the season and he did nothing down the stretch.

Besides our bad rebounding, defense and FT shooting, McRae's quick shots when we had a 8 point lead led to the loss. He was 1-7 and McBee was 0-7. We got nothing from those two.

So you're saying that not scoring for 7+ minutes isn't embarrassing?

Where was your pathetic ass after UT beat Candy and you predicted UT would get blown out?

Hiding like a b*tch.

When everyone calms down, you will see we had an overachieving season. I am pretty sure 80 pct of the people thought we were going to have a bad year this year. We finished with a winning season, we spanked Florida twice, we beat down Vandy at home and we made UConn look like a rec league team (before everyone realized they are a rec league team). I am proud of this team and look forward to next year.

Thats the biggest load of horse manure I have ever seen posted on a board. This team was pathetic all year except for a run of about 7 games. Good lord I could have coached them better on offense.

Our guard play is sub mid major! Some division 2 teams have better guard play than we do. Tatum 3/10 Mcbee 0/7 Golden 4/9 McRae 1/6 for a combined shooting of 25%. That is bad. Not very good on D either. Golden was not quick enough or strong enough to guard MTSU's PG tonight. Golden got used bad!!! If we do not get a point guard and move Golden to the 2 guard, we will not be much improved next year. We need more quickness at the guard position!!!!

We had so many players who didn't contribute at all. Hopefully Cuonzo can burn up the dead wood and spring drills and we can come back with some intensity. I get so sick of seeing our teams play without any fire. I know they did at a few points in the season, but GAAAWWWWDDDD! I think you guys are right, they were thinking about pretty girls and spring break.

Then he didn't kill this team.

He struggled to guard his man, due to getting injured with about 6 minutes left. He didn't kill this team.

Look elsewhere for that crap.

I just don't understand why CCM won't call TOs

If you figure out why, would you please post it here! I don't think Coach Martin believes TO's have the ability to kill an opponents momentum. Much better to wait for the run to balloon to 10-0 or 12-0 or hold out for the tv timeout. Seriously, I just don't get it. And it's been a recurring theme.

I'm saying when your two leading scorers aren't even in the game then you can only anticipate so much. We failed to substitute at the level that MTSU did and in the end they were fresh and we were gassed, especially Trae Golden and Maymon.

Losing to Middle is not embarrassing? Interesting take. Maybe Tennessee should move to division 2.

Just go ahead and name willieboy. I'm sure he's used to having his intelligence questioned.
