Yeah- another outstanding job where he outperforms expectations with a team not super talented and will probably go down in round of 32 of sweet 16 and people will talk about what a choker he is when the team just isn’t all that good.

Wish this fucker didn't go into cruise control during his last few years (something that most coaches do at Texas). When he is into it, he is a fine coach and an awesome recruiter.

Also- I know they won’t be a 1 seed but 2-1 against Kentucky- 1-1 against barn, 1-1 against piggy and a smooth buttfucking of Arizona. I mean, with Baylors injuries I’m not saying that Tenn doesn’t have a worthy resume and I see no justification for Kentucky being in front of Tenn. they should have a 2 seed but I fully expect them to get a 3 seed instead. Fun team to watch. Not super talented. But I like that midget point guard.

i'm in the record that ZZ is my favorite non-Longhorn player in all of CBB. so reminiscent of TJ in the way he just glides around out there, almost skating on the floor, and then bam, he changes direction and just leaves the defender lost. kid is so fun to watch, and such a competitor. Barnes even compared him to TJ, saying his leadership as a freshman reminds him of TJ, and that he hasn't had a freshman leader like this since TJ. crazy to think that he'll possibly be a four year player.

This is the benefit of somehow finding a midget whose not a great shooter but so impactful. Those guys stick around.

This Tennessee team is a bit of a head-scratcher. The Vols don't look that great on paper but, boy, they sure are playing some great basketball--just two losses since mid January.

Congrats to Rick.

Once we started playing our small lineup we got a lot better. I give credit to Barnes in that midway through season we completely changed style and it worked. Funny enough things improved after Texas game.

Boy you lol at that draw and although I feel like they got hosed with a 3 seed it’s open to the elite 8. I thought they got the best 3 seed draw out there. I’m guessing they were 9 on the snake.

I don’t get caught up in seeding even though I think it’s horseshit that we beat Kentucky twice and beat Auburn this season plus beating Arizona. Just win

Yeah, these are points well taken.

well fuck. Tennessee has gone cold, and it's looking pretty dire now.

Yep. Everyone is going to point and laugh at Barnes but Tenn didn’t even play bad. Just missed good wide open shots down the stretch.

Gotta be honest, I find myself rooting against Tennessee and Barnes but not because I dislike him. It's actually because I'm not upset with him because it was just time to past ways for both parties. 

But if he goes and does things in the tournament with Tennessee that he didn't do with all the talent at Texas that would be pretty damn irritating. 

Which is of course the opposite of why I was rooting against Marquette in the first round.

Shit happens. They didn’t look panicked or tight or poorly coached or like they didn’t know what they wanted to do. They just… missed. A lot.
