@MarkInColumbo Felix has dominated these games in ways that don’t show on the box score. He can switch 1-5, he has guarded ball handlers full court, changes shots at the rim all night. It’s been pretty incredible to watch. I think he got hisself drafted, I really do.

Anybody who’s followed @Vol_Hoops for the past 50 years gets it, the scope of what Rick Barnes has done with a program that has produced great players and great moments, but never this kind of elite consistency. Yes, there’s still the white whale, the Final Four.

Rick Barnes is seemingly one of the more maligned coaches in power conference college basketball. Guy has one everywhere he’s been and has been winning for almost 40 years.
@WesReynolds1 2024 they were the third best team in the country and ran into Edy and the refs in E8
Last year they were the 4th/5th best team in the country and played a team that was just better and they played in a shooting vacuum
@WesReynolds1 Is he my top choice if I have to win one game? No.
To run my program from a culture, player development, recruiting, portal, etc perspective? He’s at the very top
But this was a fucking clinic
