That was f-ing pathetic. I have rarely been that embarrassed to watch a "performance" by a UT team since getting drilled by Western Carolina and Frankie King in 1993. I can't even begin to discuss the problems I saw tonight, but I'll hit the highlights.

1. Shooting. I am certain we were less than 50% on free throws and 20% on threes. Unacceptable. I can take the 3s being missed as something that just happens, but free throws were utterly horrendus.

2. If those Mickey Mouse guards were eating us up for the entire game, we stand no shot against anyone with a pulse at PG. I can't believe an undersized DII team beat us by 15 because of two guards. Unreal.

3. I have said for two years that McBee should never have gotten a scholarship, yet every yokel wanted a local kid (just like football). Here's a hint; local kids don't play any harder because they love the T, they usually just suck.

4.I have rarely seen a team collectively crap their pants as UT did tonight. I have no idea where the leadership will come from, but it wasn't anywhere to be found tonight.

5. I miss JP. He would've slithered through that zone all night and no one did that tonight. I think there are guys capable of doing so, although nobody bothered.

6. I think it's pretty obvious we need to get the ball to Tobias in the middle of the floor. We were much more effective when he had the ball in his hands (the few times he did.)

All in all, a wretched performance. I hope they are forced to watch the game as soon as they hit the locker room and have a midnight chew out session. I've known a few coaches to pull this and this effort deserves such a treatment.

As for the future, I will hope that tonight was an anomaly and certain players will not see the floor much anymore.

There were some early season Buzz performances that were exceptionally bad.

you obviously forgot the 3 coaching tenures between then and now, but i guess it works for effect.

No, I haven't, Pearl's better than all of them. However, none of them lost to a DII team by double digits. So, yes, this was more embarrassing than anything they ever did.

Oh no, they lost a scimmage. No chance for them now, and to think I was excited about b-ball.

I'll go with losing by 30 points to a Steve Alford coached mid major in the NCAA Tournament as more embarrassing than a loss in a game that doesn't count.

We lost one Buzz's first year. One of the UCLA O'Donnell's was on the team we played. It was before you couldn't play the "all-star" teams.

2. But Boob had all kinds of praise for their guards...said we may not face a better two. C'mon, really? It's India-freakin-napolis.

I completely agree. I heard Blob say that one of their guards would be an All-American in Division I. He's a moron.

An absolute joke. I enjoyed Pearl's explanation about why we couldn't guard their guards: Bone was out.

If the perimeter players keep performing like that, Corey Fisher and Ashton Gibbs might both post Jodie Meeks numbers.

It's pathetic. Having Fields down there ought to allow us to really extend. Instead, we seem to just sit back on our heels.
