On to the next game......GO VOLS!

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

37 free throws to 10 lol

Yup...but all these chodes calling out the team...wont bring that out...hurts their narrative.

 

[RAVOL]

Well finally showed some toughness and energy the last 4mns . This team needs to have that urgency more especially to overcome defiencies of no PG and post scoring. Need this week to work strictly on half court O but also steal a day off to rest . Have a wonderful weekend everyone. In CHRIST Alone

SEC refs are the worst in the nation. We deserved to lose this game though because we played without basketball IQ

Refs were worse in the Ole Miss game IMO. This game they were bad but average for our SEC games

 

[Unimane]

That makes nine straight losses to Auburn and LSU.

Nine.

I'm not for firing Barnes, but I won't be broken up when he leaves.

Hurts what narrative? It proves a point. Our offense takes way too many stupid shots and doesnt attack the rim. It also shows this team doesnt play physical. Go ahead and tell me im wrong, because im not.

 

[Hallie]

Ever since he turned team over to the frosh who will be gone next year...team has went to crap .. and now all the upper classmen confidence is shot .. good luck next year .

(It doesn’t show the SEC refs are bad in and of itself but it is also true)

Gonna repeat this though for the people that blame me for calling out the refs, we def deserved to lose this game regardless. Tons of terrible TOs that were unrelated to being pushed, etc

Yeah, I think it was a mistake. It’s like he kind of turned it over to them but hasn’t been able to fully implement the spacing, etc. required to actually help it.

Basically what Bruin was saying in the growing pains thread except I don’t think we’re gonna be able to get out of it before maybe the NCAAT if we’re lucky

 

[Matt2496]

I see us losing to Florida as well

 

[Teeboy]

I have to say...I'm learning a lot on here during games......I feel better knowing that our fans are, apparently, more full of energy and heart than this team...impressive to read. And...these games actually mean more to them than the team and Rick Barnes. impressive......and if you say anything positive about the team...you're a clown! LOL! GO VOLS!!!!

Until we replace him w Johnny Dawkins

I don't usually listen to post game, but damn does Rick always come down on the guys this hard. He's got disappointed Dad speech energy.

I wish he could take a look in the mirror and realize his offensive system sucks.

 

[sportsnut624]

This team looks like it needs a couple days away from basketball. If I was Barnes, and he won’t do it, I would give them a couple days off with no basketball activities this week or the week after florida game

 

[sechamp2012]

37 free throws to 10 lol

Yep 27 more free throws than UT BP yelled screamed at players refs all game and got the calls. He worked the refs and sidelines, got a warning for outside coach box but kept doing it..You could hear him on TV all game. Ironically our bench gets a T. Not a great in game coach but a motivator and knows how to work the system now after faltering twice with NCAA .Let Chuck Person and 11 others go down in FBI bribery probe 2018. Now taking self imposed in a 50% win season he knows how to play it now, he's laughing at NCAA now.

It's definitely not working against Pearl.

Yeah SEC refs are garbage. But TN didnt lose because of the refs. TN hasnt lost a game this season because of the refs.

He's done it every game, and it's clearly not doing any good. Maybe he needs to admit he's sucking this year.

Not sure that his players even know what that system is.

I agree to a degree

 

[zjcvols]

I mean that’s fair, most of the time it doesn’t look like we run anything

 

[Catbone]

Great post.

 

[zjcvols]

Rick going scorched earth on the veterans. No accountability of his bad offense.
