This one is on Barnes

[EtowahVol]

Phillips had the shot but didn't take it to run the clock. Good job Team. good hustle and got mauled the whole second half.

Na it's on vescovi and Phillips. Dunk the ****ing ball or hit a ****ing free throw.

How is that on Barnes??? Barnes jumped all over Phillips for not taking the shot.

Because Barnes is the Boogeyman for all afflicted vol fans

Phillips. Dunk. You win.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Only thing I know is maybe Phillips didn't know the foul situation and thought he would shoot FTs. No other reason to not dunk it.

 

[LivinginthePast]

Just get used to it guys. I hate it. But it’s typical Tennessee basketball. Now they are criticizing us bad about that.

How do you not know it, though? That had to be discussed in the huddle of multiple time outs and how dire the foul situation was for Vandy. No way he didn't know.

Make damn ft

Barnes drew up a play that got his player a free dunk and he doesn't shoot. Barnes calls timeout to save his team from 5 second violation. We get the ball to our best free throw shooter in our last possession. Don't see how this is on Barnes..

Then maybe there might be something to this Barnes "neutering" talk.....

At the end of the day, they are all on Barnes. I feel like a broken record, but this is not at all surprising. We will go out and win another stretch of games comfortably and look like world beaters again, and then hit another rut in March. Its all peaks and valleys. No consistency.

Stack going small with 4 out and 1 inside created more open looks than any game all year against us... While Barnes went Big all night.... And of course Phillips decision cost us late... Phillips cost us late in closing it out but Barnes was outcoached

 

[Chris4Vols22]

This loss is due to a lack of cohesion and poor execution - that's on Barnes and the players. Same case for the Colorado, UF, and UK losses.

Yeah. You don’t throw a break away pass to the goal in hopes of running two seconds off the clock and trap yourself under the basket. It’s a scoring play.

You don’t have to know anything about the foul situation to dunk that ball. A dunk >>>>>>>>>>>> shooting free throws.

Stupid ass post

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

This team is done. They look tired out there.

So he's clueless in another aspect. Got it.

How??? Barnes wanted him to dunk it and admonished him for not doing so. It was just a dumb freshman mistake. No one is neutered. Good lord.

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

Lost to a team bama beat by 50

 

[rdk4121]

This is squarely and exclusively on Phillips. Full stop. No need for free throws if you dunk the ball there.

 

[cncchris33]

Yeah. You don’t throw a break away pass to the goal in hopes of running two seconds off the clock and trap yourself under the basket. It’s a scoring play.

Exactly

 

[kiddiedoc]

One simple dunk (and possibly +1) and it's over. Just a dumb freshman mistake. JP needs another year to get his head in the game.
