It’s all context genius. Look at the post I responded to. “Who do we get after Barnes/we go back to the dark ages”. If that happens, I quit wasting my Saturday nights and raising my blood pressure watching poor basketball. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory two games in a row is “poor basketball”.

So thank you for your sincere concern, no one is forcing me to watch. I value my time and don’t want to waste it watching poor basketball. That includes both unimaginably stupid play at the end of two virtually “won” games in a row OR total Wade Houston ineptitude.

Well since you are such an intelligent person maybe you can explain to this not so smart person, if you are not being forced to watch why are you watching ? Come on man stop wasting your time, you’re better than that…

I'll say it again the players play like they are coached. Barnes failed again in his recruiting by not having another point guard other than ZZ. He has failed to bring in a consistent scorer so we have what we have. A mediocre team that has no tournament chance again. They should have let him go to UCLA instead of giving him $6 million that he had not earned.

That’s my inference……I have come to the realization it IS BECOMING a waste of my time. So, the first word in my answer to your question “are you being forced to watch was “no”. Asked and answered. If we go back to the dark ages I won’t be watching. If the bad play continues, I won‘t be watching. My time, my choice. The whole point was “going back to the dark ages“ just makes it an easier decision.…

Anyway, thanks for sincerely caring enough to ask if I was being forced to watch since I’m “too old to watch” now. We wouldn’t want any ”elder abuse” by the poor old man being forced to watch inept/impossible to lose games being lost at the buzzer two games in a row, I have spent my allotted time today on TN basketball and need my warm milk and bed. Good night and GBO!

Meh, we are still a great team and this a great era of Vol hoops. I still believe in this team. We are the same team we were, just have run into a rut. Will either be a turning point or we will limp home.

We made the tournament ONE time in my life (1989) between my 1st grade and senior year of college (1998). Y'all need to enjoy that we have a team good enough to get angry about. These guys can play and we have it in us to turn it around. Hate on Barnes etc all you want but careful what you wish for!

If Barnes is on the sideline the basketball God's will never shine on his ass. Which means as long as he is here we are not foing **** in the NCAA tournament.

Proud of the comeback. Mashack and Key in particular deserve a lot of credit. ZZ had two dumb plays in a row, the 2nd which led to his fouling out. Vescovi…misses again. Deja vu all over again. With Bama coming to town on Wednesday, it may get ugly. We need to recover mentally and have time to do it. Going to have to win some road games down the stretch.

Well they can either let this motivate them to blow out every team they play from here on out so a late three doesn't matter or they can hang their head and go 1-5 to end the season. (I'm counting USCjr as a win)

We just scored 85 points and lost

If you don’t understand the importance of defense now then you just don’t know basketball

Seeing how I played basketball for over a decade.. I would say I understand the game pretty well. If you don’t understand the importance of losing in the tournament with what many would consider more talent or on the same level as the opponents in the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament then you don’t understand what underachieving in March means.
Because Rick Barnes name is right beside Underperforms in March my friend.

We have no one to rely on. Even when we had grant Williams and admiral we choked as usual Tennessee basketball does. We probably won’t see another team like that in my life time. And Barnes is probably as good as we can do for a coach. Like who are we gonna get ?
