Tony V is building something special in baseball. Money just keeps flowing into that sport. He's putting all the pieces together to win a championship sooner rather than later. Softball, OTOH...

I have no issue with Rick Barnes. for the record.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Being disappointed is natural. Insane is acting like Rick Barnes is a horrible coach and needs to be replaced. Two different concepts. You can be disappointed while not bitching about Coach Barnes or our players.

enjoyed the season, team was frustrating at times

 

[Vols4us]

Pull Santi for Hatfield? I’ve read some dumb takes on here but that jumps straight to the top 5.

Then you must have missed the first half when they led the game. Try again for intelligence.

 

[VolGee4]

Go cool off. Youll feel better in the morning.

No, I’m good. You will still be a child tomorrow.

 

[Weezer]

Probably not gonna happen, but I'd love for KC to decide to come back for one more season. I'd love to see this team with him next season.

Only way I think he comes back is if he gets a large NIL deal

ok.... i'll see you tomorrow.

Softball worries me.

Before the basketball team makes Sweet 16, so be very patient folks!

BEFORE, not after or when. We're still in the before stage lol

 

[VOLSONLY]

I never get it…Not like it helps anything, based on history and % you’re far more likely to correctly predict TN not having a deep tournament run.

So after a loss, coming out to basically rub people’s faces in it does what? Are you a fan of the team or not? Barnes is a good coach, not many better ones to hire to replace him. I mean Baylor lost today, Kentucky lost, Iowa lost, in a one game elimination all it takes is a bad night shooting and you’re out.

But I actually felt like we overachieved this year. So I’m only disappointed I don’t get to see these guys play anymore.

Man don’t be bringing that logic in here They can’t receive it. They live for these opportunities were they can troll this board

 

[UTProf]

I don't disagree, but I also believe Michigan was allowed to play more physical than we were. It's not all on the refs. We shot ourselves in the foot plenty. But under the basket, they could mug us with no call where we got called just for sneezing on them.

We actually got away with a few things that shocked me but overall we simply weren't allowed to be as physical. I think there was one ref calling touch fouls every time we were in the general vicinity (even when we didn't actually touch anyone) while the other was letting them play. Trouble was that while let 'em play ref was pretty even, the touch foul guy favored Michigan. It would be interesting for someone to analyze the tape and see whether or not touch foul guy had UM's coach in his ear all game or if he just favored them because.

 

[GVol1966]

This team just doesn't shoot consistently.it hasn't all year and the drought killed us this game.

Exactly, 8-10 minutes and scoring 5 points way to much this year to be confident they would go deep in the tournament.
Hoped they would surprise me but they didn’t.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I will say this…Aidoo didn’t see meaningful minutes against Longwood. And was expected to guard an elite big.

Uros actually rose to the challenge, sat the last 6-8 minutes of the game.

Despite cold shooting from deep no attempts to find someone hot. Powell never goes in, no Q, and Bailey never takes a 3.

KC had 7 assists in 1st half and we’re up 5. Only got 2 more in 2nd half and we lose by 6.

I get KC & ZZ driving helped get us a lead, but they also gotta still try to find their teammates.

 

[OrangenSC]

Exactly. He isn’t a good tournament coach. Is what it is.

Yeah, because after winning the SEC TOURNAMENT, that doesn't count as a tournament anymore.

 

[backdoorcutvol]

I really like JJJ. His leadership and play improved significantly this year.

JJJ is the glue that holds the team together

 

[LA Vol]

Softball worries me.

Not having a reliable pitching staff to get through SEC play will cost them. Just as it has year after year after year.

 

[InVOLuntary]

If yall don't think this stuff is nefarious, ask yourself why Michigan was even in the tournament? When was the last time a 17 win team got in without an automatic bid? Why did Duke get a 2 seed? Why is Bill Self still coaching? Why did it take 6 years for the hammer to come down on Will Wade? Why has nothing been advanced with Pearl (one of his coaches was arrested by the dang FBI)? The NCAA is corrupt. Juan is getting rewarded for taking his punishment for punching another coach. They're "taking care" of him.

This is the best lineup theyve had in a bit too, but im still not sure if its good enough. Pitching wise, they need Rodgers back soon.

We need to get Rick Barnes to bitch slap Bruce Pearl next season.

Yep. Last year’s team was better but missing a point guard .
This year’s had the point guard but lacked the couple of big time talent that last year’s had.
Would be nice to have one with all the pieces in place.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Good news everyone!

Felt like that when “his moment” with KC post game was shoved in our face.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Well first off you don’t pull a guard for a forward. And you don’t pull your most consistent player for a freshman that hasn’t proven he can play more than 4 possessions in a row without going brain dead. Hatfield will get there but you don’t pull your best shooter because he’s missed a few while getting mugged.
