    How about this?

    Junior guard Jordan Bone, who had 14 points and a pair of 3-pointers, pointed to a sense of anxiousness on the floor from UT’s guards. It was easy, Bone said, for the Vols to start putting up shots after making shots without going through the offense.

    That bothered Barnes most, while Bone felt the Vols failed to handle the environment well.

    “Honestly, I don’t like the way we handled it as a team,” Bone said. “I feel like by now, we have a lot of veteran guys and we should be used to the environment like this. We can’t do anything but learn from it. We are going to get a lot more games like this.”

    The issue wasn’t a lack of belief from the players. Bowden has always struggled with his confidence and he appears to be in a funk right now. UT had a chance to close out at the end but didn’t get it done. I think it’s encouraging that they had a chance to win still with as bad as the offense was at times

    You legit seem to have a tough time reading. He, point blank, said the team didn't handle the environment.

    and you said they never believed they could win. Quit trying to deflect your stupid ass statement. Everytime a game is played and its tight late, one team handles it and one team doesn't. Tn didn't last night. It had nothing to do with Barnes at Texas, and had nothing to with the team not believing they could win the game. It had to do with having the ball up 2 late in the hands of the SEC POY and not getting a good shot or to the ft line. Basketball stuff. For the less emotional.

    Dude, he [uck fay]ing supported exactly what I said. They couldn't handle the environment. How much more clearly do you need it spelled out for you? If they believed they could win then they would not have a problem handling the environment. They hoped they could win, not believed. It's plain as day, Bone laid it out plainly for you and you still act as if someone else is the fool, not you. [uck fay]ing hell, read, for God's sake.

    Duke didn't handle the environment well vs Gonzaga late. Coach K said as much. Man if they only believed they could win they woulda got it done.

    In no form or fashion will any player on the team tell you he or his teammates didn't believe they would win the game. Saying they didn't handle their business and will learn from it is exactly what happened. Problem is you are a drama queen and can't tell the difference in very much that is out of your tunnel.

    He didn't say they didn't handle their business; he said they couldn't handle the environment, you nitwit. It's there in plain English, if you could bother to read it instead of worrying about everyone's level of positivity.

    UNazi you can react however you want. If you are an emotional midget after an OT loss vs #2 Kansas, im allowed to comment.
    When you say our coaches and players didnt believe they could win and try to support that argument all day, it makes you look foolish. If Bone didnt believe we could beat Kansas, he shoulda never stepped on the floor and should transfer, yet you cant understand how stupid that sounds.

    Bone was the one criticizing, not the one who was....you know what? [uck fay] it. You are hopelessly lost on understanding this.

    Anyone wanting to give Uni grief is okay
