Williams fouled out. You get 60 seconds there.

State went to the line to shoot. Then pearl called the to.

I just watched the ending again and this is what happened. Pearl called the TO well after the foul call and well after he knew Williams had fouled out.

Well...yeah. I'm still pretty sure we can beat SC and then beat the worst road team in the SEC at home. Can't assume anything with this group of jokers though.

I have already paid for tickets for both of next week's games and the SECT. I hope it doesn't turn out to be a complete waste of money. I don't expect to win just because I spent money, but I do expect effort.

If I can show up in Columbia and Knoxville next week from Jacksonville, FL, then the team can show up. :clapping:

Beating SC on the road shouldn't be too much of a problem now. Why? It's a road game. We're the anti-Kentucky.

Blaming the L on BP for that TO is silly. You are still looking at a desperation shot. Goins should have played fundamental D, rather than up in Bost's jersey 35 ft from the hoop.

Actually, he played good D there. He had to be careful not to foul or give him a clean look. He made Bost make an off-balance spin move into the help D, to the point that he traveled. If the travel gets called, as it should've, there'd be a whole lot more people talking about how we toughed out an ugly game.

On a related time out note- why will pearl not use one in the midst of a big run by the other team? This has driven me crazy since day 1 and tonight was no exception.

BP made a horrible decision with a lot at stake.

Stop me if you've heard this one before.....

The help D was terrible. A man was unguarded under the basket. Williams went to help too soon.

Let's be honest. Their guy took 2 steps. That travel will never be called in the last five seconds on a game-deciding play.

1. Honoring Jack Cristil before the game was a classy touch by UT. It was nice to see John Ward and Gus Manning come over to give their regards.
2. Losing to that Mississippi State on a day Renardo Sidney took the second half off is inexcusable. Just another in a litany of bad home lossess this season.
3. If you like good shot selection, this game was torture. It was if both teams thought shots inside the arc were outlawed for a period.
4. Scotty Hopson had another sound performance. However, another bricked free throw late removes some of the luster.
5. Kodi Augustus is a winner. Without him, State would have been totally wiped out inside.
6. Tobias Harris was solid. He did, however, fall in love with his jumpshot again.
7. Dee Bost was the difference. He made a play every time Tennessee tried to get contol.
8. Using the last timeout before Lewis' free throw was idiotic. Once UT did that, all he had to do was miss the shot and a desperation shot was all you could get.
9. Renardo Sidney is this generation's Benoit Benjamin. He's an epic waste of talent.
10. UT has to shake this one off immediately. Two wins next week is essential to having some semblence of momentum for the postseason.

#8 is dead on!!! Makes absolute zero sense!! :unsure:

middle of first half launching all the 3's that bearlydrew iron is what lost all momentum to the game. I'm all for shooting it from out there from time to time, but this team has got to stop settling for the 3. It is like they don't want to work for it and just settle for it. And it is every game (win or lose). We should not take more than 10 3-point shots per game. period.

1. Quick unneeded threes have killed our season.
2. Tatum is horrible.
3. Golden played 3 minutes and went 0-4. McBee is the only one happy with that.
4. Not the end you want to see to a possible last year w/ Pearl.
5. Pearl & Hopson played excellent. Love those guys.

What's up with the crowd? It seems like both the fans and team take the first half off.

I hate our fanbase for usually 95 percent of every home game. I don't want to hear nothing to cheer for crowd either. It's called making TBA and electric fun enviroment. some need to have some fun and loosen up a bit. Several around me didn't get up off their rears until it was time to leave...grief...just watched the replay of the game and jimmiy dykes commented on how sorry our crowd was, "atleast the students are making some noise"....good grief...I gave my all today for TN...Go Vols...beating a dead horse I know..

Lackluster play + burned a whole bunch of times at home already this season = lackluster fans. If there's no energy on the floor, there's not going to be any energy in the stands.

Yeah, but I feel this team needs the fans more than any other team under Pearl. I think if the fans would be a bit more vocal from the get go then this team might have a better home record. I've gone to two home games this year and it was pretty quiet in the first half both times.

I agree. This team isn't going to get up for many games by itself. Sad, but true.

In general the crowd is only going to give you what you earn. Think about the Swamp during the Zook years -- all my Gator friends could talk about was how dead the stadium was because the team was crummy. And then they started winning, and the crowd went right back to normal. This UT basketball team has been consistently disappointing at home, has repeatedly played down to the level of its competition, and has generally not bothered to show up for the first half. No crowd is going to keep bringing it and bringing it and bringing it when they get nothing back.

Yeah, I know. I just think this team would play much better if they could feed off the crowd. This team seems to feed off opposing crowds pretty well.

This team just doesn't know how to motivate itself.

I'm starting to wish Cam would come off the bench because when he did last year he would usually give the team a spark. I guess he always sucked but it never showed because he didn't play a lot of minutes.
