No way we win

[volinbama256]

I don't care what excuses anyone makes, this team absolutely does not give a rip to be playing this game.... AT HOME?! Where's the pride in the home court?! I haven't seen a single kid make their first free-throw... Jordan M with 1 point into the second half? There is a time for excuses and "we were snubbed and don't want to be here", but this is flat sad.... Way to send the right message to kids for when things get hard and aren't fair in life coach-- just play half-arse.....

Still a lot of time to play. Simmer down. Wait to throw some chairs after the final horn.

The SEC didn't deserve more than three teams in the Big Dance. Kentucky losing to Robert Morris and UT probably losing to Mercer proves it.

Dude, it is the NIT. Relax. If people actually gave a crap about it, there would be more than 4,000 people there.

Richardson made all 3 of his free throws on one trip

Lulz.

three red headed boys and a bro with one leg shorter than the other can beat A Conzo getto team

That excuse makes no sense to me. If you put a ball on the court players will play. If they get their feelings hurt and don't care, they need to hit the road.

 

[UTjonez]

This is piss poor! I don't care if they do come back and win.

 

[nash101]

Competitors compete no matter if its Nit or a pick up game on the playground. These players don't compete and that is why they did not deserve or earn a trip to Big Dance

 

[the one]

we suck ....discussion over......bed time for bonzo

Not necessarily. If they have pride they do.

 

[iVol4Life]

Not playing like winners. Don't deserve to win. Even if they come back, they don't deserve it. I love UT to death but this inconsistency makes me sick to my stomach.

 

[orangefloyd]

We are about to do ky one better.

 

[fergie]

We have no pride in our school as a basketball team. This is as gutless an effort as I have seen. We are in the NIT because we lost games we should have won and then knowing we had to win against Alabama play like little 3rd graders that have never played the game. Cuonzo had better get this team's attention like practice tomorrow and run their butts til they drop. Losing to an A Sun team is never acceptable and should not be tolerated. If Martin cannot get this team to the NCAA tourney next year his seat is going to get very hot. We need guards that can handle the ball and learn to make free throws. Stokes needs to make his shots in the post and hopefully with Maymon coming back things will be better. Very poor effort tonight.

 

[nash101]

Sadly out-coached. Our schemes were pathetic. I don't it was lack of effort as the announcers commented often how much energy we played with. Our defense looked lost and bricked too many 3's early -

Last I saw they had 4 players in double digits scoring.

 

[Majorvol23]

kinda looks like last year's NIT ... hmmm

 

[Tennman47]

Looks like the NCAA got it right.

 

[lovavol]

Pull schollys....fire CCM....just find someone who has pride....we are destined to suck until we do

So good....

 

[UTjonez]

This how you validate the committee leaving this team out of the tournament.

 

[the one]

and everybody says we gonna win big next year..............prove it first......hahahahaha! we suck at football baseball basketball and trash can ball

 

[SmokeyLives]

Completely disagree. This is why people frown on Tennessee. We should compete no matter the opponent or tournament. This is embarrassing.

 

[87Vol]

Another brilliant inspiring motivational job by Cuonzo !!! Ya gotta love the way he is able to pull the absolute best from his players !!! What a leader !!!

 

[EricberryFAN]

So embarrassing man.
