Rival : Can Barnes take the Long....

That no Final Four in the past 6 years is ********. First of all, it conveniently draws a line so he doesn't get credit for making it with TJ Ford and a rag tag group of other players.

Since then, he's gotten to the Elite 8 twice. One of those times we lost to Memphis who eventually won it all - and oh, I forgot, they didn't really because they cheated.

And, somehow Barnes is blamed for not getting to the Final Four with Durant as a freshman? Maybe, he should of told Durant to shoot more.

Just gonna make it more sweet win we do make it this year.

Memphis lost to Kansas even with the cheating................there was this little free throw issue they couldn't overcome.
 
4RealHorn - what's ypur point? Kansas was clearly the best team that year. We beat them in our house, but I walked away from that game more impressed with Kansas than the Horns. They were incredibly deep and athletic. I expected that they would win it all and they did.

But, my point, was we 'would' have made it to the Final Four - if we hadn't run into Memphis. And, some would argue that we 'did' because their season was scrapped.

Actually, I thought Barnes some of his best coaching that year. Despite a couple impish guards and no true center (Pittman still a work in progress and Atchley more of natural 4-position), we made a deep run. Certainly, not a year where you could say that Barnes wasn't getting it done.
 
If I remember right, PJ Tucker missed the front end of 1-and-1 that would have put us in the FF.

And that Memphis team should have won it all.
 
And that was the Memphis team that just had to take their final 4 banner down, yes? They were cheaters. Hard to beat a pro team.
