Yes, Tubby and Billy Clyde's teams were just so awesome. Tell me more.

This is the worst KY team I have seen in a long time. They are NIT bound at best. The fab 5 freshman expirament is backfiring on Calamari this year

Pearl would recruit better players so your argument is irrelevant.

Pearl's last year? Where the team started out hot, beat two great teams, got a top ten ranking? then pearl was suspended, the team sucked, but came back and they still made the tourney.

So u don't remember us getting our butt kicked with him on the bench that year...the non-conference loses against not good teams.?lol

I fail to see that. In the last 3-5 minutes of a game, they are not mentally tough enough to run their offense and work hard enough to get a good shot and on the defensive end, they cannot match the intensity of the other team which results in layups and dunks.

They do not play hard when the game is on the line.

Webster needs to make that word official

I think so too. It's clearly a widespread illness. From now on I'm not even going to point out the obvious facts. I'm just going to reference Pearlnesia and move on.

Against the worst team Ky has had in years?If we had no chance isn't that Martins fault? This team plays like he coaches. Sluggish

I am telling you- UT at Rupp. No chance. How many times have won there? I will let you figure it out.

Doesn't matter what kind of team they have. Can't win 8 on 5 and this team doesn't have good guard play.

Coach Zo has no idea what he is doing. With our instate talent, we should never finish worse than fourth in the conference. Its time to stop thrift shopping on coaches. We have too much invested in facilities to be making trips to the NIT.

His last game coached at UT...his guys quit on him, at least these guys continue to fight, even with not a lot of talent

How can you possibly like a coach that can't coach or recruit and does nothing to generate excitement? UT basketball is back to the Kevin O'Neill era without the entertainment value.

Kind of like the fact you guys ignore that we were a tourney team under him but not now?

Kind of like how you ignore how because of his recruiting and actions, they are here because of him. Pearl himself said he wouldn't have done as well as Martin last year.

Is Martin good? The jury is still out, but acting like Pearl would have these guys a ton better is laughable.

Are you kidding? Pearls teams played tough man to man defense. How many times did his teams get steals or cause teams to call time out on out of bounds plays? Pearl would have won this game by 10+ points with this Tenn team.

You choose to think that. Team plays hard- just lack shooting and guard play. I hate when people use the word "quit." So overused. They play hard, but guard play is so key in close college games.

One of the reasons we have only won 4 times in the history of Rupp. Pearl did it once.
