I wish the football team had the heart our BasketVols show.

[The Tall Gguy]

The BasketVols play their guts out every minute win or lose.

 

[Just a VolinTears]

Yeah Barnes always gets his boys to grind. I also think it's easier to see hard, tough play on the basketball court than it is on the football court because football is such a physical game anyway.

Year 9 vs Year 3 man.

Culture takes a while to establish.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

I seem to remember year 3 of Barnes was showing this level of intensity.

 

[Defaultuser]

When are they going to show that intensity in the tournament? You know when it actually matters.

 

[Other_Guy]

Until the end of the big games when they fall apart and can't shoot.

1-2 in Hawaii. Disappointing. Just like football.

 

[thehardknoxlife]

Stop crying already jeez. SMDH

Are all you guys new to sports or something? I swear all yall are b's.

They got beat by top 2 teams in America. Not disappointed. Good grief

L O freaking L
In year 2 Heupel’s team finished the season ranked higher than any Barnes team has in 8 years.

Heupel won a NY6 game in year 2. Including the playoffs, the top 16 teams make it to the NY6 or playoff games in CFB. In basketball the top 16 teams make it to the ELITE EIGHT. A UT coached Barnes team has never made it to the elite eight, much less won there.

After almost 3 seasons at UT Heupel has won 68% of his games. Just starting his 9th season at UT, Barnes has won…66% of his games.

Lol keep telling yourself that. Is UNC gonna be the 3rd best team in the country after they dominate the paint against us next week?

This was supposed to be the year. This is the team. Best team Barnes has had in Knoxville. Makes me sick to see people saying "well, it was against 2 really good teams..."

WE are supposed to be one of the best teams in the country. Stop with the lame excuses.

Joe shoots same passing s we do from 3

… you do realize they were actually #2 and #1, right? Losing to Kansas and Purdue in competitive games does not mean we are not one of the best teams in the country

Tennessee.
Fall apart when it actually matters. Seems like it is in all sports.

Man I wish I hadn't created this thread.

No excuses here. We are ONE of the best teams in the country. Us and about 10 more teams.

Yeah, it's not like the football Vols losing to #8, #10, and #1. People are crazy here.

CJH won an orange bowl with a make shift team. Barnes has won nothing in his entire career even with Durant. Horrible comparison especially after losing both games to ranked teams in the past 24 hours.

Year 9 vs Year 3 man.

year 3 many wanted Rick gone because he couldn’t land the big recruit. Settled for guys like Grant Williams and Admiral.

Uh oh, the 2nd Place is First Loser contingent has arrived.

That was definitely the vibe around here. But, to be that guy, AS was brought in by the previous staff.

Orange Bowl aint winning nuttin' either. FF > Orange Bowl. Natty or Sorry Loser is the mantra round here folks.

 

[volfeeva]

Barnes has 2 point guards that can't hit on a consistent level. How can he be starting Vescovi when he simply is not a true shooter. Barnes seems loyal to his point guards like CJH is loyal to JM.

Barnes teams play good defense, and he's got some tall inside guys, but they never can hit outside shots when it's needed.
