"Then the Vols did something they almost never do — they pressed and forced Kentucky's Julius Mays into a turnover."
More of this please! I'm starting to question this strategy, or lack of, by Coach Martin. There never seems to be a sense of urgency when they are behind with time running out. They don't even run up the floor when they have the ball. I still think they can turn the SEC season around and at least finish with a winning SEC record. NCAA tourney isn't looking like a possibility this year, unless there is a dramatic turnaround or conference tournament championship. Both seem unlikely at this point. I expect a much better team next year and think judgement on Coach Martin should be reserved until then. There were some positives in this game. McRae's improved play is continuing, Moore and Reese seem to be developing. Reese has looked good from his first game, and Moore might be the most improved player (other than JM)on the team. Tennessee fought hard for 40 minutes. That's about all I've got right now. On to the next game!
