Announcers' reasoning was we couldn't figure out their defense. Usually you score 70 or more, there wasn't a great defense.
So..........

Cuonzo is the last remnant of the Mike Hamilton era. Once he's gone, the healing of UT athletics can begin.

Well, the problem of Booger Cheek remains though. Get rid of him while we are getting rid of Martin. I still beleive the ultimate healing of UT atheletics won't begin till we get rid of the Booger.

Your avatar makes me nostalgic for the days that you could have faith that our coaches weren't completely over their heads.

This is dumb too. Martin has beaten 6 ranked teams and has winning seasons. Again, I am very disappointed and losing faith. But don't stretch the truth when you are criticizing him.

When did Martin make the tournament? Making the tournament's what matters, not a winning record.

It's going to take poor attendance to get their attention. I'm thoroughly convinced that a coach could go 0-30 there but keep his job if the arena was still getting packed out.

I received an email advertising $7 tickets on sale this weekend for all home games. I only get back to Knoxville about twice a year and I considered taking family to Morehead State game in December. If we play like we did tonite against Xavier tomorrow, then I will not waste my hard earned money.

It's still very early but things aren't looking good for this team and ol CCM. The guy has all of the talent in the world and continually manages to look completely inept.

Who cares about having winning seasons when you can't even make the tournament. The "winning season" argument works for football, not basketball. It's really hard to have a losing season when you play cupcake ooc games. Unfortunately Bozo manages to lose those games too. He's got to go!

You guys aren't getting Martin's strategy. Winning records haven't gotten him in the tourney in the past, so he's saving up for the SEC tourney. We're gonna take everyone by surprise!

I am not defending CCM, but this is the kind of stuff that is dumb and simply not true. Pearl inherited a team with an NBA point guard and an All-American shooter. Don't just make stuff up. But yes, I enjoyed those days.

He had CJ Watson for one year. Besides, guys like Chism and Lofton were much more talented than Watson. I have no freaking idea why Chism isn't in the NBA

Give us Gregg Marshall. The guy has desperately wanted to come here before. He'd get us back quickly

IMO C.Martin coaches like these games are exhibition games and the outcome is irrelevant. Substitution patterns, lack of motivational skills and I doubt he ever scouts an opponent. Poor foul shooting is usually simply a lack of focus.

Not big enough, and not athletic enough.

Oh so dinosaurs like Bosh can play but Chism can't? Chism is definitely big enough to be a small forward. He's 6'9" 246 lbs, which if that isn't big enough, then I don't wanna know what is. Much more athletic than a lot of guys in the NBA. The guy can play down low, but can also shoot 3s

Wayne was and is one of my all time favorites because the heart he played with every game. Chism was not 6'9'' tall although he played like he was. Look up just how tall Wayne really was in his stocking feet.
