1. Did you not notice the minutes Ramar Smith logged tonight at PG? Or did you just see Prince out there and although Ramar brought it up the whole 2nd half, just assumed that he wasn't the PG?

2. Bench him for who? Our only other two offensive skilled players who have 4 fouls with 11 minutes left in the 2nd half?

3. Ramar was the only offensive hope we had in the 2nd half. 19 more made FT's wouldn't have won the game so 5 misses weren't a big deal.

4. There is a reason Prince didn't play much PG at Arizona and it went beyond his illness.

5. He'll be back.

6. Crappy tourney still equaled the best season in Tennessee basketball history. Way to attempt a positive, only to ruin it with a negative.

7. He did, and he got stuck with a #2 seed, a terrible draw, and a team that went ice cold and couldn't stop a middle of the pack offensive team when they needed to.

8. Pitino isn't going anywhere and not only does he need to play him to learn something, he needs to become his close, personal friend in the process.

9. Again, try to be positive and post a childish response to being beat thoroughly by a better team. It doesn't matter what he did or changed, Louisville was still going to win.

Guess U Guys Dont Read Well
The Move Of Changing The Line Up Was Just Dumb.
Took Chance Didnt Work.
I Love Bruce And The Boys..
They Peaked Too Early As I Have Stated On Here 100 Times And People Said I Was Crazy.
Louisville Ripe For Beating. But We Shot Horribly Because We Took Stupid Shots...with The Wrong People Taking Them And We Made Stupid Fouls.

Wow, I can't believe I agree with you this much. Other than #5, I think you're dead on. That's a 50/50 prop.

Two things "factors" worked against us.
#1 Chism gets two quick fouls before the guys have a chance to work up a sweat.
THAT changed the complexion of the game.
#2 Lofton's foot must have still been bothering him.
He just never had a chance to get hot EVEN though he was heavily defended all night.

I said coming in to this game TO BEAT LOUISVILLE
We have to
STOP GETTING TICKY TAC FOULS/ GET IN FOUL TROUBLE

LOFTON HAS TO HAVE A SIGNATURE NIGHT

MAKE AT LEAST 80% OF OUR FT'S

I don't know what our final FT %age was, but the first two things I have listed DID NOT HAPPEN
Hence...155 days until Football season
It's been an awesome year. Let's hope for more of the same and better next year
God Bless those guys! Thanks for a great year!
GO VOLS

My 2 cents...

**Chris Lofton was in a funk all year! Last night was no exception!
**We had better be looking for a point guard if we want to be an elite team.
**Wayne Chism ...quit making silly fouls!
**The refs were terrible last night! However, they did not cost us the game.
**Ramar Smith or JP Prince is not the answer at point guard.
**Lets try to implement another offense. Everyone has caught on to our off ball screens. Check our stats the last 6 weeks...offensive performance has dwindled.

************With all that said...great job Vols!****:clapping:

1. never replace your pg's who have brought u to 29 wins going into ncaa tourney. Do you really think we would have won if Ramar and Jordan were the PGs. I don't think we beat Butler with them.
2. catch a clue and when your star shooter cold...bench him.Who do you put in for him that will score for you?
3. make ramar shoot ft's all summerI'm sure Bruce needed you to tell him this
4. make jp going to dribbling school with 5th graders.We get it JP is not a PG, Bruce knew we couldn't win with Ramar and Jordan he was trying something different. This is the same thing people (I'm guessing you) bash Fulmer over.
5. pray tyler comes backAgain, I'm sure Bruce needed you to tell him this. You must think the man is an idiot.
6. thank chris and jujuan for a good year...crappy tourney...although i thought jujuan D was good tonight.Yeah tell two guys that just ended their careers that they played crappy in the tourney, what is this going to accomplish
7. Ask Pat how to survive and advance.Yeah, women's B-ball is so competitive before the final 4
8. pray you dont have to play pitino again.I guess he should pray he doesn't have to play Rick Barnes, Stallings, BCG, Pelphrey either since they beat us this year as well. We should go around being scared of people
9. dont overthink it....YOU DID GREAT JOB ALL YEAR BUT INTHE TOURNEY....NOT SO MUCHAgain, he must be an idiot thanks for pointing that out
