1.) With seven games left in the regular season, what IYO do the Vols have to do to earn an NCAA Tournament berth? Would a 5-2 finish to get them to 19-12, 11-7 SEC get it done? I would think we would have to finish at least 5-2 to wrap up a bid before the SEC Tournament. Do you agree? Anything less than 5-2, what would we have to do in the SEC Tournament to get in?
2.) Is this just a bad free throw shooting team, or can that be contributed to youth and inconsistency like other areas of play? Is Barnes concerned about the free throws? How much time do they actually spend on it in practice? Is it one of those deals where it messes with your head if you concentrate on it too much?
3.) Just in your time covering UT basketball, how does this coaching job by Barnes stack up? Considering the youth and inexperience, is this some of the best coaching you've seen?
4.) How happy is Barnes to be at UT? How long do you see him staying in this job? He appears to be in it for the long haul by recruiting mid-tier players and developing them into a good team. Do you see it that way?
5.) Other than the obvious need of interior players, what is the biggest need on this roster and how does it get filled?
6.) What do you make of attendance right now? Last night's crowd looked bad on TV. How down is attendance and what do you attribute it to?
