I don't see this changing as Rick is in his twilight years.Tennessee men's basketball has been at it's all-time best over the last 2 or 3 years. UK basketball clearly HASNOT been at our all-time best. And they UT still can't beat us. The Vols have lost 5 out of their last 6 games against UK.
I don't know how much longer Barnes will go, but I tip my hat to him. He has helped make Tennessee a very respectable rivalry game once again. I'm giving a shout out to Byington as well, having Vandy and a tough place to play like old times, UT and Vandy! Hardknoxville and miserable gym ! Tough teams, well coached. Some of those out of bounds plays Barnes draws up, though. egads. Killer plays. I won't miss those. HA! Old school undervalued coach. Still can't believe he hasn't gotten the Vols to a Final Four yet. If it's not him, then who? And if not now, when ?I don't see this changing as Rick is in his twilight years.
