It's not like he had to completely rebuild a team on probation or anything.

Did you watch the Oakland game last year? Carbon copy (but obviously by a less talented Vol team and against a less talented opponent). Dominated early and just let off the gas, let them hang in the game. Then late in the game simultaneously became bafflingly unable to get the ball inside and allowed them to get hot shooting.

It was like watching the same terrible movie over again.

Oh that team that won their conference and went to the NCAA tourney? Great comparison

With his last class and what he has already started on the next, they will be back much sooner than we will, and it was a MUCH bigger mess to clean up. Crean is who I wanted too. I've always liked him from his Marquette days.

I thought the same thing too, at first. Comparing a 1-9 team to an NCAA tourney team and conference winner with an NBA center. However, I think he meant the flow of the two games was similar and how they played out in the end obviously was, but on the surface that looks like a bad comparison.

I should hold onto this post when Austin Peay wins their conference and goes to the NCAA tournament. [Don't freak out--I'm kidding here, but they were the preseason #1 pick after returning 4 starters from a team that finished 2nd last year.]

Yes, I was talking about the flow of the game and how they played out. What we did to lose, etc. I thought I'd made that clear in my post. I thought I even said something like "it was like a re-run except with less talented teams." Maybe I forgot that part.

At any rate, the question is what happened for us to lose the game, and what happened for us to lose the game was pretty much identical to what happened against Oakland last year.

That said, if we're talking disparity between the two teams. . . #7 in the country vs. #1 in the Summit compared to #11 in the SEC vs. #2 in the OVC.

We stopped feeding the ball to Maymon and Hall in the paint (5 shots in the second half combined after dominating in the first half). Pure and simple, that and bad defense (letting AP shoot 73% in second half) lost the game

Austin Peay was picked to win the OVC this year. Yes prior to this week AP was 0-9 but they were without the big man J Fraley (concussion). He has been very pivotal to this team and having him back for yesterday game showed reasons why. Also the Govs shot 72% the 2nd half.

73%, but who's counting? Just messing.

I finally figured out what went wrong. The game was played at home and those darn fans just sit on their hands and didn't cheer enoungh to make this team a winner.

This loss can be attributable to no defense and no discipline in the second half, and Martin deserves some blame. Maymon gets 14 in the first half and then 4 in the second half--apparently because he wasn't getting the ball; instead, the guards were hoisting up a bunch of shots that they missed. Martin should have been in the guards' kitchen--telling them to get the ball to the big fella in the low post. And until this group decides to get after it on defense, the losses will continue. We gave up 45 points in the second half--horrible.

Although there is sarcasm in what you say it is very true. No excuse for such a loss to a beatable team but the Fan response during the game was pathetic. Even the announcers were taking shots at how quiet it was. I've heard more noise at an NBA game than what was displayed on TV yesterday.
