Looks like both men and women could be fighting to hold onto a 4 seed. Both teams were a 2 seed and have been dropping winnable games down the stretch.

FYI, this is what Barnes teams at Texas did in his later year's

I wouldn't know tbh. Didn't keep up with tx...

To me, I think our personnel limitations have been exposed... we're pretty good everywhere....outstanding nowhere, and as well as we have been defensively, when we go up against longer teams we get out rebounded, and allow way too many put backs, nullifying the good defense we may have actually played on a given possession.

All that to say, I think on the whole... Barnes has done a very good job this season considering what everyone expected from TN this year.

Hopefully they'll find their game again soon. They truly look like a different team as of late.

They tend to have disappointing games against physical teams OTR. They get mugged, the calls don't go their way and the momentum works against them. Probably a similar loss, for the same reasons, for the LVs tomorrow.

I've given up on the Lady Vols. I've began to expect their failures. The men I think can get it back.

I agree. But as willing as I have been to write off the performances of the past few games, now it's translating into Ls. Lost 2 of the last 3...

Wrong time of the year to have an inkling of fading....

We need to finish strong so we can take advantage of that double bye...

Someone else mentioned us maybe peaking too soon earlier this week, and got straight up smashed for it. Looking a little more like he may be right, if this trend continues.

Random thought that popped into my head today..

Remember when everyone got hype when Hurd ran on that treadmill at like 23mph for a few seconds? Good times

A White Nationalist. One the guys from Charlottesville.

Logical progression of leftist identity politics. White people are starting to play the game.

Hopefully, free thinking individuals will prevail, but i’m not surprised at the recent emergence and popularity of these groups.

That's the problem with the 1st Amendment, it's inconvenient. While I completely agree with you that he represents the lowest form of humanity, I've heard my own God fearing, Bible believing views described in identical terms to what you just used. Today it's neo-Nazis. Tomorrow it's Christians. Yes, slippery.

Georgia plays extremely physical, and for some reason, is always a terrible matchup for us...probably because they never get fouls called against them when they play us, just like tonight. We didn’t get in the bonus in the first half. Didn’t get into it until less than a minute to go in the 2nd half and game was over. If Georgia played that same game against UK, they would have 2-3 players fouled out, and UK would win by 20+, because UK gets those calls.

Mark Fox has our number, it seems like. We do need to beat them at home and shut their Bulldog pieholes.

Texas A&M canceled his presentation and received support from state politicians.

Just because Tennessee is a public/state university, doesn’t mean that they have to let anyone book a speaking engagement...

Well we did move them from McClung to Buehler Hall. Sending those asshats to Hill seems like a decent punishment.

I believe in TAMU's case that the school and press caught wind of it long before the engagement and Chalottesville as well as Gainesville had just taken place. The problem with some of the white nationalists groups in terms of prevention is that a lot of them are new blood and as such everyone has to google their names. Twitter and social media is giving them the ability to rise rapidly within their little circles of hate but under-the-radar of the general public.

The other problem is that universities in general are pretty loath to ban anyone from speaking, even people as disgusting as this.

Three games in a row where we have no answers for length inside.... we've gotten killed on the boards and allowing 2nd chance buckets.

I dunno that grant has regressed as much as it is he's just a 1 trick pony. It's a good trick, but as we've seen, you can match up against him if you have the right personnel.

And we have nobody that can create on his own. We don't drive or cut all that well, and I don't see guards that affect offense with assists lately.

Right now this looks like a team that can't make a run in the post season.

Quite the departure from 2 weeks ago.

Need to get the mojo back.... in a hurry...

Bone can create on his own, but he does not finish well. So, I guess your point is valid.
