Pick to finish at top of conference
Have a whole bunch of newcomers trying to be blended in.
Have 2 key players out for first few games of season.
Started season 0-2
Average loss by 15 points
Lost first game of season to a lower tier SEC team that most fans thought they could beat, and lost badly.
Lost badly to a team from what is considered a lower Div 1 conference, torched badly from 3 point range by them.
Shooting very badly from 3pt range as a team.
Shooting very badly from the Free Throw line
Starting PG has more turnovers then assists
As a team has 20 more TO then assists
Are being outrebounded on the year by opponents
Message board is full of complaints about team not knowing how to play D or defend the 3 point line or how to shoot free throws.
So can YOU name that team?

I didn't think this would be so hard.
A coach who inherieted a team loaded with talent when former coach moved on to a Major Conference school. Took team to Conference championship and a 1st round loss to Wake Forest in the NCAA using former coachs talent. Seems to be struggling so far with his own talent.
Signed 1 year contract extension before the season.
Main reason for the problems seems to be the loss of 2 Senior Forwards who were team leaders on and off the court and both now playing in Europe.
Has had several players leave the program since new coach took over hurting depth, exp up front.
Has a wide body Sr down low who is averaging a double double.
Has a JUCO player from out west who showed alot of promise in preseason but not doing much in regular season.
Hottest newcomer is in-state Freshman who was a Mr Basketball his senior year. Was highly recruited by many Major Div 1 teams.
Lets see it is a TENNESSEE school, in the Eastern part of the state. really close to state lines. Has the words Tennesee and University in its name. It is about 100 miles from Knoxville and true fans of the school hate The Vols. The Nickname is 4 letters and last 2 letter are CS as in - - C S
The team colors are Navy and Old Gold...
anybody have a guess? anybody.. Hello?
