Me too. But we needed to self-immolate our football program to fire a coach that won 3 games in our marquee sport. If Rick is making the tourney here, he’s not in any danger.

And he shouldn’t be in any danger. Tennessee is not historically any good in basketball. He should have this job as long as he wants it if he’s making NCAAs as far as I am concerned. But I’m still super frustrated and get the frustration.

Totally. This whole season has been a misfire.

I think we all kind of knew this is what we were going to see today. I can't remember the last time we were so bad on offensive side of the ball as a whole. I mean just absolutely no go to guy. Not one consistent shooter. Something just isn't right cause we had O with Grant and that team.

Vols are playing good defense, but this team can't miss on three (the way it goes with the VOLS). Now, we probably lost JJJ too-- along with Fulky. I'm not saying we will lose, but it's not a happy time right now.

Maybe Barnes will finally stop recruiting the "tough, competitive, great defender" types and start going more for the "can light it up from anywhere on the floor, get to the hoop anytime he wants" types. Defense can be taught. Pure offense is innate.

What we need to recruit is guards that are good at defense and threes. Klay Thompson type players. Kinda similar to Schofield

1-2 of those each class so teams at least have to respect our three point ability

Barnes inability to recruit a post with a pulse while running an offense that can barely break 50 is amazing. He’s made us a relevant program but won’t ever do much as win us an SEC TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONSHIP and tournaments are what really matter. Kentucky won’t always be this bad and we had by far the best recruiting class outside of UK. This was a golden year for him to win it and what do you know he comes up small. This university is cursed. Nothing good ever happens to us.

If Fulk, Springer, Pons, and Johnson leave theres almost NO offense production coming back and we lose the best shot blocker in nation

Yup. Better hope we land BHH and he reclassifies. Even then we will have 2 young freshman and the least aggressive five star in JJJ I’ve ever seen.
