The Official Tennessee vs. #6 Florida Game Thread, 4:00pm ET, ESPN

[Buddr]

Now lets get ready for all the "The Refs cost us this game" BS and all the "well gonzo doesn't play so he can't help that, bunch of crap" that is going to be used as an excuse. It's Simple, as long as he is coach this team is NIT bound.

 

[vols 30]

I trust the opinion of Jerry palm, Lunardi, etc

Most prognosticators have us in the tournament.

But there are too many losses left on the schedule. Do you trust this team on the road? Ole Miss will be trouble on Wednesday .

 

[bnhunt]

I think it's safe to say UF's defense won the game. Absolutely stellar IMO. Their offense was also doing well considering the pressure we were giving them. I predicted a loss, but not because of their defense. This is a different UF team than the past two years.

Not really - just a REALLY bad UT team

 

[MAD]

Florida had all the luck go their way today.

Agree.

I thought they would light it up from 3 on us

Agree. They were on our guys like a bunch of gnats.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

I think most people agree with this

I would like to have Bruce Pearl back but at the same time, I just want to have a coach that knows how to coach and win games. Don't care who it is.

 

[508mikey]

Can it get any worse?

yes and it will

 

[casetopia]

this team has no sense of urgency at all. you can tell they couldn't care less that they are getting blown out. they are all looking around at each other like it's the other person's fault. martin never tries to fire them up during a timeout. I thought Fulmer was low-key. Martin makes Fulmer look like Bobby Knight.

 

[OrangeBalls]

This is a layup drill. Martin can't coach offense and we can't even put up a fight on defense. This team has given up. That's a bad sign if you want to keep your job.

 

[rockytophigh]

This is absolutely pathetic.....

 

[MrVol]

Keep it under 30 <--- Cuonzo Moral Victory

They might now. But this team is going backwards. Losing to UF on the road isn't a bad loss,I agree. But this is embarrassing. Losing by 30 on the road to a good team is different. And if we play like this we are going to lose plenty more.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

This is embarrassing. 19 pts at half, 16 in second so far, not a single adjustment made whatsoever. We can barely break a press all year not just today. Say what you want about cuonzo can't make the ball go in blahblahblah, but NCAA tourney or not, hes NOT the guy for this job. It could be Bruce, it may not be, but it isn't Cuonzo Martin.

 

[Sandvol]

UF wants to play defense more than UT wants to play offense.

Your board not exciting enough for you?

 

[1985Vols]

Yep, I want another coach and not Bruce Pearl.

Sure, let's experiment again with another mid major up and comer and continue plodding through the sea of irrelevance or let's hire one of the best college coaches in the country that loves it here and start going back to Sweet 16's and Elite 8's. Sick of you holier than thou people that say they don't want CBP.

 

[IAMLEGEND]

UF wants to play defense more than UT wants to play offense.

Very impressed with UF's on the ball defense...very solid club and have proven they belong in the top 10

but UT still has chance to come back!

dont give up you cuonzo hater!!!!

 

[GOATeric14berry]

keep listening to them. just don't be surprised when Tn isn't dancing. does this team look like a tourney team ?

This team no. The team that beat Virginia yes

 

[UT_Dutchman]

The refs could've called all the fouls and then some and it wouldn't have made a difference.

Yeah but when you keep getting beat up and there a no calls it works on you and your teammates mentally. Been there.

 

[Power T-Rev]

Does anyone know why opposing teams' fans come onto volnation? Do they not have their own forum?

ben howland is not a mid major coach and would coach circles around BP

 

[Lawrence Wright]

Your board not exciting enough for you?

I'm posting on two boards and lurking on twitter.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Or they are a good team with a good coach and we are a good individual with a joke of a coach.

 

[vavolunteer]

I would really like to be a fly on the wall in the locker room after this game. Does anyone think martin raises his voice above a whisper? Or does he sit there, analyze, lick his freakin lips, and rationalize?

Does anyone on this time have any fire? Any pride? Could Stokes stand up and ***** slap the piss out of somebody and wake this team up? Cuonzo sure as hell aint gonna do it.
