The Official Tennessee vs. UTEP Game Thread, 9:30pm ET, NBCSN

Martin just does not know how to coach offense and spacing. No idea how to get the ball to 2 Wooden finalists in clearouts. Everybody knows our motion offense has to start with the wing pass and they just front it and watch us stand still.
I still believe maymon should come off the bench as well. Another slow start.

 

[BadJerry20]

Relax, we are gonna win by 5.

Sometimes I wonder how CCM actually gets these kids, especially the highly ranked ones, to commit to play for him. I'm being serious. He seems like a nice guy but also a real bore. Just doesn't seem like the kind of guy that I'd be motivated to play my best for.

This offense is the reason Austin Nichols did not come to UT.

 

[zjcvols]

This, and I think most of his supporters feel the same. Or they should

I agree with both of you.

Funny these posters who want him gone after a half.

 

[tnvols72]

It's not the players.............

be careful with this statement, you will get in trouble with the fighting martins

 

[jdogvol]

Really disappointed showing so far tonight. I am behind CCM, but if he doesn't make the tourney this year with all this talent, he needs to be gone.

Not going to make the tourney. Bet we finish in lower half of a weak SEC this season. Can't STAND watching Cuonzo-ball!

I love Maymon but I agree 100%.

Still 20 minutes to go.

For those that want to fire everyone in the AD

I'll take that bet, the SEC sucks.

 

[calban]

Why exactly does Maymon start again? He's garbage on both ends. Yeah. He missed a year, I know. This guy should not play nearly as many minutes as he does

Maymon and Stokes both are bothered by length. If anyone's been hurt by the rule changes it's them. No more muscling their opponents into submission.

UT should be beating UTEP. There is a problem with the slow starts. That's on Counzo.

 

[TechnoVol]

Chavis and Davis shooting threes

:lolabove: Johnny Chavis? Go Chief!


j/k... Trying to find something to laugh about after watching an abysmal first half.

 

[BruinVol]

What's the score

Down 8 at half

 

[BadJerry20]

what's the score

36-28 utep

 

[Escape Goat]

I agree, to much talent on this team. He will never get us in the tourney with his slow boring system.

Don't worry. He will turn it on in February, and have us on the bubble, only to be crushed when we aren't chosen for it.


NIT baby!

 

[MrVol]

This offense is the reason Austin Nichols did not come to UT.

Can't blame recruits, they want to score.

 

[lincolncovol]

Down 8 at half

Thanks

 

[EricberryFAN]

Relax, we are gonna win by 5.

We should win by 20.

Even if we do win it doesn't hide the fact that we don't have that good of a coach. I like the guy as a man and respect him. He's a Cancer survivor and that's great. I just want my Vols to play like they could be playing.

oh thank goodness youre here. please tell us how good martin has been coaching.

if they beat this team, it will be purely on the players. tim floyd has been coaching circles around CCM

 

[bnhunt]

If we can't win the first round against a Utep team in this tournament, and considering how awful the sec is this year, no chance we make the tourney.

^^^ THIS x infinity. I knows it's early in the season, but I am surprised at how bad this team is playing. We have no gameplan on offense and our D gives up too many open shots. If CCM doesn't figure some things out soon, I'm afraid we'll be looking for another coach at end of year after we flameout in first round of NIT again to some mid-tier crap team.

 

[MrVol]

We are coming back.

 

[bwings]

This offense is the reason Austin Nichols did not come to UT.

That's not true. His mom is the main reason he did not come to UT. He was ready to sign. Dad wanted Duke and Mom wanted Memphis. No, dad wasn't crazy about the offense but that wasn't the main reason.

 

[volinbama256]

This game is hard to watch, I seriously think the Lady Vols could Wip OUR Azzz!

 

[Fullfillmer]

Only you - I don't think I saw any asians or samoans either.
