Not a Bad season overall. wish we could have played better and be competitive for a final four appearance. We don't have a superstar and it's hard to win the game of basketball without one of those. Barnes is a good coach and I'm glad he's at ut. We can stay competitive for as long as he is here and then hopefully upgrade when he retires.

As I've said elsewhere, it's a matter of how much money you give him and his staff to go to the portal. The game is forever changed and even more so moving forward it will be a question of the best team money can buy.

@BernardKingGOAT

How you dealing with reality over there?

Your god Barnes just crapped the bed so bad UT is now in the history books as the WORST first half performance of ALL TIME while Pearl is killing MSU and about to be in the final four with Auburn AGAIN.

🤭 I apologize for Barnes shooting 21% in the first half.

Seems we got out schemed huh.

I mean in over 10,000 games in 40 years we somehow shot the worst with the coach known to choke. Shocking huh. It’s almost like this is Barnes MO.

Is it the intention of this thread to exhibit extreme ignorance disparaging our best coach in the history of our Men's basketball program?

When Chaz shot an airball from a jumpshot at the freethrow line...3 seconds after opening tip-off...I knew we were in trouble. Nobody else seemed to shoot well except Gainey...he had a career best type day. The rest of the team was cold shooting IMO and we had the game that us VOL fans fear in Bball...when we cant buy a basket.

Still super proud of this team. Back to back Elite 8 appearances among other accolades. ZZ needs special recognition for a couple reasons as a 4 time SEC all defense team guy (record) and the UT all time career assist leader .His records will be hard to break ever in the NIL era

No the purpose of this thread and me posting in it is to get your asshat comments you always direct at me out of the NCAA thread we’re TN first fans are hurting and don’t need you calling them stupid right now.

We just got whipped in a historic level. Leave them alone. You’re a bully. Stupor calling posters stupid who love TN but want change. Just put a pause on calling out hurt fans for a day. Let them vent.

If TN had fought as hard to save Pearl that the did to save Nico he would still be here and that bothers me. The BBQ would never even be an issue in 2025 with NIL. It’s hard for me because the image of him in all orange cheering on Pat is etched in my brain and I feel he was a scapegoat to save our FB program from overflow investigations which is where the big money lies. I was cool with Barnes until he tried to leave for UCLA. After that, I could take or leave him. His record is his record and I knew Pearl still had a brighter future left in his career. Sucks cause I love TN but I miss the old coach.

Why did Bruce lie about the BBQ? Because he was cheating like crazy and thought that lie would keep them away...

Dude……
I’m scared to death we go back to the days of Conzo when he’s gone. DW has proven he hires winners so I guess I should be more worried about losing him than Barns.

If DW hires the next coach, it will be someone who puts up lots of points.
DW shared his philosophy of coach hires a while back.

There is a list of like too 30 cheaters of all time. Think Houston coach is number 7. Pitino is 8.

I fall under the belief they all do it. Everyone of them.

Been around athletes my whole life from multiple schools and everyone one of them had a loaner car.

We aren’t.

I trust DW. We are back to the TN we grew up with where winning matters. Great time to be a Vols fan.
