Rod Barnes Playing Quotations

He has really helped us and been a good backup point guard, but we have got to get him back playing well. I challenged him after the Mississippi State game. He has lost some of his aggressiveness. He was attacking, knocking down shots and running the team. The last few games he has not played as many minutes as we need him to play.

I think Coach Pearl has done a great job. There's a lot of excitement at Tennessee and their kids are playing hard and playing well. It's become one of the toughest places to go and play.

Those two are probably playing as well as any two wing men in the league, and maybe in the country.

At the end we were playing like a team that hadn't won in a while. We did everything we could to give it away.

Clarence Sanders really was impressive. I think he was looking forward to the challenge of playing a Top 25 team.
