1.) Is the late-season swoon simply a case of a young but talented team running out of gas, or does it have more to do with the limitations of this roster (i.e. a lack of size, poor guard play)? In other words, which team is closer to reality - the one that defeated Kentucky and pushed North Carolina to the wire, or the one that got drubbed at South Carolina and whose play was quiet frankly embarrassing against Vandy and LSU?
2.) Do you think Barnes has lost this team in any way? They haven't looked motivated or well coached in the last two or three weeks.
3.) Save for Pons, Kent and Walker, this roster will be the same next year. Aside from a year of growth, what are the signs that this team will make a big leap record-wise next season?
4.) How much of an impact with those new additions to the roster make?
5.) The guard play has obviously been very poor to say the least? Any real optimism on your part that it will get better?
6.) Any hint of possible attrition to the roster in the offseason?
7.) If things aren't dramatically better at this time next season, do you see Barnes continuing as coach? Is there a possibility he would walk away after next season?
8.) How does the new AD effect both basketball teams? Do you think Currie would be eager to make coaching changes with the Vols or Lady Vols if their situations don't improve?
