It's incredible, not even a lucky bank. I knew the lid was locked when Josh threw one down point blank unblocked and it came back out! LOL!

It makes you wonder if it's lack of talent, or not being able to handle the pressure of a big game ? It's odd that they play tough defense, they hustle good for turnovers, but lack the ability to hit outside shots. If I was a player, I'd be in the gym on my own time trying to get my shot. Same for the big guys missing foul shots--stay after practice and work on your game.

I think it’s a lack of offensive talent. We just don’t have good, consistent scorers on this team… whether it be from the outside, inside or driving into the paint.

I support CRB and am in no way in the “Fire Barnes” crowd. But I would make one criticism…he needs to recruit a sharpshooter for each one of his teams. This is especially important given the importance of the three-point shot.

if we hit our fts we win get in the gym and shoot 100 free throws a day after practice when they are tired and if they dont make what they r told to make then run them and havem do it again.

And those assistant coaches show no heart or enthusiasm. It looks like they're scouts from other teams just giving input on what they're seeing

I’ve been saying this all year, we are an average college basketball team. Average at best! We just do not have any shooters on this team. Barnes doesn’t recruit guys that can shoot the basketball. That’s the reason his teams always play their best games in November and December. Once teams get some tape on us, they scheme us and out smart our coaching staff. We don’t make it past the second round of either tournaments. I hope I’m wrong but probably not. We could shoot lights out the first game of each tournament and score 80 and then the next game be lucky to score 50. Just too inconsistent to move past second round.

In 20 minutes of first half Tennessee made one jump shot made in the entire half !!! 4 field goals in first 14 minutes !!!

They are embarrassingly bad at shooting for most of the season and unfortunately most of our guards have pedestrian shooting percentages for the year

We did not drive the ball to the rack in the first half.

If I am Barnes, I say to this team to drive the ball all game long and just take a three as a last resort.

That would entail him calling a timeout and actually telling his team what to do. He doesn’t make adjustments on the fly…..he has to get to halftime.
