I'm not a Martin fan by any means. The freak out over one game is just ridiculous.

Well we have seen this show before. We know how it has ended before and we are assuming that this year will end the same. Weak start, weak start to sec schedule, strong finish, no NCAA.

That could all very well happen. Just as good of a chance it doesn't end up like that.

No, but I think its unfair to judge the season off of one game, let alone the first one. Stokes misses more shots from 3 feet than any player in the history of basketball. Hard to blame coaching on that.

Do you know how many suicides we would be running after going 7-19 from the FT line? And I'm talking about back in my days at Lenoir City Middle School.

Yeah, but people know that this looks just like the last two years. People will give more slack if we had won. Look, if he doesn't make tourney this year then he should be gone. We have too much talent, experience, and memories of us going to the tourney (meaning expectations) for Us not to go.

Nope after u make them throw up from suicides, I guarantee they will be practicing their free throws.

Our conditioning looked fine. They need to shoot more FTs than running suicides. You realize running has nothing to do with shooting free throws right?

We lost by 2 more points than we were supposed to.

This team is identical to last season's mediocre excuse for a team....

We will lose early in the SEC and be begging for a bid to the tournament! All that with a less than impressive schedule....

Practice free throws with the team and they may not fool with it when u r not around.....run suicides and they will practice when u r not watching bc they don't want to run them again. My daughter was missing lay ups when she started playing ball....After every game, she had to do ten push-ups for every lay-up missed.....didn't take her long to stop missing them.

I understand the premise. I just disagree with it.

Inside outside game. Barton, McRae, Maymon and maybe Stokes if he can get the cement out of his shoes.

I'm not throwing in the towel yet, but the offense need to change or this is going to be a very long season. I can not believe that after a whole year with the same core players on the team we come out and play like that. Clearly not the players fault. Yes shots were not falling but thats when Cuonzo needs to have a go to play to end the drought or at least tell Mcrae to drive and get fouled. This offense was pitiful, and with the new rules Mcrae/Barton/Richardson should be averaging at least 25 free throws a game combined. Hope Cuonzo figures something out or this is going to be a long season.
