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

[VolFromNashville]

No they like him because he won big games and made the NCAA tourney. It doesn't matter who it is, this fan base like winners and CCM is not a winner.

Agreed on that. It's not hard to see it either. We'll be talking about this game in March I imagine.

 

[BadJerry20]

It's not about the loss, I can accept a loss. It's how we lost, we turned soft and folded.

 

[volbreaker]

He also took our beloved Vols to the NCAA tournament all 6 years he was the HC.

He's an F-ing liar and cheat. Yup. I loved him....right up until the "lie tears"

 

[VolsSportsFan]

There are a ton of you with the mentality of Clay Travis.

 

[GAVol]

Glad we aren't playing a drinking game with the phrase "body blow."

We'd all need sponsors.

 

[VolGee4]

Those who think we got beat by a great team today, watch them the rest of the year. No way does this team have as much talent as TN. No way.

They will end up with 24+ wins this year.

 

[UTCVol]

another

So you think we need more white guys?

 

[firestorm]

That quite literally changed the game. Took the wind out of our sails.

Yeah tight game can be avoided if we make more free throws.

When playing a top 25 team on the road you need to make 70 percent of your free throws for a favorable chance to win.

[1985Vols]

This isn't a bad loss...

Really??

 

[volinreallife]

Wasn't making an argument for or against. But people on here worship him like he won a NC. He lost plenty of games he shouldn't have lost.

He also won a lot of games he shouldn't of won. Kansas

 

[gunner]

We want BP back!

 

[kxtop]

This is frustrating, very frustrating. We have too much talent to be playing this poorly. It seems like yesterday that we were ranked 1 in the country and in contention every game against the best. Now we are, well, just middle of the pack at best.

 

[Spartacavolus]

It's not about the loss, I can accept a loss. It's how we lost, we turned soft and folded.

scared to death. Have you ever even seen a HS coach that doesn't know where to attack a 2-2-1 press? But hey, in CM fashion, they figured it out with a minute left and we scored.
Pathetic.

 

[golfballs]

I love moral losses!

I bet you do

 

[UTCVol]

Those who think we got beat by a great team today, watch them the rest of the year. No way does this team have as much talent as TN. No way.

They went to the Final Four last year, genius.

 

[Catbone]

BP OH GOD! Come back BRUCEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

and que bruce

 

[VolsSportsFan]

We want BP back!

Good luck with that.

 

[Larkin]

Another game we'll look back at and say "If we only had that Wichita State win, we'd be in the tourney". Seems like Cuonzo is looking forward to another solid NIT bid.

 

[LotteryPick]

Then they show Pearl's smiling face right after the game.


I'm lol'ing.

 

[AZVOLSFAN]

LOL, BP is on TV immediately after out Vols lose…irony.

 

[Bigorangejumpsuit]

Unbelievable.

 

[VolFromNashville]

He also took our beloved Vols to the NCAA tournament all 6 years he was the HC.

I miss those days. I really do. All I was saying was that even he lost games too.

And of course he's on ESPN2 now. I wish Coach Martin had an ounce of the passion he showed on the court.

 

[SamRebel35]

good loss?

It certainly wasn't a quality win.
