Rick Barnes Barnes Tennessee Barnes gives “emotionally” honor to volunteers to seniors after winning in South Carolina

Tennessee Basketball The Rick Barnes chief coach gave an emotional statement about his seniors after his team 75-65 won across southern Carolina. Volunteers bounced at the senior day of a Hard loss on the road to Ole Miss To pick up their twelfth SEC defeats the seasons. The 4-ranked team in the country will now be referred to a conference tournament with a chance to earn its first number 1 in the history of the program.

Tennessee celebrated seven seniors on Saturday, including Jahmai Mashack and Zakai Zeigler, who were in Knokville’s entire career. Barnes praised all of his outgoing players and entered in detail How much Mashack and Zeigler rose as players and people over the years.

“Looking at how much they came, it’s emotional because I know how heavy I was in both the point of view of the coach. But I think it’s from my love. And respecting that they are after it’s hard to reach.

But our goal is to make sure that when it was said here, they know how much we care about them, they love them. And I hope they know that we didn’t leave anything in our tank, we would like to prelate them all. These two guys served in four years lived towards our hood, it is not about me, as well as any part of the players who have ever gone through the program. “

The older volunteers are constants in this program as a rise to be one of the best in the country

Basketball Tennessee left that in the last few years of a good program and now has the opportunity to make their first last four at school in school history. From the point of view of the staff, it is probably the most offspective team of Rick Barnes in Knokville, with experienced higher guards who were already part of deep run in March. This includes Jahmai Mashack and Zakai Zeigler, who were also key players on Tennessee’s elegant eight aggravated last year and is even more more vital this season.

Volunteers still have a purposive physical identity that the Rick Barnes teams always had. However, this group further has a recording shot that the team must have another weekend NCAA tournament. But looking forward, Zeiigler and Maschack raised this program at new heights during their time in Knookville. All extraordinary results that happen to this program this year and in the near future will be on the Foundation’s accounts such as these two, and the rest of the Roster was built during these years.
