I knew this would be a down year. We will still make March and have an alright season but it won't be like 2024 and 2025.

I really thought we would sustain the success, as I thought the chemistry would be strong as most Barnes teams are great there. It’s just not happening this year. Sure, we can beat anyone, but we will also be capable of losing to anyone in the Dance.

I think the difference between home and away with be stark this year. Just look at the TX game vs Gators

Guess it's time to fire Barnes.

I’d fire Barnes’ offense. In all fairness, it’s Barnes lack of offensive coaching that will keep him from advancing to another F4. There is a group of former Vol players that meet and this has been a consensus in their discussions. There are now much fewer restrictions on the time coaches can spend with players. This would afford coaches more time to implement actual offensive schemes and sets. UT seems discombobulated, and it’s obvious the offense is fragmented mess. When you have a creator like Knecht, or a dead eye shooter like Lanier, you can mask these deficiencies.

The biggest head scratcher is Carey. He appears to have every bit of offensive ability as Grant Williams. He isn’t even starting. Yes, his FT shooting sucks, but he is a force down low. The offfense ran through Grant. Barnes would be well served to hire a modern offensive coach and invest more time in implementing an offensive plan.

There isn't any offensive coach in the country who would run their offense through Carey

K. He’s by far, the most consistent and dominant scoring threat on this team. SMH

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 He can't score outside of 3 feet. He can't handle the ball as a dribbler either. I agree he can be a solid low post scorer at times, but he's a third option at best. Estrella is a much more gifted scorer of the ball. On top of it, he's the worst FT shooter in the team. Geez

Say what???

The only similarity between the two is that they are both black.

If Carey were averaging the minutes that Grant got his junior year, he’d be scoring 16.63 a game. Do the math. Granted, he’s behind a bit due to free throw percentage. However, he would easily eclipse Grant in rebounding by a good margin. Lord only knows if he found a way to shoot 70% from the line.

We lost most our starters, the last few years we had players that had been around in the system. This year, they are missing that.

Yep. It’s still very hard to win on the road. Pretty sure I saw a stat last year that said SEC road winning percentage over the last 5 years is something like 33%.

It is hard to win on the road. Not so hard to not get blown out. When you win by 15 and then turn around and get beat by 20+, you aren’t consistent. Estrella has been a huge disappointment. Guard play is crazy inconsistent.
