worst defense I have seen from us all year.

worst defense I have seen from us all year.
Carter left his man and Q didn't rotate. Sheesh. really bad personnel decision by Howland tonight.
Why is Peters not in? Is he hurt? Down 21 it doesn't matter if he fouls out.
I said we were no where near as good as I (as in my opinion) thought.Quote:

You see why it's not an overreaction? I was wrong. What I think of our team has no bearing on what you think of our team. I thought we were better
Atleast we have Missouri next game. I don't know if would beat them with kind of effort though.
And right on Q, so does Q. This is a team just mentally asleep right now.. We'll be back next game.Quote:

Unfortunately, they pretty much blew the NIT shot tonight bc we aren't beating South CarolinaQuote:

Howland's sub patterns have sucked ass this game.Quote:

Buy/sell... if Kentucky would've poured it on when they were up 17 Tuesday night, we win tonight.
Look, the talent is there. We just need more experience so we understand you have to bring it every game. Tennessee had a double digit lead on the road against Ole Miss and let it slip away so they came out fiery. We played toe to toe with Kentucky so we thought we were hot shit. Obviously, we have a lot to learn. This is a good teachable moment for Coach Howland.

Our good stretches are getting longer, but we're always going to have games like this from time to time.
Datcher didn't even touch the guy. They shove us around, we don't touch them and get the foul call. Tennessee's been flopping all game, and the refs are rewarding them for it.
If I'm Howland, I would rip them a new asshole though.
We're going to destroy these guys at home. Book it.
They have fouled more then we have just not called it.Quote:

Much of this goes back to the called fouls and the non-called fouls. I replayed many that were totally missed both ways for us. UT got every advantage.Quote:
