That’s what I was thinking… seems like every year in February beginning of march barnes will step down/fired and then he goes on a run. Feels like bianco. Good luck Sunday. No problem rooting for Barnes since his days a Clemson ( can’t remember who he was trying to fight in the ACC tournament).

Not a Tennessee fan, but all Longhorns are Rick Barnes fans so I hope y’all can pull the upset. First class human being, best b-ball coach we ever had, and just a good guy.

Just to show how impressive Rick Barnes taking Tennessee to three consecutive Elite 8’s is, here’s a list of Hall of Fame coaches who never made three straight Elite 8 appearances after the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985:

Jim Boeheim
Jim Calhoun
Dean Smith
Gary Williams
John Thompson
Jay Wright
Bob Knight
Lute Olson
Nolan Richardson
Eddie Sutton

Michigan will be a damn tall hill to climb.
The Vols are built to climb it. It's gonna be fun watching y'all's monsters (#1 rebounding in nation) doing battle with theirs.
I think that Ament will be the key to the game. Good luck!

I think it is hilarious that Barnes continues to win. One of the consistently good coaches in the second tier of college basketball
