IMHO, the Vols' inability to come out of the tipoff primed to hit shots is what lost us the game. If we could have gotten into a decent shooting rhythm in the opening minutes, we would have won fairly easily IMO.
IE, I will say that Martin has struggled to get the players mentally prepared for (specifically) the opening tip.

My three biggest Cuonzo complaints:
1) He doesn't use timeouts.
2) He doesn't push tempo when it gives UT an edge or is working.
3) They look sluggish to start games.
