Here's what Mark Byington said about Vols coach Rick Barnes and the rivalry before the Vanderbilt basketball game vs Tennessee on Saturday

Vanderbilt (15-3, 3-2 SEC) defeated No. 6 Tennessee (16-2, 3-2 SEC), 76-75, on Saturday Memorial Gymnasium in Nashville, Tennessee. Rankings reflect the USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll. Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes discussed the Vols’ loss.

“Too competitive,” Barnes said. “Thinking they’re going to block a shot or stop everybody. Thinking we’re literally going to keep people from getting a shot off, and you can’t. You absolutely can’t foul a 3-point shooter.”

It was another example of Tennessee’s inconsistency in moments that counted. Instead of facing a one-point deficit, Vanderbilt’s lead quickly ballooned to 13, making a comeback effort that much harder. “It happens to all of us sometimes,” Barnes said. “Our guys fought back, kept grinding but didn’t have enough at the end to get it done.”
