Now that both of our seasons are over—if Brandon Miller made the correct decision and stayed home and played for UT…

[WhenUrVolUrVFL]

Would we be in the elite 8?

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

In before “Barnes would have coached the offense out of Miller”.

 

[ttocswob]

Still wouldn’t have a shooter, only an accessory…

 

[G0V0LS33]

If what happened still happened with the gun, he would not have played after that.

 

[wmcovol]

He was raised a bamer.

 

[greenbacknative]

If he was at Tennessee and he supplied the gun... he would be in jail. Nort a chance he would be playing at all.

 

[Voltopia]

If Miller had gone to Tennessee, Tennessee would have easily been a #1 seed this year, and #1 seeds have not fared well this tournament, so ... ... maybe? Sure. Why not? I don't know. Perhaps? Yeah. Perhaps.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

If he had gone to TN he would have been in Bible study class, feeding the homeless, or reading stories to blind orphans that night instead of living the thug life.

It’s interesting we finished 2nd in recruiting the two guys that I think would have been extreme difference makers the last two seasons in Banchero last year and Brandon miller this past year. We were so sound everywhere except for having a leading scorer type.

I think in alternate universe Josiah Jordan James or Phillips are that guy but neither had the ability to take over the game. Mashack could be the guy next year. I think he has the athleticism to be elite.

Mashack better work on his shot. He looked like he was gonna faint before those free throws.

I don't think so. Barnes would have not allowed him to play if he was taking 25-30 shots per game. His bench time would not have allowed him more than the time it would take to score 10-15 points per game. Not enough to have made much difference in the outcome as it is.

 

[turbovol]

Didn't Miller have a terrible game last night?

Well played!

 

[sechamp2012]

One thing is for sure he won’t be going to anymore classes. The student/Athlete with the numerator student canceled out😀

 

[OrangeInKy]

Why do we do this?

This. See Tyler Smith incident. Different circumstances/crimes but same principles.

Dan Hurley UCONN coach and Larry David are doppelgangers.

If you are a high school baller trying to decide between TN and Bama or Texas, KY, etc all the opposing coaches have to say to them is, “ do you want to score or work your ass off on D?” They wouldn’t even need to bring up the tournament.

Are you aware that we're recruiting at the highest level we ever have?

That’s his routine. He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. I didn’t pay attention early, but he’s done that the last month or more.

Barnes let Kevin Durant shoot almost 19 shots per game. That was a very young team. But this team didn’t have a go-to scorer, so I believe Barnes would have let him fire it up because he would be our best scorer. It dropped late in the year, but I’m pretty sure Miller was shooting 40% from 3 at one point.
