That's right. You were the spark which ignited the OT.
Mods were hesitant because they expected a lot of inappropriateness or somesuch?

They claimed the PF OT thread souks be in the Pub.

Kinda defeats the purpose of having an OT thread for the PF if it's in another place.

Ok I’ll say it. Is it time for Barnes to start thinking about retirement?

No. This team has talent and he’s got a deep bench with more talent on deck.

Look at the mild cats. They have talent they just couldn’t gel. Same situation here. They just could never be consistent and click. And they’d be fools to cut Calapari

Our two best players, the freshmen, are probably leaving for the NBA. Pons, our best defender, will be gone too.

That said, I still think Barnes is a good coach. It would suck to see him retire. I don't want to go back to the Wade Houston dark ages or end up with an NCAA scandal in basketball too, like with Pearl and Tyndall.

Damn I hope not. I hadnt heard they are testing the waters.

Still it’s crazy to even be talking about BasketVols freshman good enough to go pro which is a direct reflection on Barnes.

Team has been inconsistent all year. No one has stepped up to lead. Didn't help having Fulky out after that cheap shot in the SEC tournament.

Springer and Johnson have always been considered one and dones. They're both projected first round picks. The surprise would be if they stayed. Hard to pass up the guarantee of first round money.

They're both projected to be first-round draft picks, Keon Johnson rated as high as 5th as I recall. That's big money for those youngsters.

We need a big for next year. We missed out on the two we were chasing. Maybe Brandon Huntley-Hatfield reclassifies and commits to UT, but if not, we need to hope one hits the transfer portal. We have 5*PG Kennedy Chandler coming in with 4*SF Jahmai Mashack.

Maybe the basketvols will wake up and realize there is no tomorrow. This is the worst I remember seeing them play this season.

This team has been such a disappointment. I had high hopes for them this year. Inconsistent play, weak perimeter D, and long scoring droughts plagued this team most of the season.

Víctor Bailey was mostly a flop and there wasn’t much senior leadership.

We need guys that can score. Barnes teaches great defense, but offensively, we have struggled all year.

Dadgumit....misplaced my phone today, again, and found it. Never had a passcode, so thought to myself I better put one in. Had the number all figured out and even use it in other passwords. Now I cant get into my phone and might have 1-2 more attempts before having to reset..What transpose did I put in...twice!

The man just can’t get it done come tourney time and if those freshmen go to the NBA our talent will drop.

Yeah. Put Fulkerson in there today and it’s a different outcome. The younger big slow dumb looking white kid isnt Fulky. Of course Fulky wasn’t Fulky three years ago let’s hope for a productive off season.
