Actually the tournament is everything in college basketball and where you finish in it should matter. A great year is to be at least one of the final 4 teams. Do you think NC State supporters think they had a bad year because the regular season record was not that good ? No they think they had a...
Is Barnes in play for the KY job and if you say no then are you saying Barnes isn't good enough to be a head coach at KY ? Barnes flirted with UCLA why not KY.
I saw it from a different angle to. Knecht was rising up until Edey made contact with him and then he stopped rising and went a little sideways. Body first then the ball. Size should not be the determining factor that people say this is a good block. There are still body fouls no matter the size.
The only issue I saw with Barnes defense against Edey is they let him put the ball on the floor and nobody stole it from him. That should never happen. Backside defender should have broke immediately to steal the ball once the first dribble hit the floor.
Hate truth much do you ? I will openly acknowledge he is king "Regular Season Rick". The teams that Rick Barnes has put together over the years have success sending players to the pros but he cannot utilize that talent to make a final four. Why is saying Barnes is part of the reason for that...
Barnes defenders will NEVER blame it on the one constant in all of Barne's losses in the NCAA tournament. The one constant is Barnes. I'm sorry but thru the hundreds of players in his coaching tenure from Durant to now DK you can't believe that Barnes is not the center for his lack of success...
But where are the NCAA championships or even final four appearances ? Before you answer Bama is in the final 4 and Barnes is not. Does that make the Bama coach hall of fame too ?
He is not hard to officiate. The rules are supposed to be applied equally and not based upon size. 3-seconds, walks and reach overs are never called on him.
You sir are correct. Barnes has a terrible post season record vs regular season. He needs to win it all again.. If you win one and lose the second playing all the starters then I think you are on a bad trend going into the NCAA.
The players on this team do not know or understand how to play with a player like Knecht. Instead of feeding of the attention he draws they shrivel up and hide. Their inactivity and lack of willingness to participate in the offense is going to allow double teams on Knecht.
