That will do it.

An absolutely embarrassing, pathetic s*** performance and every member of this team and staff should be ashamed at this showing.

Season not over but I think we can start using disappointing and underachieving to describe the season.

 

[Uneasy Rider]

Whew.... just brutal

Brutal game after the early going. Yikes.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

I hate Bama. However, they are the only elite team in our conference

Nate Oats isn’t coming here by the way

 

[Volnbeers]

This team sucks

 

[MAD]

everything will be all better after a big win in Nashville

 

[1985Vols]

Laugh while you can my good fellow, just not while your eating your pie. Orange will rule Gonzaga drool.

wished Johnson played the whole game with emotion

We won’t even get near the Zags in the tourney, unless we drop to an 8 seed

A deep tourney run is the only thing that will keep that from happening.

 

[zjcvols]

We’ve only gotten worse throughout SEC play. How is that possible?

Simple. Not playing to your team’s strengths and forcing them into an outdated offense.

 

[vol05]

we can’t make shots. There is nothing wrong with the chemistry of this team.

Sure there is. It’s not all about the missed shots.

 

[Rylee_Vol18]

My goodness what has happened? This team is....ugh

 

[1985Vols]

This team sucks

This team definitely is the most Jekyll and Hyde team ever to wear the orange

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Simple. Not playing to your team’s strengths and forcing them into an outdated offense.

Which is even more frustrating because we thought they had just changed that.

8-6 conference record for this team is pretty sad with the talent in this group.

 

[BreatheUT]

The buck stops here ( with the coach). He’s thrown the players under the bus af several losses this season. Not good

Your over the top Barnes criticism is a little weird. Even for someone that likes some of your posts. All of this is not on Barnes but yes he does bare the blame with deficiencies in the roster.

 

[1985Vols]

Nate Oats isn’t coming here by the way

That’s a shame. Would be a huge upgrade. ( White knows him well though )

 

[GBO18]

Sure there is. It’s not all about the missed shots.

Seems like the guys are playing hard and getting open looks. What team chemistry are you referring to? And it is always about making and missing shots.

 

[zjcvols]

Which is even more frustrating because we thought they had just changed that.

Barnes can’t change his offense. He hasn’t in 30 years. Not gonna do it now.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

That’s a shame. Would be a huge upgrade

That’s your problem.

White isn’t going to hire any upgrades.

It’s the same damn concept in football.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Missing James & Springer having his worse game.

Really this team needs to get healthy to have a run

 

[vavolfan6]

Never even attempted to win today!! Not even close!!

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I'd think more of a bad practice week, not game plan. They seemed out of energy all game.

 

[Namorto1]

Season not over but I think we can start using disappointing and underachieving to describe the season.

Unfortunately to date you are correct. Really doubt we can expect it given how inconsistent we are but college basketball really comes down to tournament runs.

 

[1985Vols]

Barnes can’t change his offense. He hasn’t in 30 years. Not gonna do it now.

Probably explains his lack of production in March in his 30+ years as a coach

 

[BisonVol]

So now we complain about getting one & dones?

Lol Barnes will never satisfy any of you.

I know we have some ridiculous fans on the board will complain even when things are going well, but let's stop with this mindset of Barnes being immune to criticism when the team plays awful. He's a great coach imo, but he's not perfect and it's more than fair to critique him when his team underachieves.

 

[GBO18]

Can we just bench Fulky until the tournament. Give him some maintenance days.
