We had this game! FTs and jumpers. We hold a team to 60ish, we should win easily.

Tourney a microcosm of the season

Elite wins - Duke

Frustratingly Inconsistent play - FAU

This is so true.

 

[Revived2002]

Can Barnes retire

Barnes is fine

We will be back in the tourney next year

Post-Barnes, who knows where we go?

 

[volbeast33]

Funny you did not post after the Duke game but show up now.

The Duke game fooled several of us….. same old Tennessee

 

[jave36]

Lose another to an inferior opponent. 15-2 run in March, with no TO is mind-boggling. Can't do that . Gotta change the pace and slow the momentum down. Should have been called at a 6-0 run.

Barnes does that all the time. It's maddening. A 20-4 run should never happen, ever.

 

[Smokey123]

I know Barnes is a defensive minded coach but it would be nice to have some offensive players.

He doesn’t care about offense and then our players get in their own head

 

[TN-POSSUM]

now we enter the worst period of sports, may each of you enjoy the weather, time with your family, and exercise.

Baseball season

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

meh this team isn't very talented, they over achieved.

Yes they are

Barnes is just an atrocious game coach

Him not calling timeouts when teams go on runs is criminal

 

[Smokey123]

Barnes does that all the time. It's maddening. A 20-4 run should never happen, ever.

He doesn’t know how to call a TO

 

[UpstateVol613]

Actually I agree. Barnes over achieved with this team. Keys was a waste of a transfer scholarship.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

I know Barnes is a defensive minded coach but it would be nice to have some offensive players.

In this era especially. You have to be able to score.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Miracle time. . .

 

[Orange.]

2 3s. Gimme a miracle.

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

We let a small team beat us physically

Once you saw you were getting out rebounded due to speed and athleticism, go small.

Totally in control. Had a nice inside game going and good D.

Didn’t come out and dominate the second and let them chip away and go on a crazy run.

 

[Devo182]

Well.

Nice run by Barnes. Outdid the haters and even Vegas, by a good bit. Beat Blueblood Duke and reached our point of success in making the SS.

Ultimately never thought this team had the raw talent for much more. Losing ZZ cemented it. But a good run nonetheless, even better than expected given our underdog status vs Duke.

Onto Spring Practice. 15-0!

 

[volbeast33]

Post-Barnes, who knows where we go?

Hopefully someone that can get us to an elite eight.

 

[VolGee4]

Nope. Their big guy flopped all game. They were quicker.

Disappointing final season for JJJ

Kinda glad he's gone. No dog in him. I'm sure he's a good dude, but isn't a killa. That airball....ugly

 

[SpringBokVol]

He totally travelled

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

meh this team isn't very talented, they over achieved.

We got lucky without ZZ

As much as I like Barnes, he just is inexplicably a horrendous tourney coach. The Mark Richt of NCAAB.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

He doesn’t care about offense and then our players get in their own head

Exactly. It’s why you see our players looking lost and playing without confidence.

 

[Volator]

Barnes has them playing tight and not to lose. Kills us every time. Yes some bad calls but this should have been a double digit lead first half and we didn’t put our foot on the gas.

Don’t think Barnes was missing the point blank shots in the first half. Once we couldn’t pull away FAU started to believe. Refs started to control the game, then game over

 

[JT3]

At some point Rick Barnes is going to have to throw away his offense and start completely over.

And to get out rebounded by a team full of 6'2 guards and 1 true 7 footer is embarrassing.

Nonetheless, solid season and we went further than I thought especially without ZZ.
