I'd be careful saying Barnes can't coach in tourney......if I recall we got beat by the mighty St Peters in the first round, didn't do any better the year before that, so evidently anymore it seems Cal can't either. Barnes couldn't do much worse, plus he doesn't have as high of recruiting classes as Cal gets.
So Barnes is doing it with less talent, I hate the Vawls as much as anyone, but let's take off the blue tint glasses and face reality. Lastly, do you really think most UT fans care about bball????? No they don't as it's the little brother to Football and I feel that way too. Football is a superior gameday experience and more entertaining at least to me.
