Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes addressed the media this afternoon for the first time since the Volunteers’ loss to Loyola-Chicago in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. He discussed the early exit, along with where this team can go next year and beyond.
“They were devastated. You guys saw that. There’s not much you can say, but watch how they react. Some guys get right back in the gym — they were all back in the gym today. The NCAA rule says we had to take seven days off. But Yves Pons has been in there every day.
