It is not Cuonzo's fault that we lost tonight, but it is his fault that we are as pathetically thin on offensive talent as we are.

McRae and Stokes are quality players, but no one else can get their own shot. Josh off a screen has quality mid range play and can hit the open three, but who else is there? Good teams can double Stokes and press Jordy away from the basket to shake us offensively.

This is not a tournament team. Florida is a really, really good team, but we lack the overall offensive weapons to be consistently dangerous.

Thats not the fault of Cuonzo's in game coaching, that is the fault of his recruiting and lack of player development.

The fact that we are not a tournament team is pathetic. This is by far Cuonzo's best team. If he can't get it done this year, he never will. He's not even a great recruiter.

I thought Young had a solid game. He might have been soft a couple years ago, but soft players don't win loose balls like the one he won near the end of the game.

I agree to Florida is really good this year no doubt about that however in this game I think we kind of shot ourselves in the foot more...,Florida is really good though.... And Barton needs to find a nice seat at the end of the bench..., nice kid but he is really hurting our team.

Oh yeah and let us all guess, "It is not Conzo's fault that Tennessee has not made the tournament since he's been here."

"The pissing down our legs" was done completely by our players in this game, with lack of execution. It had nothing to do with Cuonzo's ability/inability to coach. I can see people getting mad at Zo about TAMU, but honestly Vandy and UF were all on the players.
Our fanbase is just looking for things to get mad at, at this point

Yes there were undeniable blown opportunities.

The missed dunk 2nd half
The missed three by rich 1st half
Missed free throws 2nd half
A turnover the vols couldn't finish late in the game 2nd half

The vols much like the Detroit lions finding a way to blow it in a game they could have and should have won.

UT on ESPN with an empty stadium. You deny it?

Not at all. We have a stadium built for a school like Kentucky. I am just saying you shouldn't ask for free tickets. I don't like this performance anymore than the next guy.

Seriously. There are some losses that are acceptable and others that are not. TAMU and Vandy are inexcusable. Florida is not.

Who do you put in? What's your recommendation genius?

AJ Davis I'm sure can catch a pass as can Reese or Ndiaye. What good does a man who is turning it over every other play do you anyway, genius?

Here's my thing, why the hell do you recruit a JUCO big-man if you're not going to play him? Cuonzo has wasted more scholarships in 3 yrs, on players who apparently can't play, than many coaches do in their careers. He either has horrible player evaluation skills or horrible player development skills.

Free tickets may be the only way to fill the stadium.

That or they need to curtain the upper decks and at least make it look packed on TV with a filled lower deck. I had a house full of people and had to change it to Hawai Five-0 to prevent embarrassment.

You watched Hawaii Five-0 over UT, that's the embarrassment.
