[bwings]

Maymon had 20pts

Hardly.

 

[volgrad500]

Xavier will do work as well. Make sure they beat us much more soundly than the first time

 

[tennrich1]

It can't be overstated how bad this loss is! For the first time in a while I feel like our basketball program has become totally irrelevant..,,,and I hate that because I really like coach Martin as a person

 

[vols 30]

Iowa will beat UTEP by 20

What does this say about UT?

 

[utvolz98]

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

Not no, but hell no

 

[MrVol]

Martin needs to go back to MVC

 

[7maxims]

At least CCM is tearing up recruiting! oh wait...

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

down 8 with 12 secs left and CCM decides to take a TO to coach.

wut

 

[Volinmem]

Crappo Martin, please go away!

 

[tnvols72]

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

No he could not adjust to utep from the 1st half

 

[CJBlaze]

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.

You can't tell sheep anything.

 

[volgrad500]

What does this say about UT?

That we are a complete dumpster fire.

 

[MrVol]

Give Cuonzo 3 more years and we may win the NIT

 

[kiddiedoc]

Terribly disappointing game. Way too much talent to look this bad. This may be a rough season...not looking forward to the coaching arguments after what we have dealt with in football.

 

[StillStanding]

2013 - the year Vols men's sports suck!

 

[utvolz98]

down 8 with 12 secs left and CCM decides to take a TO to coach.

wut

That's what his coaching for dummies book said to do.

I think CCM is a great person, but the way this season has started may be hard to overcome.

 

[bkells66]

Utep shot 26-40 from inside the three point line...thought Counzo was a defensive coach???

 

[RiseToTheTop]

cant wait to hear what has to say in the post game. wonder if he will give us the recited Butch Jones lines where you know exactly what hes going to say. UT sports man. such a joke. think the fans hurt way more than anyone. watched their beloved programs hit rock bottom on the mens side as a whole.

 

[vols 30]

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

No. The question is can he motivate them to come out with a passion and sense of urgency.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Martin is a horrible coach. I am sorry but this team will have a poor year and lose games their talent says they shouldn't.

Martin hasn't shown me any reason for hope. In fact, he has shown me the reason for despair.

I don't like his style, demeanor and his lack of adjustments to what your opponent is doing kills me.

I hope he is relieved of his duties.

No way he makes anything out of this year.

 

[tennrich1]

I have never called for coach to be dismissed but if CCM doesn't get this corrected immediately we have to do something, the obvious tonite was our team wasn't close to being ready to play and UTEP was!!!!!

 

[StillStanding]

Think positive- the Vols only lost by single digits! Woohoo,

 

[Memphisvol87]

All things Tennessee men's athletics officially blow, we are bad at everything now. Whoever has the voodoo doll please stop, we've had enough.

 

[RikidyBones]

I think Tennessee sports anticipated the end of the world in 2012.
