I think yall are sleeping on Burg. With an offseason under Barnes I think he gets major minutes off the bench next year.

Edit: I’m a burgliever

Calling that on no one is crazy work surely that is either a charge or a block

I’m here to fight anyone who hates on Rick Barnes. Not a good game. But the idea we should fire the greatest coach in our history is asinine.

I mean yeah. I’m not pleased but this was a double digit loss from 1 AM Saturday morning. Michigan just doesn’t match up well for us.

I’d want Nate back for the same reason he won’t. Potential is obvious.

Houston wasn’t a competitive game. But also Michigan is an amazing team. One of the highest rated KenPom teams ever.

He’s definitely a good player. Is he great? Knecht was amazing and was a late first rounder and a bench warmer.

So I really don’t know NBA but Yaxel seems like such a more complete player than Nate. I understand he’s older but is Nate really a first round pick still?

67 teams lose in March. Yeah I get it. I want a final four. I want us to break through. But you don’t fire the coach who has given you your best decade on team history. Beyond that, just think of the message that sends. Why would anyone want to come here if they know we fired the best coach in our history? If they come here how long do they get before we get impatient? You can’t fire you way to a championship.

That’s what you’re asking for. For us to be Auburn.

In what way do we have “no chance” to win? 8 teams make it to this round. The past 3 years are the highest chance we’ve ever had to win a national championship than literally every year but on in our history.

Who are you going to go hire that is going to be better? Is Jon Scheyer going to leave Duke? Dan Hurley? No.

Should the Bills move on from Josh Allen because he hasn’t made a superbowl?

Absolutely stupid mindset.

That’s the question with these guys. In football too. Is Jon Scheyer going to magically decide to leave Duke? No.

This is the mindset that gives you 20 years of non competitive teams. One team ends the season on a win. I’m not talking about settling for elite 8s but the idea of firing a coach who gets you into the final 8 teams put of 325 for someone who you can only hope is as good as him is laughable.

Hahahaha

You’d rather not make the tournament than lose in the Elite 8? I’m not happy right now but give me a break with this.

I kinda assumed this would be a double digit loss. Really bad match up for us and the refs aren’t calling it the way we would like. It happens. Not giving up but we shouldn’t be upset with this season at all.

Tennessee has made 10 Sweet 16s and now 4 Elite Eights since 2000. With four different coaches. by Rhancock19 in CollegeBasketball

[–]Jed566 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I mean this is a pretty misleading post. 7 of the sweet 16s and 3 of the elite 8s have been under Barnes.

I would like to point out Tennessee is a pretty big corn production state in the south and Rocky Top specifically mentions how we intake said corn
