I can't think of the adjective that describes this game properly.

 

[Volman1970]

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

He also went to a few final 4's

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Look, Florida is really good. You really should stop reading any more into it.

With all the talent we have on this team, you would think that we could at least beat a ranked team this season. C'mon now.

 

[tnvols72]

the fightingMartins should be posting any moment about how Tn is in the tourney and this was not a big lost

 

[jessiej86]

This team is worse than a lot of TN teams no one watched in the 90's.

Oh Hell, you!

Fans never want to hear that though. It must be somebody's fault.

Fla is very good, but they shouldn't be 26 points better than this UT team with this talent and experience. However, they are coached by someone in over his head so it's not totally suprising.

You think you will win it all? Serious question

I think we are one of the ten teams that could, yes. Very balanced. Strong defensively.

 

[Sandvol]

Why don't you go chase some ambulances?

 

[VonVol]

She was the furthest thing from a home run when she was hired though. That's what I'm getting at.

I actually did think Pearl was a home run. But I had a friend that attended Milwaukee and wouldn't shut up about him. Plus they knocked a pretty good Bama team out of the tourney.

[GTvols]

1-19 from the 3 point line!! All that shows is a lack of discipline.

 

[BIG BOI 23]

it might help alot if the ncaa stopped blocking chris walker but yea i think we got a good shot at the final 4

 

[IAMLEGEND]

Hey yall got to 1-3 against Cuonzo today...good job!!! Im hungry for a sandwich now...

That't true, the loss isn't a point of real concern. What IS however, is that with all the debate about RPI and Cuonzo, we forget that this team is only 4 games above .500. A lot more was expected from this team, imo.

Id love to see a Fl - Duke match-up so I could watch Coach K go ballistic at the mugging.

I say again, from what was preached when gonzo was hired, the way Fl plays def is the way I pictured Martin coaching. I want a refund.

Exactly.

Yep, and it falls squarely at Martin's feet. He's the one that put that miserable display of basketball on the court today. It's high f'n time somebody in that incompetent athletic dept start taking some responsibility for the failures over there.

Ten teams, wow that's obvious but how about your odds of taking it all? Surely more than one in ten

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

so you are ok with how the team looked just because Florida has some more talent?

thats great.

good thing we have a coach where the only acceptable answer to every loss is that they other team was better. No chance in ever beating better teams.

fantastic outlook for the program

 

[Freak]

I actually did think Pearl was a home run. But I had a friend that attended Milwaukee and wouldn't shut up about him. Plus they knocked a pretty good Bama team out of the tourney.

He was definitely a hot name and a good hire, I'm just not sure I'd slap the home run label on him at the time he was hired. But that's just me.

 

[olbemw7]

Right. So who's fault is it that we arent as good as Florida?

 

[rocktopper16]

Missed it because I quit watching but I do wonder what that was about?

He legitly gave a corky smirk then winked. Who knows. We lost because we don't play hard & can't shoot the ball. I feel like I'm missing something though..
