Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

I think this team's has 3-4 more losses. AL, KY and 1-2 more they shouldn't lose. Probably 2-3 games in the tournament max. I can see them dropping to a 3-4 seed. JMO

That's what I see happening

 

[mr.checkerboards]

He’s right though (for the most part). Good teams inexplicably lose road conference games from time to time. It’s happened as long as I’ve been alive.

But you can’t shoot sub-30%, home or away. That’s a big red flag. You’ll basically win no games with those numbers, elite defense or not.

If it was just one game it wouldnt be a big deal, but its 3 times this year. Its a concerning trend.

 

[BigSteve09]

At least we still have a month to figure it out. Just catch fire going into the dance, anything can happen. Hitting the snooze until then.

 

[Devo182]

It will be yet another early exit from the tourney in March. And after that we will hear the same old crap about Barnes. Oh he has done be yet tee here than anyone else. Then will be, well who are you gonna hire that will be better.

Gee, maybe enjoy the IMMENSE success from season beginning to end? Each and every game.

Spending a month at #1, regular season titles, an SEC tourney title...yet some would trade 28+ wins a year for making the EE once a decade while going 17-14 on average

 

[TheRain]

Nope. This is the year we win it all and Barnes wins coach of the year. And the Barnes haters will say "I guess I was wrong."

You had me at "Nope."

This team isn't different from any other of Barnes teams. They're subject to go ice cold from time to time

Will it be the year? We just let a 12-9 team walk on us that lost to some pretty bad teams this year. We don't bring it every game and this is why we will again lose before the round of 16. We have 0 dominant scorers.

We once again have nobody that can get to the rim.

I just would like to see a final four. That's all.

LOL

Nope. I've given up on JJJ being a killa. Not in his nature to dunk on someone. He'd rather shoot bricks from 3. Phillips has the potential. We haven't had a killa since AS.

Yup, UNC was literally 17-7 this time last year lol. Still made the title game.

March Madness is just a total luckbox.

We just have to hit the right dials 6 games in a row...and the right row. Shoot, we won 8 in a row heading into Michigan last season, including steamrolling the SEC tourney...


..just not the right 8 in a row literally just so much luck and timing involved it's almost laughable.

 

[Deebowbear]

I agree. Pope was on the trail the second Kodi Burns resigned. And was already on recruits Twitter mentions well before that. I continue to believe our new guy completes his job at his current employer and is announced a day or after their fans meet their new class.

Who are you leaning towards it being Faris

I guess we can only wait and see.
I know I'll have TN winning it all in my brackets.

 

[tnhunter 10]

Love this excuse. It’s almost as worn out as “oh I see the refs are at it again.”

I'm sorry they don't shoot 70% every game. Was it a pitiful performance, yes. But, they're still one of the best teams in the country.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Ive been begging for JP to take over at times all year. Hes honestly the difference between this team going deep and it falling flat.

UNC lost to a 16-loss Pitt team late last season


Do some of you all even watch sports?? Or ever play them?

That's the game. Smdh

 

[Orangeredblooded]

Divorce is actually much harder on men I think lol… it also shortens their life expectancy I think, wasn’t there a study or something? I take too good of care of mine He is spoiled.. I need a girls trip

It actually depends on the couple. It was hard on me and took me years to get to the point I started to believe and know I would be okay. It helped? that I had a teenager to raise and support on my on, which I did. .

When was the last undefeated champion?
The best team does not always win.......it's as simple as that.

 

[Weezer]

Why do they have to be a FF team to be excited to have a consistently good program?

I like Rick Barnes. Think he's a great coach. But I also understand completely how he can very frustratingly be considered the Mark Richt of basketball.

 

[butchna]

Who are you leaning towards it being Faris

That’s my strongest guess. Knoxville ties and majority of his resume in North Carolina.

 

[engineerVOL]

LOL

My man has been in the portal for a year, was he lost? He’s got 2 kids, IRA, and a beer gut by now.

The variance in basketball and baseball will always be unimaginable to the football-only fans.

They can't fathom it and think everything boils down to "want-to" rather than an inch here or there on your shot, swing, or pitch.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

LOL

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

That was a bad loss. Yikes.

I don't have a ton of confidence in this team to show up when it matters

Not as much as Bama lost to Oklahoma..
