    This team is missing that slashing 3 that can break people down and finish at the rim.

    I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here. Because Tennessee has never been to a Final Four, we should be happy with a coach that has proven, more often than not, that he won't be playing on the second weekend of the NCAA tournament?

    And the team he took to the Final Four had TJ Ford, who was the Naismith Player of the Year, won the Wooden award, and was a top 10 pick in the NBA.

    They also had Royal Ivey, Brad Buckman, James Thomas, Brandon Mouton and Brian Boddiker. That was a hell of a team.

    Barnes is the Bobby Cox of college hoops.

    And I leave the arena and it’s raining. Perfect.

    He had a lot of talent go through Austin, which makes his lack of results in March even worse.

    I guess I just don’t see the point. He’s not getting fired after the season we just had. Literally no coach anywhere in any sport would. You could say we never should’ve hired him. I wouldn’t disagree. But considering who we had in charge at the time, I’m damn thankful we got him. This administration landing Rick Barnes was a damn coup

    RockyHill Loves Auburn more than Tennessee.

    Goodness, haven’t heard any of those names on a long time. They were studs.

    More like Billy Bean. Had the talent never went anywhere.

    I'd also like a big man that Grant can just toss one up near the rim when doubled. We have fewer alley oops to big men than about any college team around.

    Had a few cross country flights in January and February. Spent most of them watching old NCAA tournament games from the mid 90’s and early 00’s. I had forgotten how good that team was.

    You’re not going to win in the tournament with a deficient offense.

    Accurate. Gotta have both offense and defense to win. Duke,Michigan State, Michigan, Villanova, and Kentucky are the most well-rounded.

    I just don't have it in me to get excited about Vols basketball.

    That was college basketball overall this year. Not just the SEC

    And they will always have that. As long as they live.
