If you sign up to play ball for Rick Barnes, you’re probably playing in March Madness. 69 year-old Tennessee Head Coach Rick Barnes has essentially won 67% of games he has coached at each of 5 schools. 27 trips to the NCAA Tournament is an amazing number.
With a Final Four appearance and two other visits to the Elite 8, this team has to be considered a contender for the title. We like UConn’s and Houston’s chances the best, but it would not shock us if Rick Barnes finally gets his national title. I’m sure they’ll be cheering for him at his previous schools:
George Mason Patriots
Providence Friars
Clemson Tigers
Texas Longhorns
