2 things that we have to remember,
1, Barnes is a good man, good ambassador and respected in the world of college athletics.
2, this program is in a really good, stable place now. We shouldn’t have trouble finding the next coach, when Barnes walks away.
I’m trying real hard to be optimistic, because I DO like Barnes and appreciate what he’s done for this program, but this team is making that hard to do.
GBO!!

I love Barnes, I also have the ability to separate the fact of do we as a university want to take the next step or wallow in underperformed mediocrity for 4-5 more years. It seems like this crap keeps coming up but now he's being paid the salary to be expected to win yearly not every 3-4 years.

Yeah, but it keeps happening. At some point it's obvious that it's systematic and something needs to be done to fix it. I think out guys play too tight.

I think the January 5th BasketVols are a mediocre team, but I do believe (maybe naively) that unless COVID derails some games, the fact we're about to play 2 games a week is going to help this team a lot. They have no flow or cadence to their game right now. We constantly look like a November basketball team because we keep having week long breaks between each game.

The LOOONG scoring droughts will kill us against better competition, I don’t care how good your defense is.
GBO!!

Between me and you, I have the feeling we’ll be wallowing in mediocrity for a couple more seasons.
GBO!!

Start the second half like the first and it’s gonna be an L. Pathetic offensively, good defense kept us in a game against an average at best team.

Just have to win the second half by three, which really shouldn't be a problem. Ole Miss' depth woes are going to come back and bite them in the second half, just like how a COVID-depleted K-State lead Texas at the half last night but got blown out as the game went on.

maybe its the players lack of execution

Could be a factor. But outside of the Grant/Admiral/Turner/Bone 18-19 season, it’s been a consistent theme no matter the personnel or starred recruits on the court.

I am by no means a Barnes hater, I think he’s done a lot for the program and put us on the radar nationally. Just think his stubbornness and lack of attention to the offense is showing as a weakness.

I’m starting to wonder if Covid has ****ed this team more than we know. We look lethargic and just not all there
