"Even to make it this far is a blessing," Tennessee forward Josiah-Jordan James said. "People counted us off after the second game (loss to Colorado in Nashville). We didn't listen to it. We stayed resilient. I know we're proud of ourselves."
The bottom line? Florida Atlantic was the better team on Thursday night.
Blessing? And who has JJJ listening to when they were ranked #2 or top 10 most of the year? They collapsed bc they couldn't score and refused to drive to the rim/ get to the FT line. They collapsed bc JJJ and others didn't step up just like last night and go get a basket when needed
"We haven't had a healthy team since February 8," Barnes said. "When you ask me if we improved (throughout the season), we did. There's no doubt we improved or we wouldn't be here today."
JJJs mentality oozes one of a softness that was just happy to get that far and thinking they accomplished anything this season
As for Barnes thinking this team improved this season......that's so far removed from the truth based on all the stats, their record and eye test it's sad to think he actually believes it
