Tennessee Volunteers SEC Champions
- Thread starter della
- Start date
Who knows, but he has been our best coach ever and will be missed by me. I think this is his best UT team and we will drop off next year, so while other Vols are looking forward to the dance, I'm already mourning this season ending. I have always been a fan of the journey more than the destination.
There’s no better journey than a championship run.
I asked some Vol fans which they would prefer, Barnes winning the title this year and retiring or Barnes getting a FF and staying for 5 years.
My choice was Barnes for 5 more years.

there is a lot of talk Dusty May wants the Tennessee job and our AD wants him as well. I think May holds out for 4 more years then gets the job
I tell ya...championships in college basketball are hard to come by. March is beyond random. In my opinion, toughest championship to win in American sports.
If I were you, I take the championship and run.
"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end..."
I would look at it this way, in your hypothetical scenario you guarantee yourself a championship on one hand....then on the other you guarantee yourself nothing over the next five years. Dalton Knechts don't grow on trees anymore in this era of college basketball.
Take the championship....all day haha.
It is safe to say that UT will be solid as long as Barnes is here. I prefer being solid to being a flash in the pan.
UT is a hell of a team right now. Dalton Knecht is a pro right now. Those shots he keeps hitting are daggers and pure.
Calipari is going to have to go deep into his bag of tricks just to keep from getting blown out on Saturday.
Only 4 losses for UT in this SEC, is extremely impressive.

UT vs UK and it doesn't matter. That is kinda crazy to even imagine it. UK didn't look inspired against Vandy and who knows how UT will come out. Our gauntlet of Barn, bama, SCAR and UK was a daunting task. I knew we could win them all or lose them all or something in between.UT is a hell of a team right now. Dalton Knecht is a pro right now.

Never know what can happen in a five year period. Heck, look at the last five years of UT bball:
2019: lost in Sweet 16
2020: wouldn't have made the tourney (if one was played)
2021: lost in first round
2022: lost in second round
2023: lost in Sweet 16
You may argue that is solid, which most would probably agree with, but really none of those results come close at all to securing a championship. It is more likely that UTs next five years are like that, in my opinion, then Final Four/championship runs.
Again, all my opinion, but I take the championship 100 out of 100 times.
Are you talking about the Tennessee Volunteers?! They don’t do the final four, man. It’s not in their makeup.
That is rich from the fan of a team that is the whipping boy of CBB and CFB.
Congrats on the SEC regular season championship but saying you would pass on a title is dumb. For a team that’s never won a title or even made a final four (which should be the goal) saying you would pass on a title when you have no clue what’s gonna happen is pretty dumb. Final fours are hard (as you know because you’ve never been to one) and titles are even harder (don’t have one of those either) so you take a title and run with it.
His best team ever? Well the good thing about that is you’ve said “this is his best team ever” each of the last five years and he hasn’t done anything with it so you should be use to that. Saying that, I’m all in on you and your Vols making a Final Four this year Lou Lou. I’m picking the mighty Vols to make it this year!!!
Y'all need to go back to the ACC because you don't belong in the Prestigious SEC. Either that or change your mascot to Victims. The Fighting Victims of South Carolina.
You can use that, no charge.
Damn, I didn’t realize UT had been that bad the last few years in the tourney. All I’ve heard was how Rod had his best team ever so I was thinking UT had been solid.
Isn’t that crazy! Imagine never making a Final Four but saying you wouldn’t celebrate it if your team made one. Blows my effing mind😂
Kentucky has a good team. Dillingham could not miss against us in Lexington. He was simply unbelievable.
We have a good team, but we can get beat by any body and UK ain't just an any body. Who knows what these teams mind sets will be?
Yeah, UT has earned it this year. Nobody can cut down their accomplishments.
I'm sure your guys will be jacked up and ready for Saturday.
UK's defense is not ready for this, they are still getting eaten live by dribble penetration and open threes. Can't do that with Ziegler, Vescovi and especially Knecht.
It should be a good game for a while.
UK's defense has baffled me all year. It's like we don't care, we will score more. I just cannot understand such great players just not stepping up on defense. 🤷♀️
I have 1 question for Cal about the defense:
Can we try something different please?
This is the definition of insanity. Try something different.
You know it will not be a zone, and it's late to teach that now.
But how have you not taught a defense for a pick and roll, or a back door cut and get out on threes?
You shouldn't worry your pretty little head about it. Y'all scored 92 points against UT last time. That's a lot of points. Defense is overrated.You know it will not be a zone, and it's late to teach that now.

Young lady I know you are just picking and having fun, and I totally love it.
It is all about fun on this board for me, I respect every poster here that loves and stands up for their team, so that defiantly includes you.
So, with that said, I give you this with love. 🤣

CD,
When I am named Duchess of Lexington with our occupation force, I will overlook this insolence. I will personally supervise your re education. Rest easy comrade and future Vol.
Young lady, if you are ever named, crowned or whatever,
