  1. it’s really hard to get to the FF this way, but you’re going to win a ton of games and be consistently good-great more often than 95% of other programs. i wish more fans of his teams would appreciate that. tennessee fans incessantly bitch about barnes, but if he left that program at the end of the year i have a very strong feeling that lots of faces would soon be eaten by leopards all over knoxville shortly thereafter.
  2. the toughest part for a typical barnes team in the tourney is that they can’t play from behind without a TJ Ford, Dalton Knecht, J’Covan Brown, etc. this team of his has nobody like that, as is the case with most of his teams. but that’s the sacrifice you make when your entire philosophy revolves around trying to be the best defensive team in the country. it’s also why he likes to slow it down like that, which is solid in theory. you lessen the number of possessions and keep playing the defense you’ve been playing all night and in theory you wrap up the win. i understand why he does it, same as i understand fans’ frustrations when it doesn’t work.
  3. you don’t have to come to the Fire Rodney Terry thread if you don’t want to.

  5. ok thank god i didn’t know that tennessee was going to be so shorthanded lol. the more i watch this team, the less i’m able to predict what they’re going to do next. this is shocking lol. tennessee up 55-35 with 5:54 to go. that defense is smothering.
  6. yeah zeigler is out with his knee injury and milicic woke up sick today. and yet tennessee, who’s lost 3 of 4 and lost 73-43 to florida like two weeks ago, is up by 10 with 13:20 to go. i’m not feeling so sick anymore lol.
  7. Jedi keeps on ascending.
  8. nope, no shame. but it was as clear a sign as any that he had reached his level.
  9. no zeigler or milicic today for tennessee. i’m sick that i didn’t put more money on UF ML.

  11. yeah, can’t say i’ve ever done that before. brutal.
  12. kenpom has us winning 72-71
  13. jokic is everything. i will never get tired of watching him dominate like this.
  14. he’s actually been pretty damn good defensively the last two years, but this year his offensive load and lack of help isn’t going to lead to him being a great defender.

  16. btw, the end of rick barnes’ tenure here was not nearly as bad on paper as it was experiencing it in real time. i am by no means saying we should have retained him- his time here was done. i’m just saying that the story on paper isn’t nearly as bad as it was when actually experiencing those seasons in real time. for example: that’s probably not as bad as you remembered post-2006. then you take his final season here as another example of it being a lot worse in real time than how it looks on paper: we went 20-14 (just not acceptable to lose 14 games with that team, and some of the losses were bad) but we didn’t actually lose to any bad teams. here’s our 14 losses by final kenpom ranking; 39 stanford in OT 38 osu in OT at 38 osu at 25 west virginia 20 butler in the ncaa tourney 16 isu away 16 isu home 16 isu big xii tourney at 14 baylor 12 kansas home 12 kansas away 11 ou home 11 ou away 1 kentucky talk about a brutal schedule. yeesh.
  17. tennessee has lost 3/4 and i spent all of last weekend arguing with their dumbass fans who once again think they deserve better. but game against florida in knoxville tomorrow. his seat won’t actually be hot if they lose, but those fans are basically only happy whenever they’re mad at rick barnes, and they will have a field day the vols lose that one.
  18. and to the record, blind comparisons aside, i 100% believe that a healthy david ash performs just as well if not better than Quinn did on these last two Texas teams. no question in my mind we would have had a much more open playbook and downfield passing game. otoh, you have QE playing for Mack and GD, throwing to jaxson shipley and mike davis (the only two wr with more than 26 catches on that team) and QE struggles his ass off. all things considered i’m more impressed by david ash’s sophomore year than i am by Quinn’s RS junior year.
  19. QB A: 12 G, 214/318 (67.3%), 2,699 yds, 19 TD, 8 INT, 8.5 y/a, 224.9 ypg, 153.3 QB rtg QB B: 14 G, 293/445 (69.0%), 3,472 yds, 31 TD, 12 INT, 7.8 y/a, 248 ypg, 149.0 QB rtg
  20. no sport on the planet sees wins and losses more affected by the HC than college basketball. the supply and demand is all out of whack. there is a HUGE pool of talented players, well rounded players, skilled players, athletic players, and sometimes players who are all of the above. the supply exceeds the demand by a mile. that’s why good coaches in CBB win everywhere they go, from the beginning of their career to the very end, with very few exceptions. they have their core tenets and philosophies, they recruit to said philosophies from the enormous pool of talent, then they win, and proceed to continue climbing the ladder. if RT was capable of winning at this level then he would have proven that years and years ago when he was given a decade to prove himself as a HC at two different D-1 schools. after doing nothing of note as a HC for a decade RT went backwards and took a position as an assistant for a guy half his age whose six year head coaching career was already light years better than the entirety of RT’s career. people here didn’t β€œdecide” he wasn’t good enough from the jump, we all knew he wasn’t good enough, it was simple fact. still is.
  21. you could make him eat a shot sandwich. that would be funny.
  22. now we need a commercial where those two play sister wives.
  23. https://x.com/bussinwtb/status/1885353822777676134?s=46 a)we need more commercials like this b)that blonde lady gets around, she’s banging half the dudes on tv
