When we go to Ny to play in Ohio State , players are site seeing, getting married and we play like our head is somewhere else and we get embarrassed.

The week sweet 16 / elite 8 we are offering 15 players for next year, we are discussing English cereals…

The day before the game we still discuss English cereal and players are saying that we don’t need to change anything from previous times we played TN….

The day of the game we sign a new player….

At the game , we show up like we are in vacation and show no pride…..

Sorry, I know i am pissed off but this one shows we learn nothing all season…

We got smoked by Ohio state , by Bama twice, by Ole Miss , by Auburn on our home where did not win in decades….and now by TN.

When it happens once is an accident , when it happens multiple times and the game preparation is not there… sorry but is not cool.

Everyone is upset. No reason to bag on anyone tonight. Just give it 24 hours and put together something thoughtful.

Solid year for a team put together in a few weeks after portal had been open for a while. We have one guy already, we missed on the best player in the portal tonight. There are plenty of good point guards in the portal still. Pope and his guys are working 24/7. Lets see how his full portal season goes. Lets see if he keeps everyone or if we lose some guys. Will be an interesting spring. Hope all guys get to campus early summer classes to start building that brotherhood. Hope they can come together and be a top 5 team. Only time will tell. I am not looking backwards, onward and upward. GO BIG BLUE!

I love Pope, but when you get smoked . embarrassed not once but 6 times… sorry .. the truth needs to be told , even might not be popular on this forum, so we can progress…

He needs to look at went wrong in all these games preparation. It’s one thing to lose but to completely miss the game preparation 6 times…

If winning, all you said do not matter at all...

Other coaches and teams in the tournament that advanced focused on the tournament not on the portal…

This tells me his priorities and attention were not where they’re supposed to be …
No, TN also arranges official visits


Do not think "priorities" are problem

Recruiting is year round. I guess pope shouldn’t have gone and watched Johnson during the season.

Is that your favorite one ?
Your priority should be to learn at least a little bit about college basketball, if you really believe any of the nonsense you have written in your various posts in the thread.

A troll in search of a grievance. Silly.
what exactly?

Pretend that we din not :
come out flat?
the whole week before the game we did not everything but the game prep?
change the offensive scheme after SEC teams lean everything you do?
our team cannot play defense ..
have any logic in substitution patterns…
miss the game prep for at least 6 games in a season , where we got embarrassed?

Not during the tournament,,, when you are in middle of war you don’t go out fishing… you send an assistant that is not part of the game scouting, preparation… and you focus on the task at hand cause you know what the mission is…

The best recruiting is when you reach final four…. That brings the best recruits , considering NIL money is there,,,

Everyone wants to play for a winner,,.

You have to start building those relationships early and show you're interested. It's a new era in college athletics. You may not like it, but you have to adapt.

Regarding the cereal complaint, give me a break.

If you're going to talk about the Alabama, Auburn, and Tennessee losses then you also have to mention that those are all top 5 teams. Let's also keep in mind that those teams didn't have Avery Johnson, Tony Barbee, or Donnie Tyndall on the sidelines. The current head coaches are all probably going to be in the Hall of Fame.

I would like to see Pope be a little harder on the team.. because the team totally not showing up last night IS reflective of the staff.
