If we lose this game I'm off the Barnes bandwagon.
You can call it a knee jerk reaction or whatever but if we lose to this team I've lost all confidence in Barnes. They are not good at all.
With all the upsets we've seen just in the opening week of the season by established programs falling to grossly inferior opponents, a loss by this Tennessee team in Barnes' 3rd game to a grossly inferior opponent would have that sort of impact for you???
You're smarter than that CA. Don't let the frustration boil over. Barnes may turn out to be Buzz Peterson Pt. II over the long haul, but I wouldn't let one game this early decide that for you.
I'm not speaking out of frustration. I happen to know a lot about the Marshall coaching staff due to someone that I work with. Their head coach is not good and they are not a good, fundamental team in any way. We have no reason to lose to them at all.
Tomorrow night I would like to see us try to work in Phillips at the point, we need that extra player IMO.
Would like to see minutes distributed close to this:
Punter 30
Moore 30
Hubbs 28
Reese 25
McGhee 25
Mostella 22
Baulkman 15
Phillips 10
Alexander 10
Kasongo 5
Mostella is trying, and that means something IMO. He led us with 6 rebounds in the first half, that alone is evidence he is committed to giving the effort, if it somehow can click for he can be a high level contributor. I like what McGhee and Reese are both giving us, they both gotta clean it up defensively, but the rebounding and high fg% are a plus.

Schofield has been working the brds some. Could add 10 to 15 backing up 3,4 and 5.
Need all the legs we got.
Provides a lot more effort than Kasongo. This guy's a complete disappointment to me. Was really looking forward to watching him and he just doesn't seem to have any interest in being on the floor.I think 11 may be exceeding what we need, especially if he's not giving you anymore than a guy he's replacing, but jmo. Now if his shot comes along and he shows he's a threat from 3, that would change my mind.

One or the other, I don't much care which, I like Kasongo's size better but if he isn't gonna give effort I agree. Maybe I missed the fuss, but as soon as he entered he had an offensive rebound and missed follow up, I wasn't as down as many.
