Play your five star center Barnes and not Plasvic so much. Don’t understand his decisions sometimes and he really puckers up and overthinks every tournament. He is what he is. Good coach who can’t handle tournament time.

I’m not sure about that…Plavsic had a really good game. We had open shots…many of them.

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

Yup, and to make things even worse, I tested negative for Covid so the US will let me back in and I have to go back to work.

I even asked the test tech how much for a positive test…she just laughed. I couldn’t even bribe my way into staying down here in Belize. 😂

I don't understand why people don't understand this. It's always been this way. The only thing different is that we've actually gotten to attend on a more regular basis for the past 15 or so years. Luck and seeding are absolutely crucial to winning the tourney. Everyone involved in basketball knows this but no one tinkers with it because it's so much fun.

Put it another way, who here is willing to mess with a billion dollar formula to make the tournament more equitable for some team you don't care about?

I agree, but I’d add that I don’t want an “equitable” tournament. We’d wind up with the same teams every year, just like we did in football when they made it more equitable. I love the chaos!

I'm not an expert on basketball-- but it seems like there was a lot of focus on guarding him. Could be why he wasn't playing as well.

That’s the way Texas played us. Was hoping the supporting class could pick up the slack.

Barnes isn't getting fired from UT. He could never win anything in the postseason again and he'd still retire on his terms.

Man, I support Barnes and I think he's a very good coach but at some point he needs to get one of these hyped teams out of the first weekend.

Frustrating to see us upset in the early rounds year after year. Don't even know what to say about it at this point.

He was a foul away from an Elite Eight.

I am thankful Fulk gave his all for Tennessee. But it is time to move on from marginal players getting that many minutes in the rotation. There was no way he should have been man defending Dickinson. That's on Barnes and staff. Hatfield and Aidoo did not play near enough minutes. They were needed for multiple reasons including D, shot blocking, rebounding and occasional outlets for baskets.

Williams killed them on the back side in the second half and nobody even challenged Brooks on the mid-range jumpers. Pull Vescovi and insert Hafield. didn't happen.

2-18 from three. smh. What an inopportune time for Vescovi to crap the bed on both ends of the floor and Barnes to not change up his subbing to counter UM.

If they all come back, better days ahead as they will not need CRB to be a better coach in the tournament with the talent. He is who he is apparently. This was his chance to remove the tourney failure yoke from his neck and he didn't. .

I didn't say it, but over the years there haven't been alot of teams that won a grueling conference championship tournament and then turned around and won the Dance. The stats may not bear that out, but it's always seemed that way to me. I enjoyed seeing us win the SEC but that was kind of lurking back there in my mind.

Duke did it twice. KY and UNC once.

Anyone calling for Barnes job are no different than the dumbass UK fans wanting to fire Calipari. Hall of fame coaches don’t grow on trees. The tournament is too much about luck and matchups. We always seem to catch the Cinderella team just like our rotating west opponent in football will always have a once in a decade type team.
