Much better than I expected.
I have to keep reminding myself that we're developing young players and also have a young coach that is in the development process.
I'm hoping Martin can get the players looking inside when the game is on the line next year.
He says it a lot in post game, but the players just don't seem to get it.

It's not his fault he has no consistent offensive guards other than Golden on his team.

I would like to see any coach find a good offensive with the guards this team has.

I said 7 for one reason. WE SHOWED A LOT OF IMPROVEMENT NEAR THE END OF THE SEASON. If improvement throughout the season, and peaking in february and march is a trend for CCM's teams... it will be a welcome change compared to the previous hoopla and fizzle.

That being said... CCM has a couple things to learn about big time college bball coaching:

#1. When to call a Fn TO to stop 10-0 runs.
#2. Implementation of a Fn Zone defense once in a while.
#3. How to score against a 2-3 zone defense.
#4. No matter how tough you are and how hard you work on defense... and you better keep it that way!!! STILL ,you can't win without gettin some boys who can FILL IT UP!

7. Would like to see what adjustments he makes and look forward to the future.

I think this team had 4-5 more wins with gameplan adjustments that didn't happen when they needed to.

I was going to mention that this has been a big learning experience for Martin. The bright side is that we will most likely only improve as time goes by and everyone gets more experience.

I think this team had 4-5 more wins with guards that were actually semi-consistent and a decent zone offense to get the ball inside.

I think we forget Coach Martin is young too. He's only in his 4th year as a head coach.

He'll get there.

If you can't break down the D after milking clock, don't milk it and attack, even if it's early. Milking it and walking it up makes everyone stand around and drives me crazy.

I agree. This team needs to run some more. Not a lot, but just enough to keep a defense off balance.

A little. But I think part of it is Kentucky is so much better than everyone else.

The SEC was still a top five conference.

Despite that, what UT did in conference should not be diminished. They were still picked 11th in a down conference.
