The Bama who has 1 conference loss, in a conference that might get 9 teams in the tourney??

EVERYONE IS OVERRATED

 

[Zues1]

Hope you keep laughing big guy once we yet again don’t make it out of the first weekend of March madness. You’ll be sitting on your butt saying Ole Eagle was correct

Hey bru, why don't you relax a minute and watch the game.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

You can’t fix stupid.

We always have regular season success under Barnes. What the hell does any of that matter when we always lose first/second game of NCAA tournament? Bama and Kansas are overrated and we played Texas shortly after they lost their HC. You need to also talk about losing to horrible Auburn, Colorado, UF, Vanderbilt, etc

There is a lot incorrect information in this post... ugh...

1. Texas' coach was fired almost a month before our game
2. We have definitely underachieved in March but we have only been 4 times per my count and we have made a Sweet 16 (three games in). Billy Donovan lost in the first two games for 7-8 straight years prior to his back to back titles run. Every team has to struggle. I do think we have underachieved but it is usually only by 1 game or so (actually it was the Sweet 16 run year that saw our worse underachievement as the bracket had opened for a FF run).
3. Auburn isn't horrible
4. Vanderbilt also hit a hot streak both before and after the win over Tennessee. They finished 9-7 in SEC play and are one of the hottest SEC teams coming into Nashville. If not for that head scratcher of a loss against Grambling, they would be a bubble team

Florida is no excuse, they have been trash for a while. Colorado was bad as well.

and now here you are, rooting against the Vols to prove yourself correct. Congrats, you’re officially the worst kind of fan.

 

[TennVols12]

DANG IT VESCOVI! You only made 2 free throws, you’re supposed to make 3! Ballgame. He can’t hit free throws. Likely season over

Yea…no. I root harder and probably spend more money on the vols than most people here. I’d die before I ever root against them. But making a prediction based on years of past history shouldn’t be looked down on

You seem like one of those guys that would pull out this argument . Have a nice day my dude. Go vols

Then he’ll remember the post you made saying this team wouldn’t win another game after the Auburn loss. And he’ll laugh.

Hopefully he’s able to laugh at my posts until all the water evaporates out of his body! I want nothing more than to be wrong and for the Vols to win it all

Ah, the old, every top team is overrated post. Genius.

 

[Freak]

Barnes is 11-5 in the SECT. The only Tennessee coach with a winning record.

Fahr Barnes!

 

[vols 30]

Correct me if I'm wrong, But I believe they said we have more SEC wins than anyone else over the last several years. Did he say 7 years?

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Barnes is 11-5 in the SECT. The only Tennessee coach with a winning record.

In what month do they play the SECT? Is it part of the regular season?

 

[Delmar]

We are a badly coached team

I’ve avoided this thread for weeks. Thanks for reminding me why.

Hope you guys are listening to Sean Farnham, who is an incredibly insightful analyst for college basketball. Played and knows the game well. To those Barnes haters, he blows away your ridiculous arguments about college coaches. Yeah, keep talking that biased bull.

I don't hate Barnes at all, but he's wrong. Coaching legends are made in March.
