I hate basketball

 

[BigSteve09]

Vescovi is one of our best free throw shooters, probably period, but especially inside of 1-2 minutes. Not the last two games. Really rough stretch for him.

I think his shoulder or something else have been nagging him and we won't know until the offseason

Barnes F’n Ball Baby!!!

I don't understand why fans do this. Most of the fail was on our players and Mizzou playing a helluva game. The 2nd half was actually really well coached. Barnes needs to place more emphasis on offensive production but players were simply failing to execute tonight in a lot of ways.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Our loss takes a lot of the fun out of the Kentucky loss today

 

[jave36]

Coach Barnes made the coaching moves to put the team back in it. Coach Barnes didn't injure Phillips or JJJ. Coach Barnes didn't make Zakai foul out on a dumb play. Coach Barnes didn't miss his free throws.

But yeah, totally, Barnes' fault

You can't absolve a coach of everything. We lost to a bad team and a double digit underdog. The coach is responsible for preparation, discipline, practice, everything. Every loss is on him, every win is on him.

No freaking words. Close to the season is going to suck.

Missouri is a good team. I do agree though we shouldn't have lost to them at home

Whose job is it to prepare the players properly and instill mental discipline in them? I'm a fan of Barnes, but this constant "he can't be held responsible for for how the players perform" nonsense is crazy.

 

[Govolsman98]

I'm numb to the buzzer beaters. I can do this the rest of the season and not feel a thing

They're very old - so despite not tons of time playing together, they didnt get rattled. They hit some prayers tonight too -

 

[Weezer]

We're just not as good as we thought we were. We're definitely missing pieces.

And I go back to what I said earlier, Barnes needs an assistant that can unlock the players' offensive potential. Even when we bring in high rated guys, we don't seem to get the offense out of them we should. They play defense great, but they're not living up to their offensive potential. It's like they're scared. Phillips should be much better on the offensive end than he has been.

imagine going to a message board thinking youre gonna be able to tell other folks not to say anything. The team deserves it right now. It is what it is.

 

[InVOLuntary]

At least they showed some heart. Sad thing that was the easiest game left on the schedule, IMO.

 

[you]

Wish plavsic was more athletic.

Looks like he’s about to fall down as he runs

 

[reVOLution33]

Refs stole this game.

.
No, they weren’t! Barnes and the Vols were at fault! Terrible!

We're here, brah.
I'm speechless, but I'm still here

 

[volinexile17]

Tough loss. Key played like a guy who wanted to win a game. So did Awaka and Mashack.

Rough night for ON. He’s gotta start losing minutes with his inconsistency. Would rather see the effort and physicality from Aidoo and Awaka at this point.

Officiating was inconsistent and haphazard, but can’t give away FTs. Didn’t do what we needed to do to close out.

Saw some positives but tough to be happy about this one.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

And it starts raining right after the loss.

 

[VolNash17]

How is Santi missing his FTs the fault of Barnes?

Well, Barnes recruited him. You could point to that

 

[Nuctech777]

Getting all the bad losses out of the way now.

[Govolsman98]

I feel bad for Key. His two best performances have resulted in last second losses

 

[Enki_Amenra]

These guys need some rest.
