Pearl isn’t our coach anymore…who cares. LSU fired Wade. People still clamoring for Pearl after 15 years… just dumb.

He beat #1 Memphis and KD’s Texas led by our current coach and has made him his B*** every year what’s not to like😂

Go root for them, then. It’s easy.

Barnes has beaten two #1 teams here. Tell me about that Kevin Durant team because you have no clue.

By the way, how’s Quez Glover?

A team gives up zero points to the school of the blind, and gives up 40 to their rival. 20 ppg. Good or bad?

Season’s over, volbeast. We gave it our best shot, though.

But if we had won, it wouldn't have mattered, the usual suspects would say: because it's November, we peaked too early, and we would not accomplish anything post season anyway. The win over #1 or #2 would have been a "meaningless" game.

He managed to drum up a second round loss with Kevin Durant and DJ Augustine (big flop) how can you hate on a Knoxville native who was never really given the opportunity to shine?,was offered by the university and chose to go elsewhere 🤔 weird flex but I get the animosity…at that time Quez was exactly what we needed a facilitator..I’m assuming you enjoyed watching the eye sore offense of vescovi getting his pocket picked every possession because he’s too slow for the sec not to mention he isn’t a point guard.which is why every team in the sec pressed in the half court against us😭😂

we have the 8th toughest schedule in the country.

I don't care if we've had the toughest. Its never going to change the fact: the teams we faced with a pulse on offense, tore us to shreds. Anyone who disputes that, I have no desire to converse further about it.

Yes, other factors to it...one being our offense didn't do ANY favors for the D this year; however, the argument was the importance of PPG. While no, PPG can't be just tossed aside and ignored, it's definitely one of those stats that deserves heavy scrutiny...definitely a stat that a lot of times, doesn't tell nowhere near the entire story.

Just like he lived up to his word of not posting anymore if we beat Florida last year.

It’s sad because that team pretty much gives max effort for the T night in and night out. Say what you want about them (and there are things to criticize), but they’ve earned more than to be given up on for losing two extremely difficult matchups in Maui on Feast Week.

Texas had 5 of their top 7 players were freshmen. The other two were sophomores. The next year they won 30 games and went to the Elite Eight. Durant was the first unanimous player of the year as a freshman. Augustine was a top 10 pick! Haha... Barnes sucks.

Glover wasn’t good enough- just admit it. You think you know better than a hall of fame coach. Pretty funny. By the way, Vescovi isn’t playing PG, so I guess you don’t watch much.

So, again, our opponent had 2.5x opportunities at the line. We needed to shoot better, but it came down to free throw opportunities. They were miserable from the line. If the FT chances were even we win.

Kansas and Purdue, combined, shot 70 free throws. 70! That in itself is mindblowing; but, UT's total was 38. Two-game average of 35 to 19.

I’d rather struggle early and continue to get better as the year goes on and peak in March. We are still learning to play together with new teammates and new roles. Freaking out this early after losing to the #1 and #2 teams in the country is pure crazy. We shot like crap. We will improve and we will be dangerous.
