Is Barnes too tough on his players?

I can't find last years Vegas lines

Anybody know how to find them?

My guess is we lost 4games as favorites

Marquette
USCe
Miss state
Vandy


My guess is we won 5 maybe six as underdogs
Vandy twice
USCe
LSU
Miss state
Arkansas

So basically you're backtracking on your "heavy underdog" statement.

And pray tell WTF do you call this year's roster?

This year's team is more seasoned with more options. If you have any concerns about the talent, then you need to address them to crb.

Barnes will have as much trouble recruiting here as Cuonzo and Cuonzo has already proven that he can recruit as good or better at Cal as Barnes did at Texas.

Doubt you really want to get into those numbers when this season is over

Just to make sure facts are used here we were a 1.5pt Favorite vs Nebraska

I'll be more than happy to dive into the wins/loss numbers with you, I'm guessing you'll either have a laundry list of excuses or will take another hiatus though.

We were? Could've sworn game thread had us as an underdog, link?

Tomorrow might be the last game we are favored in all year

All road games we will be dogs and I am not sure we have a home game where we are favored. At most 2-3

Auburn, Arkansas, and ole miss only chances to be favorites

Who should address about the talent on last years roster, because you've already made excuses to why it wasn't Tyndall's fault?

I recall that Tyndall inherited a depleted roster after the no shows and the transfers due to Cuonzo bolting from The Vols. However, I don't blame Martin for leaving with another offer after the disrespect that 36,000 fans showed by signing a petition to have him fired.

Barnes inherited his job here at the end of March which was before the Spring signing period, whereas Tyndall came in later and had few choices in the recruiting pool.

I thought Barnes was suppose to be a superior recruiter. However, he is getting older than the vast majority of Division I coaches.

I disagree with you on DT. I'm not sure why you try to build him up.

However, I agree with you on RB. Everything you've said appears to be true......IMO

Please give it a rest about the petition. CCM signed it himself many times. The only thing that is a bigger joke than the petition itself is all the media and others who try to legitimize it.

Well with Barnes record against ranked teams in the last 5 years I assume he needs to be favored for us to enjoy watching those baby.

We get it; you hate Barnes and you can't wait for him to fail.

Guys like you keeping pissing and moaning about the support and attendance, with guys like you as fans, it's no wonder why.

I don't understand the lack of support for Barnes. We finally get a big name and because the roster isn't where it needs to be. Then of course the coach has to suck. We got robbed. Hart screwed us with this hure. Bla Bla bla. Regardless of coach I will always watch and hope for a win. Bottom line.

Really don't think the players thought it was a joke.
U seem to be the only one pushing that myth.

I signed it and thought it was a joke.... I honestly have a hard time picturing high major basketball players not being able to handle it.... They need to work on that mental toughness.
