There are repeated posts after every game about players rotating and playing minutes. The common remark, "I do not understand why Coach Barnes pulls ,,,,". The answer is defense intensity and keeping fresh legs in the game. Coach Barnes and his staff really look at the minutes for players because of the impact of fatigue not only in a single game but in the season. He has covered this several times in post game shows mentioning his concerns about a player or players having too many minutes in a game.
He has also covered the players on the floor for the last 3 - 5 minutes of the game. Defense and free throw shooting In the Gamecock game those guards made several bad plays and you just have to chalk some of that to the fact that basketball is like baseball sometimes the best hitters strike out. How many times have Turner and/or Daniel hit the big shot this year that put the Vols over the hump for a win?
