Barnes does the exact opposite of what you are making up. He’s been criticizing them for passing up good looks.

That’s what he tells the press. He’s way too hard on these guys and you could see the frustration, especially by Springer and Keon at the end of the Vandy game after the failed alley oop.

Probably because Pearl is the reason why we got into this mess in the first place.

Had he not go full blown stupid over something so small, he’d probably still be here.

Barnes for the most part is trying to build our program the right way and he’s getting crucified for it.

I don't agree with that. Pearl did cause a mess, but Cuonzo got us back to the Tourney. I guess a different mess was started when Cuonzo abruptly left.

Really, it's only a couple of posters that are constantly attacking RB. I think 90% of the fanbase is mostly satisfied with RB.

"finally comes out" - natl radio vs local.
Heard that earlier today - still doesn't change that he runs his players in the ground and has done so for years.

It’s starting to catch up as it’s becoming a topic on all the shows.

Barnes is the problem. He has taken the fun out of it for these guys and you can tell by the way they are playing. Early in the season they were running up and down the court and having fun. Barnes constantly jumps their azz and jerks them out of games if they make a mistake. Instead Of playing loose and having fun they play scared. That’s why , except for Bailey, they are scared to shoot and pass up open shots all the time. It’s getting old.

Lol, that’s not why he’s getting “crucified” honey....unless “build our program the right way” means baffling lineups, no offensive game plans, striking out on front court prospects, and flaming out late in the season ...

Lol, Pearl made the tourney all 6 years he was at UT Including our only Elite 8. Barnes has been twice and underperformed both times.. Pearl is 8-4 head to head against Barnes . Facts don’t lie

Fact: Auburn won’t make SEC or NCAA tourney this year. UT will.

Yes and they hired Pearl... Look I hope Pearl gets his act together and for the next few years it is us and Auburn in the final of the SEC tourney every year.But I don’t wish we had him over Barnes. He’s proven to be a liability. FACT.

maybe... auburn chose to take that chance and got a FF run out of it... we didn’t... I’d say most Auburn fans would say it was worth it. NCAA is a joke nowadays anyways

When it come to cheating and the NCAA reward is greater than the risk. That's just another reason why it is so wide spread.

These takes are amazing for a team that is 16-6, vying for Top 3 in conference and a projected 4/5 NCAAT seed...there is a middle ground between being a really good team and “checking out” on the season.

Projection 101...CRB is a bad coach with no other possible explanation and they have to substantiate this thought with whatever opinions they can form to support their mantra - even when those opinions are ludicrous (i.e., players have checked out). The stats show we take good shots...one would think that is a sign of good coaching. The stats show Fulkerson is scoring nowhere near his proven All SEC capabilities (especially 6 out of our 8 last games)...it would seem to me that the most plausible explanation is his health and not the coaching he is getting this season. Springer stated publicly CRB has asked him and Keon to play up tempo all season but, nope, must be these high character kids lying to cover for CRB's poor coaching...and on, and on, and on....lol.
