As long as he finished over .500 this year, he deserves a third year.

What would make me happier than winning against Kentucky, is for Martin to show some fire and get after one of his players or a referee.

Well you don't have to worry about beating kentucky. They will beat us 30 points.

I always give coaches, in any sport, three years to implement their style.

Barring any unforeseen disaster, CCM will get a third year and should.

I have no complaints about this loss except that we lost.
Played all 40 but had a lapse beginning of 2nd half where we were out of control.
Those turnovers and a few missed FTs were the difference.
Best offensive effort on the road so far.

Other than the TO's, the offense did fine. They shot 47%. Maybe I'm letting the frustration of the season hinder my ability to judge this game.

However, it's ridiculous we can't do the little things.

Alabama is a bad basketball team.

He did today. I am not defending some coaching strategies but he was much more emotional today. Got in a ref's ear and it probably got the foul at the end if the half.

stokes didn't have it all game...hall gave more effort than he did

Tennessee just really doesn't have a advantage anywhere on the floor.. They lack talent....This is another average team in a bad overall league..

Maybe this team finally gets angry enough about losing winnable games and responds with a fantastic performance to knock off UK at Rupp. If that doesn't happen, though, our NCAA tournament chances are just about zero.

They'll lose Tuesday.

That means they have to 12-3/11-4 to finish the season.

Impossible? No. Unlikely? Very.

You have no complaints about the atrocious ball handling which led to the turnovers and our horrible FT shooting? That was the difference in the game. I had a huge complaint with that. It's inexcusable for a major Div I team to not have a guard that can bring the damn ball up for the floor. No excuse. That's piss poor recruiting partly on Pearl for putting his hopes in a guy whose grades sucked in Jones and Martin who hasn't recruited a ball handling guard in two years.

Best game they have played on the road yet. Stokes wasn't in because he is a liability at the line and Bama would have applied hack a shaq strategy on him. Mcbee finally hit a couple shots but continues to foul way too much...not the reason we lost. Game was there for the taking until the inexplicable turnover circus show at the end.
