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

[orange plasma]

Ugly performance so far.

 

[vols 30]

Our fans are super critical of the basketball team.

UT fans are critical of everything

 

[tnvols72]

the whole team looks clueless right now. don't even have a scorer on the floor

 

[VolGee4]

stokes has turned into a tulip on D

He has to. New rules do not favor him at all. He has to use his body to be effective.

 

[BadJerry20]

We are struggling offensively and this is the lineup we go with?

 

[1985Vols]

I really don't understand what we try to do offensively. No sets, we just jack up 3 point shots and hope Stokes or Maymon get the rebound. I'm beginning to think CCM is Wade Houston Jr

 

[Roustabout]

Someone please explain the offensive strategy for this team.

 

[UTvolinBGKY]

Has Martin ever heard of up tempo? Like watching paint dry.

 

[Vol4ever]

This offense might work a Mizz St, but these are not HS kids. BS offense period

 

[SCowlsVOL]

Not sure we have a plan on offense

You mean winging it isn't an offense??

 

[orange plasma]

I miss Bruce Pearl offense

 

[bwings]

Hubbs is way overrated

He's a freshman playing in an offense that doesn't let him do what he does best. Give him a little time to get it. He was a 5* and rated as #1 in the state. He's not the savior of this team.

Not that I agree with Marin's offense but there are some new faces that will take some time to get used to it.

 

[Escape Goat]

Glad he made both

 

[Ace]

Our fans are super critical of the basketball team.

No, critical of the coaching style of play. I see a team with great talent being wasted. CCM may have a long term plan, but I am tired of watching us lose to inferior teams and only go to the NIT with NCAA tourney talent.

 

[1985Vols]

Nice shot.

He's got every tool to become a 5* player. Just is not there yet on offense. I'm not sure if this is a coaching problem or not.

Agree, however I haven't seen anything so far to warrant a 5 star rating for Hubbs

 

[vols 30]

Thank god Stokes showed up, or it would be ugly

 

[38401]

28-23 utep

 

[GBO18]

What a weak foul.

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

lol timmy floyd just carved up that cuonzo press

 

[38401]

29-23

 

[vols 30]

29 - 23 utep

 

[golfballs]

Someone please explain the offensive strategy for this team.

Strategy?

 

[Catbone]

as of now i think UTEP is a better coached team

 

[vols 30]

Shooting 25%
