The Official Tennessee vs. UTEP Game Thread, 9:30pm ET, NBCSN

What a waste of 2 hours. Would have been more fun standing in line for black friday than watching this garbage.

 

[tnvols72]

just watch , we will hear how utep led the Mexican cartel at half and lost by 1. they will make the tourney and win their conf.

 

[bkells66]

Tim Flloyd suprised they got the win. Shows you how bad we played

 

[volgrad500]

LOL HOLY **** even Floyd said he was surprised at the win. We are a joke

 

[VolGee4]

Where are the CCM defenders? The guy can't coach. Admit it.

I don't understand why there are divisions. The "defenders" just simply said that he did ok his first two years under tough circumstances and that this was the year. I have always said that he needed to make the tourney this year. I am waiting until the end to see what happens.

 

[TechnoVol]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

That's for Cuonzo and not the players BTW.

Coach Floyd just said he was surprised to win this game. Why? He knows he just beat a more talented team.

 

[SpringBokVol]

This entire coaching staff should be shown the door.

Clean house.

Pearl goes to the dance every year with walk ons on the team. Bozo is loaded with talent and sits on the bench with his thumb up his behind. Pitiful!

 

[VolFromNashville]

It's the coach's job to get these guys ready to play and win games. When he doesn't, it's fair to criticize him IMO.

 

[kw7pd4]

Martin would NOT be fired if they don't even win half their games this year. Bet on it.

 

[vol4life8]

UTEP just wrote the book on how to shutdown McRae and Barton. Going to be a long season.

 

[Instant_Offense]

Terribly disappointing game. Way too much talent to look this bad. This may be a rough season...not looking forward to the coaching arguments after what we have dealt with in football.

I have a difficult time conceiving much of an argument for CCM at this point. The parallels between he and Dooley are unmistakable.

 

[tennrich1]

And the sad part is this team is LOADED !!!!!

 

[StillStanding]

No energy!!!!!!!!

 

[vols 30]

About to be 3 -3 after the Xavier game. Horrible start to the season

 

[bkells66]

Another thing that gets me mad beyond belief is that Cuonzo had SIX DAYS to prepare for this game and we come out and lay an egg

 

[volgrad500]

This entire coaching staff should be shown the door.

Clean house.

If it's not at least being discussed at this point, you have to start asking why. We have way more talent than UTEP. This team is an NCAA tourney team talent wise-but this loss is just horrible.

I am not defending CCM, but this is the kind of stuff that is dumb and simply not true. Pearl inherited a team with an NBA point guard and an All-American shooter. Don't just make stuff up. But yes, I enjoyed those days.

 

[DadslilVol]

Fire bongzo.

 

[nagle]

Did not get to see the game, was it bad?

 

[drgreear]

Slow, unenthusiastic, sloppy, boring, and just straight up awful basketball!

 

[volgrad500]

Did not get to see the game, was it bad?

Depends. Would you enjoy a good prison rape? If so, you missed out.

 

[VolGee4]

This is dumb too. Martin has beaten 6 ranked teams and has winning seasons. Again, I am very disappointed and losing faith. But don't stretch the truth when you are criticizing him.

It's going to take poor attendance to get their attention. I'm thoroughly convinced that a coach could go 0-30 there but keep his job if the arena was still getting packed out.
