The Official Tennessee vs. USC Upstate Game Thread, 7:00pm ET(11/16/13), SportSouth

They're falling away, more than us pulling away.

Yeah, never mind that we are fighting for rebounds and creating good shots, it's all them.

 

[volbeast33]

I mean, I agree that we've been playing awful. But calling for Cuonzo's head is egregious and simply idiotic.

I do not think he will get the job done....Zo can prove me wrong on the court

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

Calling for someone to be fired (for what they've done on the court) right after they win is silly. I don't care what the situation is.

what has martin won?

 

[jahvol]

This is his 3rd year bud. And the basketball team wasn't in need of a complete rebuild. The piss poor play from this team under Cuonzo's watch is inexcusable. You're the one that looks like a fool trying to defend it.

I don't look like a fool for waiting for the end result... I totally agree that he needs to be gone if we don't make the tournament. I don't think the first two games of the season call for his head and tell us how the rest of the season will go. I'm just calling people out for the premature pull of the trigger. Which is exactly what it is.

Just got off work, why is it the way it is?


I feel like we should be winning by more

We are not a very good defensive basketball team.

We are not a very good offensive basketball team.


We are not a very good basketball team.

 

[AZVOLSFAN]

Dang it I knew it was our fans fault that the football team is bad.....where is volfan in NC at? I want to kick his a@@ lol

Where is his house? We need to have a good old fashioned mattress burning in his driveway...a Tennessee tradition.

Slow start by UT

 

[Manvol]

70-65 UT 2:02 left. Mcrae going to the line

Ok games is a W, thanks

 

[jahvol]

what has martin won?

Against ranked teams including top ten? a few actually.

 

[volbeast33]

If you don't think the administration listen to the fans then you're hopeless... at the end of the day, who buys the tickets? we do, so they listen.

Who shouldn't we have fired on the football side.....it's who we have hired that's been the problem

 

[G0V0LS33]

that should do it

 

[Chris4Vols22]

You know those don't count. Only the losses.

You just said the situation matters, which is ludicrous when we have looked uncoached for long stretches of his entire tenure.

 

[Volumnus 2011]

All arguing aside, Bob just said "USC Spartanburg"

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

plenty of coaches pull off the occasional upset. what has martin won in march? when it matters? in the SEC tourny with a bid on the line?

 

[GAVol]

Why? The sample size is plenty. He has no staple, offense is nonexistent, defense is lazy and embarrassing and we've seen two NITs.

Got to admit. It is starting to have a Buzz Peterson like feel to it. Hopefully, we figure some things out in the next few weeks.

Fulmer? had two bad seasons and that was his head.

 

[volbeast33]

So did wade Houston lol

That's what they used to be called.

Couple of sweet NIT hosting nights us what we're after.

 

[Volumnus 2011]

Normal start by UT

fyp

I might agree if this was his first year. But we've seen two years of subpar basketball and this season is starting out with the same poor result.

 

[MrVol]

Time to put upstate away

 

[GAVol]

All arguing aside, Bob just said "USC Spartanburg"

That's who they were up until a couple of years ago.

 

[BruinVol]

Majac number of scoring 70 and a total score over 130 achieved.

Defense wasn't as good but thank goodness Half season Martin allowed a our clear advantage to wear them down. Athleticism wins out when allowed to play.

Better get better defending the post or we won't beat teams that come anywhere close to our talent level but let's face it beating the better teams on our schedule hasnt hurt us the last two years. It's beating teams with talent similar to upstate.
