Apparently, the Vols and Coach Barnes felt like resting and healing the aches and pains supercedes competing for  a meaningless trophy. Gotta feel like the Big Orange is gearing up for a run next week for a national title  while the Cats and their fans take Music City by storm in hopes of winning the prestigious Sankey Cup. Good luck, Blue!!!

Yessir, Barnes is no dummy. He said screw another SEC championship and nailing down that last #1 seed. The health of his players comes first. He knew if they had to play about another 30 minutes of basketball tomorrow in a 2 1/2 hour span and maybe even have to play another 30 minutes Sunday, they would be mentally and physically gassed and certainly in no condition to play another 60 minutes or so of basketball in a 3 day period at the end of next week. Winning is for suckers, smart people lose.

BAHAHAHA!
