It was 56-64. Then 71-64.

no one escapes blame.

No other way to describe that but utterly pathetic.

 

[real orange]

embarassing loss.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

It wasn't pathetic. True, not everyone was giving 100%, but it was not a "pathetic" effort by any means. See last year's NCAA game for the definition of "pathetic."

worst choke job I've seen in years.

 

[VolunteerTitan3]

This is embarrassing, and proves we didn't deserve to be in the real tournament! Crap, as a matter of fact i would have rather not been in either tournament than to go down like this..... Go Vols! Sorry so Negative.

You are right. The OP would have fit in nicely with that thread.

 

[BasketVolKid]

I mean... a TO woulda been really nice once they got to 62-64... maybe set up a play for maymon or stokes.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Don't think they needed a TO to discuss getting the ball to either of them.

Literally impossible. It was never 64-62.

But there was a TO at 64-61.

And another at 64-63.

So, unless you'd like CCM to call even more timeouts...

What we were doing sure wasn't working.

So maybe setting something up with a specific play mighta helped.

The only way to get CCM to call a TO would be for the fans to shout it out.

I was at the game. My take is our team looked really spent the last few minutes. GOlden basically let his man drive right to the basket for a layup uncontested twice in a row. Golden was limping around and Maymon was hurt. Even if we had won, I don't see any way this team would have recovered physically to play agian on Wed. Sad way to end the season but still better than most expected going into it.

CCM didn't call either of those TO's.

I didn't watch the game but did CCM use any TO's when they went on the seven minute dry spell?

 

[King Webbsticles]

So?

The play had stopped. Do you want him to call more TO's just so the little tick on the screen disappears. There was no need to call another TO, just for ****'s sake.

Sorry, but the last 7:11 was the definition of pathetic. The whole game wasn't but they just seemed to quit.

They needed something tho...a TO woulda done SOMETHING. Wow. just saw this and forgot we went out 0-15.

The scoreboard operator sucked!
