What in the world is this roundball game you all speak of with derisive lexicon?

Anywho, anyone ever purchased through CarMax before? Good/bad experiences?

Tennessee fans argument: Rick BaRNes DoESnt AdjuST tO tHE tImEs wE NeEd tO sHoOT mORE ThReES

Team shoots 5 more threes than Oregon State at a 19% clip to their 47.6%

I’m sitting here wondering if that’s is a great troll job or just pure stupidity, we had open shots it’s just Pon’s, JJJ, viscovi, and Bailey were major let downs in this game shooting wise and that killed us simple as that.

Bailey's never met a shot he didn't like. He just misses most of the time.

This team had no offensive identity the entire season. Kept thinking one or two of them would take charge, but they didn't. Without a good PG, there really wasn't much chance. If Barnes is to blame for how anything turned out, it is for how he recruited. The guards are all 2's with a JJJ playing the 4.

Need to make changes in his staff as well.

Who has the bigs? Whoever it is, I question their ability to develop.

Barnes is building us in the right direction and he will leave us better than he found it when he’s done. Do I think he will ever win us a championship? Unlikely? An SEC tourney championship? Possibly. But a coach like him is necessary. He has brought us stability and made us respectable plsi we are recruiting at a higher level. He has built our program up and when someone replaces him they have the chance to really build something special.

You recruit as best you can, but you can't make kids say yes. I'd love if Paolo Banchero were coming to UT. Barnes recruited him. He said no. Same for Jabari Smith. It's not as simple as "recruit someone like that" when kids say no thanks.

I know that but you have to get someone. If his plan was for Vescovi to run the point, that's not a great plan. I am not saying he needs to go at all but I hope he learns something. He developed a great roster before and I believe he can do it again.

I was happy to see Bailey shooting when everyone else was passing. He can occasionally get hot. But we just missed good looks in the first half. Kennedy Chandler will help the PG issues, and I hope we can get BHH and a transfer 4/5 as well.

bought 2 cars from Car Max. Pretty straight forward...you know what you are going to pay. You can check the car photos and history out before hand on line.

An unknown bird with a higher ceiling is better than a known bird with a meh ceiling. 1987 its been long enough to know what Barnes is. Do you want tournament championships? or average? I know what I want

If you make a change, you have to be sure you get an upgrade. There's no way we can be sure of that.

I like making the Dance. Do you like making the Dance? Plenty of coaches don't, and a lot of them have worked for UT.

Sometimes I think you guys secretly want to suck.

I wish he would leave for somebody else so I don't have to hear this stupid "Barnes sucks" "Barnes is trash" dumbass **** anymore...this fanbase sucks. We don't deserve a decent BB coach.

Sure we do. The ones bishing and moaning don’t. Even if we had the Kobe beef of coaches, we should have had the shrimp.

As UNC is sitting at home

Never purchased from Carmax. Prices are set and high. That said, I think it’s a great place to test drive. Let’s say you want a mid size luxury SUV. You can basically drive everything in that class from their lot at one time. Let’s you narrow down what you really want if your mind is not made up and saves lots of time and hassle going to the various dealerships to do the same...

Inability to land a big time post player and develop current ones killed the season. He has the shortest leash for guys like Uros and Olivier. Olivier could be so much better right now if allowed to play through consistently last year and early this yr instead of riding the bench every few games then playing 5 minutes a game then back on bench for 2. Barnes needs to hire someone that is a post specialist
