this team is ugly and i've watched them play in person. we'll be lucky to finish .500. I dont expect dilusional tennessee fans to admit that after seeing the dooley love fest the past couple years.

Did we finish above .500 last year? Did you see how ugly they looked last year the 1st half of the season?

Which is why my main thing I was saying to Top is that people don't have patience. The team went out and scored 44 points in the 2nd half, but you don't see anyone starting this offense is a juggernaut thread.

The over reactions sometimes are just a bit unreal.

If Tennessee were to have lost then ok, but look at the final product, that's always a rational way to look at things IMO.

Tennessee wins 66-52. If you would have said this AM, guys you happy with a 66-52 win tonight in a trap game, id have said hell yea.

Guys I thought we grew up a lot with this win. Last year and maybe at 1st of this year we loss this game. Our shots weren't falling so we attacked the rim and got to foul line. We would of jacked up 3's all game at 1st of year. Then most would get on here and complain we weren't going to rim. Now we go to rim and we suck???? Man we WON and that's a good thing!!!! The WC team had alot of quick players that played hard and made some shots. Hats off to CCM and the team for making progress, they are learning and getting better. Heck CCM even made adjustments 2nd half and they played much better!! At this point without JM that's really all we can ask.

Exactly. This had the makings of being an Austin Peay 2.0 game for us. We avoided that, and with that we finish our OOC slate with ZERO bad losses, compared to 3 bad losses last year, I'm no genius but I'd have to think that's improvement.

get a clue, this is the internet. the fact you even bring up wagering means you're dilusional. see my original posting about dilusional tennessee fans (though not all are)

Last I checked, you can wager on the interwebs. Well, unless you're dilusional (sic).

appreciate the wins, the losses will sting from time to time but why denigrate a team for "ugly wins" or games that haven't been played.

If your all big orange, show it!

Hard to watch the first 12 minutes of this game. Maybe we were looking past WCU and towards Christmas break. I was very impressed with Josh Richardson tonight. Probably the best game he has played. Looked great attacking the rim . Stokes got hacked every time he touched the ball and will continue to be fouled until he proves he can hit FT's.

He looked good at the line last game...not so much tonight.

I don't think that every person that complains dislikes Martin. You guys know I really like him, but he does have room for improvement

I still really like Martin. He pulled wonders last year in his first year and now, at the first signs of distress this season, they're calling for his head, just like the other nimrods in the football forum are calling for Hart's head because he "kept them in the dark" during the coaching hire and "settled for Butch Jones."

Our fan base is so damn fickle it's just stupid now.

Did you get exiled to UK???? I may be dilusional, but you sir are irrationale to think they will fall that far!! Heck our D will keep us in most games and they have shown some O at times. SEC will be tough but we'll be OK. Enjoy the ride!!!

One thing I want to add that I don't think has been mentioned about tonight. This was probably Trae's worst game of the season, and for most of the season this team on offense goes as Trae goes. Trae was 1-9 from the field, he couldn't buy a basket, but the team still found a way to score...thought that was a positive sign, but also a reason for such a lack of offense in the first half.

Exactly if this happened last year it would be a loss but not this year...our defense is up there with the best of them and will keep us in every game we play this year! Only team I see us having trouble with is mizzou because pressy is the best pg in the SEC but maybe our length will give him problems

You're one of those huh? Talk crap simply because it's the Internet and can hide behind a screen, how cute.

Bedtime bro.

You can also look pass some teams. Memphis almost lost to Lipscomb. Anyone want to bet that WC could beat Lipscomb by 10 or more????? Just sayin

Hope you're right, but I have a feeling FL is going to give us all kinds of trouble this year without Maymon. Also, KY isn't going to be a pushover and LSU and Ole Miss are playing pretty well.

I guess you are too young to remember the team that had Allan Houston and his Dad and finished 5-22.

That team stunk.

This one is just struggling.

That team was brutal, but Allan didn't play on that team. It was his dad's one-season tryout to prove he could win without his son. He failed miserably and was fired as a result.

I believe we lost to Western Carolina that year too. That was a sign of things to come.
