Well I said "most" because everyone will have a bad game from time to time but these guys can have good games against good teams like Vescovi did today.

You said "This is my list of players you can expect to show up most of the time. " and that is unacceptable.

JJJ looks like a liability offensively much of the time. His defense keeps him on the court. I want to see if all the big schools offered or if there are a few puzzling non offers at the time and now we see why.

It came down to UT and Duke ànd yes, JJJ had a committable offer from Duke/everybody

When he’s healthy JJJ has done quite well at UT. He’s recovering from off season wrist surgery. Hopefully he continues to get stronger and finds his shooting grove.

The SECT is in March. 2 back-to-back finals after only making 3 in the previous 39 years.

How about let’s win one? Complete failure 3 years ago with Grant and Schofield losing to Pearl in Finals. Barnes also has the most 1st round NCAAT losses (12) of any coach

Just shows your limited knowledge of the game. In basketball sometimes the open shots simply don’t fall. If in the next game those shots start falling did CRB remember how to coach again?

Actually it shows your lack of knowledge. Ever heard of coaches changing strategy and start going inside when your shooters Miss their first 8 shots from 3 pt line

Thousands of coaches and hundreds of programs have never been to 12 NCAATs.

Sure… we should just win an SECT. Because that hasn’t happened one time in over 40 years.

We have a coach that is the 5th highest paid coach in the country. Dont you think we should expect to win an SECT and maybe get past the first round of the NCAAT?

Barnes is one of only a handful of coaches that have ever taken their 2nd team to number one and about half of those had stops at KY. Most of them are convicted cheaters. Cal, Pitino, and Eddie Sutton. Roy. Frank McGuire (3x). The Deacon.

How many times are you going to point out $5 million? Do you have any clue that the market decides that amount? TN would be an SEC bottom feeder right now had TN not stepped up to counter UCLA’s offer. It is idiotic to keep pointing out the $5 million. It is a simple minded narrative.

You do realize college basketball is a tournament sport and what really matters is getting your team to the Final 4 with a chance to win a championship. How many times has Barnes done this in his career? ( obviously he hasn’t done it at Tennessee and I don’t think he ever will)

You do realize that the NCAAT is a single elimination tournament and coaches don’t get to pick the matchups? Maybe you don’t.

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? Seriously, tell this to the coaches that are successful in the NCAAT, like Calipari. How many 1st round exits does he have

How many 5 stars are on Cal’s rosters? Dumb comparison by you.

The same Calipari who won 9 games and completely missed the NCAAT, last year? It's probably important to point out that he makes north of $8 million/year for that result, too, since it's so important to you.
