If I’m Barnes, I tell the guys to play normally and go for 40 fouls. Have every player on the team foul outI'm honestly of the opinion that the officiating has been so bad, you can't really draw any further conclusions. Two of your starters (maybe the most important two) go out in the first 3 minutes of the first half with two fouls, both finish the half with zero points. Your only real threat in the paint gets #s 3 and 4 early in the second half, and even Dickie V agrees how terrible the second call is.
If I'm Barnes, I go ape on the next crap call, take the L, and move on.
Tennessee hasn’t played consistent offense in two months. You’re breakdown is for a team that can go without 5 minute scoring droughts.When officials set the tone early in game it takes aggressiveness out of a player. TN D feeds offense and players playing passive on D due to call effects your game. Now Pons and Faulk can't give in to this but need to lead this team. Same for Vescovi. In CHRIST Alone
