hoops Rate this season

How would you guys rate this season? Lots of highs and lows, but I find it hard to say that it was a complete disappointment. Hopefully the flashes of brilliance we saw will turn into routine by next season. Can't wait to see what Martin does. As long as he doesn't underachieve, I think he will be a good coach for us in the immediate future.

GO VOLS!!!

I disagree. We were clearly a different team once January came. We did almost everything we could after that point. But I don't think it's unreasonable to be disappointed.

Martin's inability to motivate his team the last few minutes of a ball game to win the close ones is why next season will be no better than this past year. I have never seen a coach let his guys play their way out of a win by saving timeouts and not ripping into them when needed.

I expected a null season following so many drastic changes throughout the program and administration. Finishing second in the SEC during the regular season was a great accomplishment. No reason for this team to hang their head. This season was more positive in nature than negative. Picked 11th, finish 2nd. Well done.

Get better next year.

8.

Very good year. A lot of positives to build on.

Everyone is going to overreact to this game however.

All things considered, probably a 7. Not thrilled right now but very excited for the future.

People who watched games this year laugh at you.

Also, your reasoning is poor. Motivating at the end of games?

I say a solid 7. Close to 8, but not quite.

We certainly exceeded expectations. Still no reason to ever lose a few of the games we did but I'll take a 2nd place finish in the SEC. Losing in the first round of the SEC Tournament was extremely disappointing.

7.5

Seen every game this year buddy and watched Martin get out coached on several occasions by inferior teams, mostly in the last 5 minutes of the game.
