We drop Barnes, we head to the gutter for a while - book it

Do you not have confidence in DW to make a good hire?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I think they will, but it's tricky, they haven't played a defense like ours yet.
No team has scored less than 63pts and beat us. Only 1 (UK) scored less than 66pts and beat us. If they go over 61.5, I think we still win, so they may not go o65.5. Could be a strong parlay odds for o61.5 + u66.5.

I hope some of you saw this and took it.

I've got K-State playing Houston for the Championship in my bracket. With UCLA and AZ as the other 2 in my final 4.


***I would love to see KSU's Howell vs UCLA's Tiger Campbell

You wanted to call me out so bad for pointing out that they are trash as hell offensively. Love it, Amazing stuff. I’ll try to recruit better players since it’s on me. Enjoy the rest of your night.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Don’t blame the refs at all. We sucked offensively, got out rebounded by a much smaller team, and Barnes doesn’t know how to manage in-game. Simple as that.

Decent season with some luck at the end to go to the S16.

Throw 10mil at jay wright

Yes!

 

[VolGee4]

It wasn’t as bad as Tennessee fans will make it seem… but I do think the refs allowed Fau to play a little more physical than they allowed UT to

They didn’t physical at all. Their 7 footer was soft and flopped all game…literally.

 

[AppStVol]

We need some new coaching blood on the bench. Particularly an offensive specialist.

Barnes offense is awful and teams unlocked the code early in the year by playing physical and running our shooters off the perimeter. It’s a miracle that Vescovi was able to score as much as he did.

 

[csprig9]

Why do you think Barnes is that good? Why do you think we can’t get a better coach?

I don’t understand this logic either
Barnes supporters act like we’re gonna be crap again when he retires and they don’t let anyone criticize him for anything bc I guess they think he has tiny feelings like they do
He is the best we have ever had but there’s no reason we can’t stay good when he retires
I do t understand why we can’t get a good young coach and continue the momentum he helped create

Uros doing his moronic thing he does every game contributes to that. But I don't think it was skewed significantly against us, and no one hates basketball officials more than I do.

 

[RudyVol]

If we rebound better tonight we win. Awaka, our best rebounder, didn’t even play. What happens to Rick in March?

False, see DW’s home run with football.

Good offense beats good defense all day everyday and twice on sundays.

 

[BigSteve09]

Disgusting.

We knew though, @BigSteve09 @UTSuave’

The worst part was knowing it was coming. Makes me sick.

To be honest, he and santi are the only reason we were in the game.

Not a chance. Danny White hires winners. He has won everywhere. We would upgrade 100%. Nate at Bama style hire would come. We’re already paying Barnes top five money. We would be just fine. Leadership is finally all in.

 

[Revived2002]

Do you not have confidence in DW to make a good hire?

I like DW, but I think coaching hires are crap shoots no matter who the AD is - it’s less that I don’t trust DW and more that I don’t think there are very many coaches like Barnes out there who can consistently get to the tourney

Great comparison honestly

 

[Smokey123]

Barnes can be the best coach Tennessee has ever had while also needing to retire and the game passing him up. Both can be true

 

[jave36]

IMO This team over performed considering injuries and lack of shooters. Defense carried them to lots of wins, but without ZZ at the end and without a healthy JJJ for much of the season our offense just struggled. I am not sure JJJ was ever 100%. It hurts to lose like this, but lots of teams are just wishing to be in Sweet Sixteen

Agreed, but losing because we got out rebounded by midgets still stings.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I didn't want to believe it.

 

[LakesiteVol]

At the end of the day, this team truly overachieved. When you have an entire roster full of streaky shooters, you usually won't win near this many games. I appreciate what those guys gave for Tennessee, but personally I hope all the seniors leave and we bring in other players. The team might not do as well as this one, but I'm pretty confident this is by far the best you will get out of this particular team. GBO

[RudyVol]

We have a bunch of scrubs too. Time to call a spade a spade.

Tyreke Key is a bona fide scrub. JJJ is a bona fide scrub. Plavsic is a bona fide scrub.

Yea it wasn’t enough to make a difference in the game
