Vols BB Team

[gobblegrunt]

Rick Barnes- SEC Coach of The Year
Grant Williams- SEC Player of The Year
Lamonte Turner- Co-6th Man of The Year
Admiral Schoefield- 2nd Team All SEC

Not bad for a team picked to finish 13th in the SEC!!

 

[THEdonkey0515]

Turner is a sophomore......

Williams is a sophmore.....

Schoefield is a JR........

Barnes is a darn good coach, team is set up to be good for the next couple years. They got 1 senior on the entire team. He comes off the bench, & has been getting less playing time.

 

[gobblegrunt]

Things are definitely looking good for the men's bb program. They are still a very young team.

All that plus a SEC regular season Championship (co- with Auburn but 1st one in 10yrs..Ill take it)...Hope all that don't spell a one and done in the SEC and NCAA tournament.

Is playing one and done in the SEC tourney a bad thing? Get healthy for the NCAA tourney... IMO no, but as a competitor you want to win it.

But congrats on the winnings. Very good season for them. UF underachieved this year mainly bcse of having our two big men hurt all year. Our starter didn't play any. We have a 3 playing a starting role. :bash:

But it is what it is...

Honesty, I would rather see them win the SEC Tournament. Chances are slim of getting to the Elite 8, healthy or not.

Yep me too..Just keep the momentum going

The SEC tourney is nothing but a moneymaker for the conference.

While winning it would be nice, getting some rest for the big dance would be beneficial.

 

[buckaroo]

They will be awesome next year

 

[Mr.Bro]

Barns is not resting this team any. Same as all year. Balls to the wall.
One and done? You got to be kidding. Listening to big blue fans to much. They want to win this as bad as any game.
SEC co champs and tournament winner and your looking at a number 2 seed. Very possible.
Anybody who says the Vols cannt make the elite 8. Well don't count em out.

Here is what I said regarding 1 n done(s): "All that plus a SEC regular season Championship (co- with Auburn but 1st one in 10yrs..Ill take it)...Hope all that don't spell a one and done in the SEC and NCAA tournament."

I know... I was thinking Bro took it a little more than the way you said it.

 

[nitro_z17]

Wooooo that was close :super: arty:

 

[THEdonkey0515]

Good win

 

[TreyB]

Good win

What's a bad win? :tu:

 

[Forvols]

1pt or 20pt win its still a W. ARK beat UT in regular season at ARK back in DEC (95-93). And if UT gets past ARK, UT beat KY twice reg season and BAMA beat UT pretty good in FEB. So get past ARK I think I would rather play BAMA in champ game, think it will be harder to beat KY a 3rd time.

 

[Forvols]

TN is shooting 72% with 5min to go in the 1st half and already have 6 blocked shots.

 

[Forvols]

VOLS won pretty big..Now got KY in the championship game tomorrow.

 

[nitro_z17]

:tu:

 

[gobblegrunt]

I'm really impressed with this Vols team. They are very unselfish and play very well together. I really enjoy watching them. I was hoping that Auburn would make it to the finals so we could possibly get some revenge! Oh well ill take the chance at getting to beat Kentucky 3xs in a season!!

 

[THEdonkey0515]

3 wins in a row over Kentucky in the same season? Is that even gonna be possible!

Not likely

Still happy with the vols basketball team no matter what happens today

Vols have really played great this year. I was very surprised.
They may have needed this loss today. Get it out of their system.
Now onto a big run in the tournament.
NC a possibility ?? Crazier things have happened.
I just realized today that the vols haven't won the sec tournament since I've been alive. I wish it wuda been today. I really like their coach. I knew they were going to get much better when he came to Knoxville.

 

[nitro_z17]

they got a nice bracket. they should make sweet 16. and i can see them in elite 8. we shall see
