Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[gordonr24]

You can be middle of pack SEC and be a 3 or 4 seed in NCAA Tournament.

11-7 in conference play will get UT a 3 seed. The SEC is that good.

 

[BigSteve09]

Yeah pretty much

 

[jakez4ut]

We also shot 20+ more shots. Thats absolutely ridiculous to win rebounds and get more shot opportunities and still lose.

Exactly... And it's not like all those shots were terrible.. There were a lot of good looks we just missed... That gives me some hope...

Sometimes the opponent shoots better than their best, and you shoot worse than your worst

Can't win em all

Yeah we're shooting in to a thimble... They were shooting in to a tub...

Barnes hasn’t recruited well enough, especially in the post. Outside of Grant Williams, post play has been subpar in the Barnes era.

I love Rick and what he’s accomplished here, but the talent isn’t there.

Agreed

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

And that was at home. I don’t get it.

You are assuming we go 11-7. Not looking likely at this point.

Insult to injury




That's pretty damning for the roster and the staff. Gonna have to take a long look in the mirror and figure this out. Gonna be more of the same until they shoot eyes out or make changes

Hope this was one of those Barnes “let them lose to teach a lesson” games, because we can’t keep bricking games away.

Good grief, McGill mad about this thread he would need to have to be rushed to ER going through the game thread at the moment.

At the end of the day, it’s a regular season basketball game. Sometimes you shoot crappy and lose. Good news is it looks like ZZ will be fine.

That’s a strange quote though unless he means the entire team. Chaz shot 10. ZZ shot 11. Gainey shot 8. Milicic shot 8 but hit 4. Who did he want taking them?

yeah I think he means all those guys, particularly down the stretch

 

[screenthis]

I wrote off losses, especially Florida, to being on the road. Welp, this was a home game and...nope. tired from Auburn game?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

We just can't stop shooting 3s. Edit 45!!! They shot half that many

All we needed was four 2s out of all those missed 3s. . .

Other than Chaz, everyone.

Zakai and Igor are under 30% on the year and Jordan Gainey is 34%

Watching the Senior Bowl practice on NFL Network.........

I would love to go with a NFL scout and just sit and listen. That would be so much fun.

That is a coincidence....NFL scouts say the same thing about being able to sit and listen to some volnation posters during college football games.

Well, he should have just said: “We decided to let them all shoot as many as they wanted.” I’m guessing he didn’t want Chaz and Gainey to shoot 18. But they only made 5.

Jaxson Robinson shoots 35% from 3 and lit us up in the first half.

I would guess he wasn’t suggesting Gainey. Igor hit half, so that’s why the quote is a little odd. Maybe they wanted ZZ taking them.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Same ****, different year.

Oh well, gonna enjoy Barnes while he’s here. May not be here much longer.

We got out played, out-coached and out-lucked tonight. Let the piece of trash run his mouth. Go to Rupp and beat the inbred smurfs to a bloody-pulp, if we want to shut them up.

Gainey had another bad shooting night and dribble the ball off his shoe at a critical moment tonight. I still think he has to shoot well if we go very far in any tournament..

Imagine if you dare, a former KY player, now head coach just making up whatever he thinks will insult Tennessee and make him sound like mister strategy. And then trying to plant the line in media stories, since the reporters aren't as quick-witted as you and would never think through something they heard from KY.
