So funny story at work today..I was minding my own business as it was break time..This UGA fan was sitting in one of the booths in the deli area chatting with another co worker. They were discussing UT sports mainly the Lady Vols..He said hey (my name), Lady Vols colors are prettier than that gaudy UT orange..I said to him “UT orange is way better than that gaudy red and black you like.” He just laughed and got quiet..🤣🤣Stupid leg humper fans!!🙄Hope we beat them by 50 Fiddy in Neyland this year!!

Something definitely feels off about the way Barnes has handled this team during its struggles.

We saw some clear adjustments in the Vanderbilt game that got us back in it. But since then it just feels like we are beating a dead horse and hoping for a good outcome doing the same things the same way.

Barnes forgot more basketball than I'll ever know. And he's said some of the things I know would improve us..... But we aren't implementing them...... There has to be reason, he's not lazy, nor incompetent........ Something's off.

I think the biggest thing that's different than the last several is there lack of depth.

We've got 7-8 guys... Where we're used to 10-11.

In no universe is bishop Boswell getting minutes in years past...

And no impact freshman.

I'm not overly concerned but I do think that limits us and could be what keeps us from a deep run.

Anyway..I ain't mad. When this team plays well we can beat anyone. When we play like poop we still can play with anyone not named Florida...

And there's still a ton of opportunisties to build the resume.

38 uncontested 3's is generous.

It doesn't matter, if they are missing 34 threes....try something different! We just kept running plays to get guys open for 3's they can't hit.

It's just Rick's belief that he should stick with that and doesn't have them ready to do anything else.

You just can't defend taking 45 3's when you are missing them. It's ridiculous lol.

Discussion is kinda useless because this is a truth in your narrative. And do there is nowhere to go from there. These players have shown the ability to make open 3s. I assure you they do it on practice. They have all done it in games. ZZ less so than the others. The fact that they have a bad game or go into a slump does not make that bolded statement true. A player that is a 38% 3pt shooter at the end of the season will have stretches where they shoot well above 38% and other stretches where they shoot well below 38%. No matter what stretch he was in prior to his uncontested 3pt attempt, he better take an uncontested 3pt look. Bottom line. It's the right shot from a mathematical perspective and it is absolutely the right shot from a shooter's psychology perspective.

Yikes. Usually, it's a good thing that the other team is taunting you to shoot 3's. Definitely could use Dalton for that. BTW, finally looks like Knecht is starting to hit them again (had a slump).

I hope he stopped taking open, uncontested 3's during his slump. That would have been a good time to just start shooting layups.

His UW run will carry a lot of weight until there's a few years of underwhelming UA seasons.

People will also say Saban was meh in Y1 too...though he had nowhere near the same talent Deboer's been handed, let's be real.

Tbf though it still was Y1 for him and he runs a different system than Saban. He just needs to get his type of guys in there, then we can really begin to see it all come to fruition...as they go 5-7 😅🤣

Ehh not so sure. If he gets a decent QB it won't be great for everyone else.

You don't take Washington from 4-8 to the national title in two years for no reason.
