I got apple tv for Christmas. finally decided to break it out to watch this game. Thanks CCM for ruining a great gift. That stain will never come out. I will always know what I first saw on apple TV.

Insult to injury, I had to listen to Stallings say on tv last night he as just going to grab the first suit he found in the closet, that he did not need a special jacket because the game was just another game. and then he proves it.

I feel like I have been cheated on by an ugly girl.

Right before halftime, 35 seconds left, no timeout called, turnover, basket Vandy. Potential 4 point swing.

26 seconds left in the game, 3 point lead, Vols with the ball, no timeout called.

Odom at the line 3 point lead. 2nd free throw, no time out called to ice him.

This is sadly Wade Houston-esque.

Well, we got to take that last timeout with us to, well, crap! I don't know what you do with it once the buzzer sounds.

I am at a loss for why we didn't set up a play on that last possession. Unacceptable.

Haha. I know plenty of basketball. I said I would take Bruce all day long. But he isn't known to be an X and O's guy. He had assistants for that. I guess you know it all.

I don't care if he had Pat Summitt giving him X and O's advice. Bottom line, Pearl could make strategic moves during a game to beat teams like Texas, Memphis, Florida, KY, Kansas, Ohio St. On and on. Cuonzo isn't even a good enough coach to have good assistant coaches. It's time for a change.

I agree. This team has really underachieved! But, there is still time to make the NCAA Tourney, but this has to be the last upset of the season if Martin wants to return next season.

Please enough already with the Martin stuff! Bottom line, Martin is not a SEC caliber coach... He has to go, period! I said after the last upset I will not go to another Tennessee basketball game as long as Bozo is coach! If you really care about improving Tennessee basketball you would do the same. I am not happy about it but this is the reality of the situation!

We will not make the dance because we under-perform. Blame who you want but at the end of the day the coach gets credit or blame.

How many fast break points did we have in this loss tonight?

No, you have it all wrong. Why have fast breaks and play at a fast pace when the opposing team only has 7 players? I would be willing to bet that if Pearl was on the sideline tonight that we win by 15+. He would've ran their ass out of that dump.

So tired of x's and o's talk. Teaching basic basketball pick and roll isn't rocket science.
The object of the game is to put the ball in the basket and score more than your opponent. That's the only stat that counts. Teaching your players and letting them play ball to their fullest ability is the job of a coach and Martin is clueless.

And one sub is a slow, tall, lanky freshman. Zero fast break points. Zero.

Ok. But "strategic moves" and X's and O's are not the same thing. When to call a timeout and what to call in that timeout are totally different. I said and will say again, I would love Bruce as our coach. I hated to see him go. But he is not known for drawing up plays. We had some struggles with plays late in close games. Just because I say this doesn't mean I don't like him. Geez. Get a grip.

No, parody is correct because we're attempting to mimic good basketball while making a mockery of it at the same time.

Haha. Yes, I understand. But I thought the poster was trying to correct the definition of "parity." Oh heck...who cares.

Some of y'all just take something and run with it. Someone said that Pearl was great at creating plays at the end of games. I simply stated that we actually had some struggles with getting good plays with Pearl, too. But, we didn't have to do it often because we were not in as many close games because Pearl's teams scored points. I understand what you are saying. It just amazes me how people just state something without really knowing what they are talking about.

Yes. Who cares? How about the poster gets cut some slack after watching that game?

If it was a joke the second time, I am sorry. Figured we could learn something on a night that we clearly didn't learn how to coach basketball.

He sucks man. Period. That was a coaching performance of an nit coach. Hurt his players more than he helped. When your coach is holding you back, cut ties.

Yep, and what is sad is that UT outrebounded them 41-26, but got outscored in the paint 34-22. Unreal. Just unreal.
