Maymon had a good game with 8 turnovers.

Exactly! Anybody that thinks Maymon had a good game does not know basketball. Maymon single handily beat us tonight with his 8 turnovers and missed bunnies. I really think we win the game tonight if Maymon had not played. He hustled and played hard but that does not mean he played well.

May on played bad in the first half too. 3 turnovers. Wasn't just the last 5 min. He was too slow too the glass all night, late on picks as well. Basketball comprehension needs work bro.

Not saying we've had a good season. TAMU and Vandy were bad losses, and i understand people being upset about those but the season is not over. For all we know this team could win out. I'm just trying to say give this team a chance, the season is not over yet. And we shouldn't react so irrationally to losses against the 4th ranked team in the country

We held them to 38% shooting and lost. This was a very winnable game with a halfway decent coach. We are watching the same thing with our basketball program that we watched with Derek Dooley coaching our football team.

Maymon 1-2 FGs 9 RBs 8 TOs
Mcrae 6-16 FGs 3 RBs 6 TOs

Neither had a good game, yet everyone shovels all blame on Maymon?

I am seriously so tired of getting on these boards and seeing complete hysteria from some of these people on this board. I really do not know what you guys expect, seriously we just played a top 5 team and lost by single digits. It is honestly unreal how insane the expectations are from some of the people on this board, i'm beginning to think many of you did not even watch the game. I know a lot of this stems from the passion we all have for Tennessee sports, but at this point it is laughable how some of you are acting:
1. Maymon played a good game tonight, he got many pivotal tie-ups and rebounds against Patric Young out there, granted he did mess up a lot down the stretch but aside from those last 5 minutes he played a good game. And he played his heard out, so this "Maymon doesn't even care" stuff is trash.
2. Tonight's loss was not on Cuonzo it was on execution of our players. Jordan Mcrae played a great game, but he took a couple shots in crunch time that he really shouldn't have. And Maymon killed us too.
3.It's been said a lott before but i'll try again, Bruce is not coming back. So we need to stop with that it makes us look ridiculous.

Those of you claiming the sky is falling and say we should fire Cuonzo immediately to salvage our season, please go back to putting the for-sale signs in Butch's yard. You guys are laughable.:salute: GBO and Go RATIONAL Tennessee fans. Let the season play out, then make your judgement on Zo and our team, all i ask. Criticism is okay, but this is getting ridiculous.

My question is why aren't we the 4th ranked team in the country. Three years is enough time to build it.

The more you post the more I realize you just don't have much knowledge of basketball. Sure, McRae had 5 turnovers but 4 of them were in the first few minutes of the game. We made up for those and without McRae, this team wouldn't even have a.500 record right now. Maymon has killed us several games this year.

I'm just tired of hearing the same excuses from everyone. Why can't anyone admit that this team is average at best? Considering all this talent we have on this team, we could at least be ranked in the 20's or even upset one ranked opponent. C'mon people, Cuonzo is a good guy but he's not the right coach for this program.

So if Florida beats Kentucky Calipari isn't a halfway decent coach?

I get people are mad, but holy $hit the lunacy in some of these posts. "Very winnable game with a halfway decent coach"?

So does that mean that every team that's lost at home to Florida doesn't have even a half way decent coach?

Maymon f*#@ed us tonight...all y'all CuonDUOH apologists need to wake up. Barton finally plays a solid game and he's sitting on the bench when we could of used him...instead he stayed with Thompson and all he could do was help feed it around the perimeter...ILL ONLY SAY THIS ONCE BRING BRUCE BACK...I earned that line after wasting that money to see this so called Coach ruin what Bruce brought to TBA. I've never seen such a deflated crowd for a full 40 minute game against such a powerhouse in TBA...

Are you serious? Without Mcrae we lose by at least 20.


You really are clueless arent you

Agreed...they gave up guarding Maymon in the second half and really did a good job of focusing on McRae. And when we did have 5 straight stops in the 2nd half we score 2 points...

The season is playing out. We've had 1 two game winning streak since conference play started and the conference schedule is half over. I'd say the sample size is large enough for some to come to a different opinion than yours.

We have 9 losses already. With the current state of the SEC and the quality of our wins, that's riding the bubble hard.

This is year 3. That's enough time to have brought in impact recruits. If we're being honest, his recruiting hasn't been stellar. Stokes has certainly been a success, but other than that his recruits have been non-factors (although you can defienitely make the case that J. Rich has developed into one. We'll see on Hubbs. He was underwhelming in what little we saw).

I'd say there's definite reason to be concerned with the state of the program. We're pretty Michael Crabtree in the college basketball world.

If you don't think this was a very winnable game, on a night when FL didn't play very well, more power to you BTO. To answer your question, there aren't very many " decent" coaches in the SEC. Several may be losing their jobs at the end of this season. Donovan is the best by far.

I give to the Athletic Scholarship Fund and have both football and BB season tix. I am also an alumnus of UT. Doesn't mean I know more than anyone else on here but I have been attending games for 40+ years and have watched some great basketball and football. At the same time, I have witnessed some horrible coaching and games as well. I think we are on the right track in football after a 4 year debacle, basketball, not so much. I like Cuonzo but do not think he will get the job done here. Hopefully Hart will cut bait the end of this season.

You answered a question I didn't ask, but didn't answer any of the questions that I asked. Why?

it doesn't really matter if the fire cuonzo martin or not. ut administration is too cheap to hire a real coach and they are too stupid to hire Bruce back. I keep hearing how cuonzo is such a high quality person, and that is a fine quality to have, but that doesn't make him a quality coach.

This simplistic view of McRae is BS. When their ill conceived / coached half court offense breaks down, they throw it to McRae with 3-5 seconds left and ask him to chunk it up in hopes he bails them out. His shooting percentage would have been much higher if you take those 6-8 shots out. McRae is the only guy they have who can make his own shots and CCM is more than happy to ask him to do so quite often. Without McRae, this team struggles to score 50 a night.

I blame CCM more than Maymon. All season Maymon's struggled with the ball in his hands in the paint yet CCM keeps going back there. He's a solid post defender who blocks out well and rebounds. He's also an asset to break the full court press and set picks. The shot selection should be in this order; Stokes, McRae, Stokes, McRae, Richardson. Everybody else is strictly fast break / garbage shots.
