They were NOT going to let us win this game.

[Volnanza]

Edy draws 17 fouls and gets 1. What a travesty of officiating. Half were phantom fouls. I am totally disgusted.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Refs had nothing to do with Ziegler going 2-13 or whatever he was. 2-5 from the free throw line. Aidoo being terrified and playing embarrassingly bad.

 

[VolsRule]

Purdue - had the refs in their pocket the whole game

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Dude we have 1 player score double digits. No one else showed up. ZZ 3-12. JJJ started off incredible then promptly disappeared, as he always does. Aidoo got outplayed by a true freshman.

well they definitely had something to do with Edey’s 22 ft attempts

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

I like JJJ and Vescovi but I’m ready to move on. I have no clue what Santiago’s deal was this season

 

[zjcvols]

I want people to explain to me to draw a perfect gameplan to win an Elite Eight game down 22 free throw attempts

Purdue also had one player show up. The difference is he got to shoot about 20 free throws and toss people all over the gym with no calls.

They didn't. But they affected about everything else you could In the game. Calling ghost fouls on Edey and letting Edey forearm our guy to the face and shoving people In the back.

You're right, it was evenly called and no bias at all. Clueless

 

[UTK]

same ol story when we play Purdue in anything. They’ve yet to legitimately beat us. It’s comical

 

[EZE]

The officiating decided this game. It was by far the most impactful element out there today.

I guarantee you that Duke will not face officiating like that.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

They're getting the Matchup they all wanted. Nuff said.

Refs had everything to do with calling only fouls against Tennessee. Edie score more from the free throw line than the field.

Has nothing to do with it. We got cheated by the refs. EVERYONE knows that. Refs were agin' us.

LOL

Purdue likewise didn’t have much of a supporting cast. I think the teams were pretty even…but one team got a lot of extra help.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

It would have taken an unbelievable performance shooting the ball to overcome the stripes in this game. We needed another stretch like we had In the first have where we went on a run.

Keep that logic to yourself. Not allowed. Refs cheated us. Hard. Paid off.

I just hate blaming refs. In any sport. There's too many opportunities to overcome a call that doesn't go your way. And we couldn't do that. We just needed 1 guy to step up and score 15-18 points. Everyone crumbled.

 

[VolsRule]

Fix was on - get purdue in the final 4 - betters scored big

 

[lilesrt]

Purdue is the better team. They proved it. Tip hat and move on. This in no way takes away the accomplishments of this season. I’m proud of our guys.

I think we will find out that more than Vescove have the flu. Adoo had zero energy.

100% correct. Refs really turned up the bias in the second half.

I agree. But play beyond the bad calls and rise above it only go so far, same goes for football v Bama and uga lately.

Can't overcome the people who control the game when they want you to lose

 

[Voltopia]

Tip hat and move on.

No, I don't think I will.
