So sad

This is likely the Most talented basketball team we have Ever had...and it appears that we are again destined to a first or second round exit from NCAA tournament.

Please tell me the lottery numbers and how Thanksgiving dinner is going to turn out at my in-laws tomorrow, oh Nostradamus.

It is only November and this team is still learning each other! So many Debbie Downers coming out of the shadows!! This team is very likely to excel during and after the season!

Everyone mark this down and come ready to apologize to me in March.

I’m just as upset and ticked about these losses as most anyone, but be real - #1 and #2 in the country in November, with a team still figuring out how to work with one another. We didn’t get blown out, there were a lot of positives, and there’s a lot to build on.

Come February, if we are having the same issues, then I think this discussion can be had on the totality of the entire body of work. We can also discuss the entire Barnes tenure. But it’s way too early for the doom and gloom. Yes, we have issues, some easier to figure out than others, some familiar and some not. But predicting how things are going to go for the season in an extremely early stage like this is incredibly misguided.

Really going out on a limb there with your prediction that TN might get bounced before the Sweet 16. Wow! Such a brave prediction.

And I suppose you are going to apologize to the entire Volnation group when they make it out of the first two rounds? You have been on here long enough to remember all those years of never even making the field. Instead of the negative I really wish you could see all the positives and where this team just might be able to reach out and take what a Vol team has never achieved before. Hang in there with them for a while longer and enjoy the ride!

Unfortunately, yeah. You can't just disappear for 3-5 minutes at a time in the 2nd half and beat good teams. Same ole Tennessee basketball.

 

[knoxvol52]

Poster is a big time gambler making a safe prediction like this.....

If you're so confident predict they won't make tourney at all.....

I mean, there’s a better chance of an early exit than a deep run based on history and the last two days have been carbon copies of TNs recent tournament losses. On the other hand, it is very early and this team shows a promising upside.

 

[deezvols]

These games were nothing more than measuring sticks of where we are today, and not an indication of where we’ll be in March.

Tell me you’re trolling. This is a premature statement .

SURELY…this thread takes the daily award! SURELY IT DOES! Holy cow!

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Most talented? Debatable. Deepest? Depends on health. Idk how only a minority on here seem to get we just took #1 and #2 down to the wire as a negative. 4-2/4-3 is respectable when you consider the competition.

Piss off.

 

[fear]

if that's the case i guess next year is our year

 

[Tnphil]

Right now our shooting mirrors the last few seasons. We have spurts then disappear too much.

Just going on Rick Barnes tournament history yes we are but we going to have a great regular season. He’s a great regular season coach.
