on. We were physical until the 10 minute mark and then we started playing soft.
Tennessee scored about 77 points in 30 minutes of play. I don't care how good they are that's just bad. The game was played at a fairly slow pace so that many points is embarrassing for us as a program that should be built on defense.
I am well aware that Tennessee is an elite offensive team but it's not like they can just shoot over you. They just take advantage of soft defense.
Cuonzo isn't going to tolerate that kinda of p*ss poor defense for very long. He said that we were going to force them to make 10 three's to beat us and they only made seven and beat us by 24. That has got to get his blood boiling.
5 fouls, 1-4 from the field and 3 turnovers in 9 minutes from Tilmon is just unbelievably bad. He needs to get his head right.
