Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

SEC tourney champs. Can’t take that away from us. Just didn’t make the shots down the stretch. Our scoring drought came at the wrong time.

And, at least we didn’t lose to St. Peters.

 

[Volnukem]

Their Center made more threes than our whole team. Never gonna win that way.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

One loss in games we were favored in/leading at halftime and it was the most important one of the season.

Round of 32 Rick!

If I remember correctly from football season, you will be posting like a spoiled child about 10 times an hour for the next day or so.

 

[engineerVOL]

We were just cold, they played better. What are you gonna do. No magic fairy dust. Piss.

 

[UTProf]

I guess we were seeded incorrectly.

Nope.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Oh well, at least we didn’t lose in the first round to Pete’s Peacocks.

When’s spring practice start?

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

No need to fire Barnes

We just cannot let ourselves get excited for the tournament ever again

19 of his 26 trips to the tournament have ended in the first two rounds

It's truly insane how his teams fall apart

I believed in us fully. There was nothing about the way we have been performing that would suggest we would lose like this.

 

[VolGee4]

It most definitely was. Plasovic was a liability rebounding and on the defensive side of the ball.

We got torched by a guy who can barely move. The two freshman bigs provide more defense and rebounding than plasovic. He can’t seem to hold on to the ball.

Terrible shooting as well and that is on the players.

I quit watching with 10 minutes left. But I saw missed open shots.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Here comes the Barnes haters…so sad. I don’t think coaching was the problem today.

Lol. Classic. So in your opinion he coached a good game?

 

[volKano]

We got an 11 seed in the second round. That was a gift. We just squandered the opportunity.

I think we played a top 10 team that found a way to squander the regular season but are putting it together now.

 

[UTProf]

We were just cold, they played better. What are you gonna do. No magic fairy dust. Piss.

That's why single elimination is a horrible way to choose a champion in a game like basketball. With that being said, it makes for some of the best sport's entertainment on the planet because little guys can and do upset teams that they shouldn't.

 

[KptVFL]

Well that f@#$>@# sucked!

 

[NighthawkVol]

Scratch that. Tennessee will make the CWS, CFP, and Women’s Final 4 in the sane season. Hell will freeze over before the men make the Final 4.

 

[VolGee4]

So we’re a bunch of our wins due to the refs?

I quit watching midway through the season, even the wins. I don’t care what you want to say, but college officiating is awful.

 

[VolInDayton]

Can't wait to watch every other betterr seed get the advantage in foul calls this weekend.

 

[OrangenSC]

Terribly disappointing because of the way we've played in past month or so. But putting it in perspective, before the season started not many people expected from us.

The game came down to two things: we couldn't hit our 3s and the refs protected Dickinson on both ends of the court. I thought the game was officiated well otherwise.

 

[VOLSONLY]

Well, I will take responsibility for this loss.

I have never done a bracket before and I did.

I tried to follow the game and that jinxed the team.

Probably should not have taken such pleasure in all the upsets…

Dang it it’s no longer March Madness. Now it’s just March and I am mad.

I told you to stay where you was, can’t even remember now where it was

 

[NighthawkVol]

May not be a Sweet 16 team either if we don't pull it together here.

Amazing how much better great shooting makes a team look. And how bad poor shooting makes a team look.

 

[Atzar]

This is what the tournament looks like in the three-point era. One cold night and the season is over.

It bit Baylor today too.

 

[Southern_Accent]

I'm glad we got heupel and hooker let's start football

 

[JCP201]

Round of 32 Rick!

Yeah, because it's Rick Barnes fault that this incredible team who won the SEC championship and played their hearts out lost a game.

 

[Batman1948]

Only 2 3-pointers made. Can’t win that way.

When you live by the three ball, you die by the three ball. It's been said that Barnes changed his game philosophy this year because he had confidence in his guard heavy lineup. That worked well for us until it didn't. On a lighter side, we appear to have a 5 star QB in the works

 

[Volnut]

The only good thing about today is I won't have to burn vacation days to watch games anymore.

 

[InVOLuntary]

When TN is losing its the refs fault. But when we are winning it’s just TN playing better right?

Dude, we never got in the bonus the second half. We had twice as many fouls despite the fact they were the more physical team. This stuff is way predetermined.
