If the older players are such p****** they can’t stand sitting on the bench for a few extra minutes, perhaps they’re the problem?? Or maybe they should just get better? Not playing the best players is just asinine and if the upperclassmen want to pout about it then they should go elsewhere for their final year(s)
My concern is that Barnes won't admit defeat and cut ties with Plavsic, Pember and Anosike. If we lose both Springer and KJ as expected, we'd be able to flip the roster and shore up our glaring weaknesses at the post and getting some much needed shooters. A backup point would be nice...a luxury but still nice. No idea what Pons and Fulkerson will do but I'd welcome both back. Barnes can't sit idle and waste next year with Chandler. He's also likely one and done so we really need to surround him with as many ballers as possible. Yeah...easier said than done and this is UT being discussed. Getting hard to remember the last time things lined up for us and went our way in any sport much less basketball.
I’d say there is a chemistry issue when there is not one player who wants to stand up and be a leader. Even if some players don’t posses that typical type of personality. if you care about your teammates someone has to take charge and hold accountability. Not saying that the offensive style doesn’t suck too, because it clearly does
