"If only"..."the refs"..."could have"..."should have"..."wait until next year"...blah...blah...blah. The only thing that matters is UT lost again. This team will be lucky to win 3 SEC games. Hmmm...just how hard is it to recruit a shooting guard? It ain't rocket science!! Martin should be fired today, and I guarantee you the equipment manager would do a better job at coaching. Just like football, the basketball players are nothing but a bunch of pathetic little girls/babies. I would make them practice and play in diapers. Under Martin, there has been no improvement or player development. Anywhere else, Stokes would be a highlight reel. If Pearl were the coach, this team would be 13-2 or 14-1. As usual, 95% of UT fans have the "only if" and "wait until next year" mentality.

Okay. Enough. If Stokes had any work ethic and wasn't lazy as he!! he would be a highlight reel. Undersized post players have to develop their skills - themselves. He has to get to the gym outside of practice and take a 1000 shots so that he doesn't have to be 2 feet from the basket to make a shot. He also has bad footwork and seems lost on defense and rebounding. They need to watch Izzy and Bashaara pursue the basketball on rebounds - that is part learned skill but mostly want to. And the Martin bashing is almost turning into racism it seems. It's Year 2 and basketball is about the players for the most part. They have to want to play defense and bang and hustle and Trae plays when he wants and Jarnell can't stay out of foul trouble. Kudos to Cuonzo for benching their behinds. Fricking Microwave generation - right now. Right now. The sky is falling. The sky is falling. I want my gratification right now. Well even in our best Tennessee basketball days under Jerry Green, they still had lapses. We've never been a basketball powerhouse - Oh yes we have, GIRLS! Get over yourselves.
