In before “Barnes makes $5 million” and “Barnes needs to call a time out”.
Also got a $400,000 bonus for finishing in the AP Top 5 final poll. Plus, his $400,000 bonus for reaching the 2nd round of the NCAA tourney. Topped out at over $5.8 million this past season.

And he got dinged by the NCAA for sharing $$$ with his assistants. Contrast that with Bruce taking his undeserved million dollar parting gift while doing zilch for his staff.

I’m showing SEC+ /ESPN+ when I go to the ESPN streaming site. It asks for my Espn+ log-in or to pay. So is it not just streaming on SECN+? For example the LSU women’s game at 8 tonight shows only SECN+ and it only says event has not started, nothing requiring payment. Why even advertise SECN + if you have to have ESPN + to view it?

TN website says SECN+, I wouldnt worry about it until the game tips. It could just be a glitch on the ESPN website.

If the SEC+ stream doesn't work or isn't free. Can anyone name some other free streaming sites this game may be on?

I think Key is more likely in this scenario. ZZ is our point, by seasons end I kinda think he will be pretty close to 35 minutes a game.

I like ZZ---but my concern about him is his size. He's small, obviously, and in the NCAA Tourney--a long way off, to be sure--the games and the opponents get bigger and more physical. That's why I think Barnes is interested in Key playing the point--because he's got a sturdy build, and stronger PGs may fare better in physical games than guys with slight builds. ZZ is great--super quick--but a physical PG is a good thing.

I thought the same thing last year, but ZZ changed my mind. His defense never seemed to be a liability. Maybe he has freakish long arms for his height.

The competition gets better in the NCAAT, but it is more of a factor after reaching the Sweet 16 or E8. The competition in the SEC is as good as anything TN would face in the first two rounds.

I have to watch from home instead of in the TBA. I hate the SEC+ of ESPN+. Most of the time it doesn’t let me join for half the game or more. And I’m on fiber.
