It's always offense with a Rick Barnes team... They'll be solid defensively , but the inconsistency on offense is what usually dooms them. Someone had to help Knecht out and no one did.
Uros about a foot taller so yeah.. Tennessee lacked anyone to draw Edey away from the basket. They needed to try and draw more fouls on him and they didn't do it. Uros wouldn't have helped that I don't think..
Painter said it was a football game. Grooming the refs before the game ever started. Barnes doesn't chew their azz enough I don't think. He's way too passive at times..
Our guards and weak inside play cost us this game, and just about every game they lost this year. They have to upgrade there. Vescovi forgot how to shoot. James went 2/3rds of the year cold on offense.. No one clear guy to run offense through on the inside hurt us too.. Missed a lot of free...
