The Official Tennessee vs. Wichita State Game Thread, 2:00pm ET, ESPN2

[Ernest T. Vol]

SEC is down, we could win 21 games and not make tourney. Need this one for RPI

 

[MisplacedVolInMN]

Thanks mike hamilton...

 

[SJAVol32]

Keep blaming CCM. Idc who you are any competent basketball player sees a 2-3 zone you drive towards the zone. They stand around.

 

[Persian Vol]

I put this game on the players. Bad free throw shooting. Bad turnovers. Horrible finishing. Wichita States home field advantage was obvious. Their team really feeded of that home energy.

 

[VinylVols]

Richardson to me is the player that cost us this game. We were just down 2, he misses an easy layup, then they score a 3 at the other end and he comes back and tries to make a 3, and misses and they go back and get a 2. Thats a huge swing compared to how close we have been playing.

 

[GAVol]

Funny how players seem to do that against Tennessee, isn't it?

Hey look who showed up when things went south.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Counzo ball......You act surprised.:ermm:

Its funny. You post negative things before the game. Don't post while the game is back and forth and we might win. But as soon as it looks like we may lose you show up.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Before you jump off the cliff sell them to a true fan

If he's a season tix holder he's prob more of a true fan than you.

 

[firestorm]

What's even worse is that Martin has more talent. Yet, he doesn't know what the hell to do with it.

Call the aflack duck for motivation.

 

[GBO97]

The refs have no respect for Zo or the Vols. Clearly looking for stuff to call on the Vols and looking the other way for the Shockers.

Color me unimpressed with Zo.

These refs do suck... really bad. They T'd up Jordan just for throwing down a big dunk.

 

[gunner]

I want to like Coach Martin I really do but he keeps underachieving with a ton of talent.

Yes, when is his contract up?

 

[mccrackb]

well we played a good 30 minutes then fell apart. sucks

Nothing this team has done this year or last can be considered well. A basketball team team that can't make layups or free throws is not going to win consistently. They have one player on the team. Maymon and Stokes are jokes

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I'm stuck this year because I purchased season tix, like I said, it will be the last time. Be glad to sell them if anyone wants to purchase them

I mean stop posting here. And don't come back if we end up doing really well.

 

[1985Vols]

Cuonzo teams are NIT teams. No reason to expect any more

NIT coach = NIT team

 

[Persian Vol]

Anyone noticed how we didn't dominate the offensive board? Yeah.

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

It's like posting with a bunch of 12 year olds with temper issues.

Yeah that's ok reasoning for a first year coach building a program, but it's been the same excuse for CCM the past 3 years.

" why are you so mad about losing to a good team on the road"

 

[Spartacavolus]

51 pts with 3:45 left. Pathetic.

 

[possumtownVol]

the refs didn't miss a single lay up or foul shot or cuss the crowd after a great jam That falls on us

 

[firestorm]

Come on vols make it a game it ain't over.
Valiant vols don't quit

 

[VolFromNashville]

I want a player like Cotton on my team. Plays defense, offense, everything. Complete player.

 

[87Vol]

We have a lot of talent but Cuonzo The Clown is wasting it.

 

[OrangeBalls]

Yea because losing to a top ten team on the road in a close game means we go to the NIT.

It's like posting with a bunch of 12 year olds with temper issues.

Not to excuse the overreactions, but this team has lost to Xavier on the road and a UTEP team on a neutral court. They're running out of chances to get a quality road non-conference win. Just like the last 2 years.

It's like posting with a bunch of 12 year olds with temper issues.

I can count on one hand the number of quality wins we'll have a shot at in conference. Gotta get the RPI up prior to conference play to feel good about our tourney spot.

Maymon and Stokes are overrated!
