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

[appvol]

They lost on purpose so they could play Xavier again.

 

[utvolz98]

Can we get a new coach mid-season?

 

[casetopia]

Martin is too worried about being friends with the players. He looks like hes scared to say anything to his players or the refs that might piss them off. He has zero personality.

 

[Catbone]

So is the fan base

CCM got out coached.

 

[Knoxvol81]

I can't wait to go 0-3 in this tournament! The only way this long weekend could be better would be a loss to UK on Saturday.

So is the fan base

cant really blame the fan base for being disappointed. we blow at every thing just about every yr.

 

[tnvols72]

martin should be fired kiffin style

 

[RikidyBones]

I like how the UTEP player just swung his elbow and nothing was called.

 

[volgrad500]

Iowa will beat UTEP by 20

[Aesius]

you aint lying man. its sad to see where the mens sports are right now. feels like it will never change. horrible feeling. we hear alot of talk from coaches but no results.

It absolutely sucks to know that our teams are 3-4 years from relevance in almost every sport.

If Bruce hadn't lied and we didn't hire Kiffin, we'd be rocking and rolling in both sports right now. Ugh.

 

[kevino]

Martin was clearly out coached in this game , and we missed a ton of free throws .

 

[governmentmule]

Tennessee athletics are just embarrassing

<<<<<<< not all

 

[SpringBokVol]

This is a bad basketball team and it starts with coaching.*

I have no confidence in coach Martin. He is not the answer.

 

[tnvols72]

CCM got out coached.

not the 1st time

 

[MrVol]

Bye bye Cuonzo

 

[CJBlaze]

Seriously though, if we don't make the tournament, Martin should be fired!

 

[bwings]

You have a great point with the personality thing.

 

[VOLMEB]

Where are the CCM defenders? The guy can't coach. Admit it.

 

[SWFLvol33]

Maymon had 20pts

Mcrae

 

[mkil5]

So is the fan base

Really? You must be upset people are mad at Martin for greatly underperforming this year.

How awful of us to like something so much that we don't want to see embarrassing performances.

 

[Catbone]

Seriously though, if we don't make the tournament, Martin should be fired!

Do we have the money?

[calban]

Lethargic on the Road.
Martin's trademark.

 

[kw7pd4]

Think CCM can adjust to Xavier for the second time playing them ?
