We played well until those final minutes. The pressure got to them. **** happens. I'm still happy with the effort, and I hope they use the loss as fuel to get them further in the tournament.

Also, most fans suck.

Your reply is an ad-hominem. And anyone who can't address facts and resorts to baseless personal attacks is the epitome of idiot. So, well done sir.
The facts.

Will CCM get a raise and extension? Yes
Will UT lose the majority of its talent? Yes
Is the talent coming in to replace it mid-major level talent? Yes.

Asside from Hubbs, this team will be loaded with marginal players who are better to fill out a Mizz State roster than a UT roster.

UT has done nothing impressive to warrant a bid. It's just that the conference really is that bad. And, the at large field, according to the experts, is the worst we've seen in years.

So, I've provided an argument based on facts, and you are playing high school grab azz. Well done.

Are you a part the administration of our athletic department? If not, stop claiming that Cuonzo will be extended as well as receiving a raise. I'm pretty sure his body of work is about as average as your supporting evidence.

Tennessee proved today it can go toe to toe with the top team in the country on a neutral court. To win games like that, they have to be mentally tougher and can't make stupid mistakes.

Making a bucket in 10 minutes of play would help, too :)

Because they proved to be irrelevant. Apparently we needed a 20 point lead not to wet our pants.

So only one half of a game is relevant? Why not just shorten the games! Make them 20 minutes if that's all that matters.

That's funny.

If we win 5 in a row, it's cool for the Martin supporters to get on here and talk sh!t and thump their chests all day long.

However, if we lose and the anti-Martin guys question the coach or strategy, then they're all "idiots."

IMO, if you're going to dish it out, better be prepared to take it. After all...doesn't it make the forum better to have passionate fans on both sides of the issue?

It does as long as each side is debating the issues rather than calling each other names.

You don't get it because your assessment of people worshipping Martin is obviously incorrect and non existent.

So why does anyone that posts anything negative about him get blasted?

Seems the inmates are running the jail over here in the basketball forum.

Its on the players, its not on the coach, and it sure as hell isn't acceptable. For Mcrae and stokes to be calling wilbekin and Frazier the key to the game is just embarrassing. Hey idiots, you are the keys to the game. and mcrae played scared against wilbekin. He was willing to drive against 3 gators in the open floor but refused to take it at wilbekin. Weak minded team that can win a close game.

They just played there asses off against the best team in the country yet you still whine like an idiot

It was a 2 possession game with a minute to go. I'm sorry your blinded by your hate for martin but that is the exact definition of "toe to toe"

The team wildly underachieved this year. Buy I don't put this loss on martin at all. He said don't show up if you aren't here to win the tourney and Tennessee showed it couldn't handle the pressure of a close game and was too timid to ko a top tier opponent.

Unfortunately, I don't think our recruiting can afford to NOT give Martin an extension.

We were outscored 31-14 from wilbekins 3 on the first half on. Thats not toe to toe.

You can just take out one section of a game to make your point. We led by 10 just before half and were a couple of mistakes away from having a chance at the end.

I wasn't pleased with our offense by any stretch, but we definitely went toe to toe with Florida and I don't know how you can suggest otherwise.

I've intentionally stayed out of the forum for the most part, waiting to see how the season played out.
Well, the regular season is over and this team underacheived. People are overjoyed because the team will go to the tourney and because they won 5 games against wretched competition.

Any ciriticism of CCM on this forum is met with a barrage of attacks from the Gestapo. And that's why the forum is little more than a circle jerk for CCM supporters.

This will not end well. CCM will get a raise and extention and in two years UT will have to offer him some ridiculous buy out because he backed into the NCAA, and UT fans and AD are clueless when it comes to Bball.

1. The "Martin supporters" angle is ridiculous.

2. I don't care whether you support Pearl, Martin or digging up John Wooden to be the next basketball coach. When you refer to 18-22 year olds as cowards and idiots, you really, really suck.

True. However, I can't really say we lost this game due to any coaching deficiency on the part of our staff. Maymon lost his cool, and the entire dynamics changed completely with his departure.

A voice of reason. The foul was a bad call the T was worse. Maymon was walking away, the games emotional. As a ref you never want to change the outcome to save your ego. Very bad T call.

Yeah things are just a tad out of control over here with the personal attacks.

I don't give a damn though I'll see it again....

Terrible coach.

Well considering that the team didn't come out for the 2nd half it would be hard to say that the first half was relevant. Should we celebrate a first half? Are you guys on drugs. That was pathetic! The fact that we played well and built a lead in the first half makes the 2nd half that much more pathetic. The fact that this team has shown that it can play elite basketball makes this season all the more pathetic.
