The comments in the media began after the game when Hardaway felt like Tennessee players were looking for a fight after a dustup between the sides (h/t ESPN.com):
"I said [to referees], 'The entire Tennessee team ran over to fight.' Their entire team emptied the bench to run over. They didn't come over because it was a timeout. You could visibly see guys with their fists balled, talking trash to our guys. It was almost like a standoff. I was asking the referee why they were able to come across the line into our area and not get a technical."
Barnes responded by poking fun of Hardaway's take on the situation on Monday:
Per ESPN.com's Jeff Borzello, Hardaway took issue with Barnes' comments Tuesday:
"If you just watch the film, I'm not making anything up. I don't know who Rick Barnes thinks I am, but I'm not a dude that likes to just mess around about anything. I just call it like I see it. No matter how he's trying to make things seem, and I think it's kind of low-class how he's trying to downgrade my guys for flopping and all that. Man, come on, give me a break."
Hardaway clearly wasn't amused.
