Duke's non-conference schedule was way better than ours, and included Auburn, Arizona, Kentucky, Illinois, and Kansas. Nobody will argue the ACC is down this year, but to say Duke hasn't played anyone tough is not true.

I'm certainly not saying that their OOC schedule was a cakewalk, but the names of teams on that list are a lot scarier than the actual teams on that list.

Arizona, Illinois, Kansas, and Kentucky have a combined 42 losses with a week left in the regular season.

It was definitely a lot harder than Tennessee's, but they are certainly benefitting from catching those teams all in down years relative to their historical reputations, and still lost two of them.

I did not say that. I think our schedule is tougher overall because of league play. The dent in that is that we lost some dumb games in the conference. Flame away, but it's true.

Nobody's flaming or accusing you of anything. Of course our overall schedule is way tougher than Duke's - nobody would argue that. I'm simply pointing out Duke's non-conference slate was formidable (#21 according to KenPom) and they've been battle tested, just not in a while.

Another great Barnes coaching job.

He's about to get his butt lit up. How hot it gets depends on March madness results. So I'll reserve judgement until that's over, for now. But, I'll say this...it is the final year for me personally...put up or shut up.

Or what?

He’s been to at least the SS in 3 of the last 5 NCAAT’s with one being an EE.

We are 24-6 this year. Just you wait until we have a coach that goes 15-15. I can’t believe the fans who don’t enjoy seasons like this. Frankly, that’s the embarrassment.

What a ridiculous take. DW is probably praying that Barnes coaches a couple more seasons. One less hire he has to make and one less program he has to worry about. Regardless of what happens in the tournament, Barnes seat is about as hot as red meat that’s been in the freezer for ten months.

Oh, let me be clear now. IDGAF...this coach has had 15 +/- years.to figure it out. He has YET to do it. I am DONE with he azz after this year, personally, assuming what I believe will happen in the NCAA. How F'ing sad is it you could have gone all the way....if you would have gotten out of your own stupid ways.

Serious question: have you followed UT basketball? Barnes had led the program with grade A class to statistically the Golden Age in our history.

🤣🤣🤣 If I'm DW....I would have STARTED THE SEARCH a year or two ago. Quietly, privately mind you. Why not...he as close to retirement any anyone for one. But he has HISTORY, personal HISTORY...he's living up to it...so far. But you wish to deny all that. Good for you. I'm done with him if what I believe is the inevitable outcome in the NCAA.

Can you imagine Danny White making the phone call?

"We only made it to the Elite 8 for the second time in school history, and we're fighting for a one seed in the final week of the season with a team that is currently 24-6. I've had it with this underperformance!!! Would you like a job?"
