45 minutes- 49 fouls called

[Kinger]

Way too many whistles imo. Only 2 fouls by Vandy were on purpose in OT. 47 others called

 

[livefaith]

It is a real problem with the sport, period.

Anticipation fouls ruin the game

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Players need to adjust. Rules is rules. I didn't see too many called that were way away from the basket that should have been no harm, no foul. No blood, no foul doesn't apply.

Horrible officiating is ruining college basketball. I'm sick of the F1 replays and inconsistent calls. Too many refs wanting to be the center of attention vs. just doing their job

Guess they missed that ridiculous call that clearly went out of bounds on their player. You lost to a better team on your court. You did well to keep it as close as you did.

No real accountability in officiating is the problem imo. 18 year old kids are held significantly more accountable than the refs who actually get paid.

It's impossible to adjust when the refs do not consistently call the fouls. And sure rules are rules, now tell that to the refs that don't call them consistently and hardly any of them do. Refs are not held accountable enough and the NCAA refuses to do anything about it.

Wasn't Grant 23 for 23 from the Charity Stripe?

Not much to complain about there.

Anticipation fouls ruin the game

That and refs being completely out of position calling a foul when they can't even see what happened. When the dude across the court calls a foul that the one ref standing 3 feet away doesn't call, then that's a problem.

Yep, SEC record, and 2nd player in NCAA history to go 23 for 23

 

[madbamahater]

Vandy complaining about refs? That's completely laughable. No one gets home cooking more than Vandy. Not even Kentucky. This is true.

Geez, their message board blows goats. Thanks for making this one awesome, @Freak

 

[All Vol!]

Is it just me, or does it make some sense that there will tend to be a foul call differential in many games when you have a power player like Grant that teams are consistently double teaming and racking up fouls because gang tackling is about the only way to stop him. 23 trips to the stripe by Williams isn't over-officiating any more than it is opposing teams collapsing on a guy who's just damn hard to defend. GW gets fouled a lot; if other teams don't like it, do a better job of defending him.

Vandy snowflakes upset that they got cheated? Stomach churning? Ulcers? Safe space retreat mode?

Master plan - engaged.

Pat Adams thinks every game he calls is about Pat Adams...

 

[Zues1]

Did Vandy shut down the BB program this morning as another poster suggested? I damn sure hope so.
Hate that gym, it's like playing a game in a Dollar General Store parking lot. Those rims are horrible and the fans intolerable.
Kiss my tail Candy.

 

[orangemadam]

Vandy has no grounds for complaint. They had it in their pocket in the last 30 seconds of reg. if they hadn't choked.

 

[FlyFishnVol]

Candy Fans are butt hurt over the missed calls, for a bunch of fans who claim to be smart, they sure do have amnesia on all the fouls they committed. Teams use their fouls to prevent flow or rhythm by the other team. 1. Tennessee is still the better team 2. Candy was playing way above their ability, emotion can only take you so far, UT out played them in the last 3 minutes of regulation and OT. The Admiral will come out of his slump...……….defense solves any offensive woes.

Vandy, you had a good game, probably exhausted yourselves to try and beat #1...…….good try......but skill beats emotional energy. I didn't see UT panic.....at least that is what I saw...………..Love the refs =\

"Oklahoma State's Arlen Clark was 24 for 24 in 1959"...Grant, along with Arlen, did a once in a lifetime achievement...perfect timing...

GO VOLS..RECRUIT LIKE HECK!

I read a few of the silly posts there. The best one was where someone who apparently attended Vanderbilt misspelled "ridiculous". Hope he didn't pay full price for that education.

 

[beamerman]

This was Vandy’s championship game. If they had won they would have always said they beat the SEC champions. Nope.

Soak that in...............1959.........from a player that was not recruited by any serious Div I teams except UT. Coach Barnes is the man!

Question: The call you mention most surely went off the VU player,then a short time later another call like it was called off Bowden which was reviewed.My question,Why was the earlier call not reviewed,The announcer cited the Bowden call was due to overtime required the review,when they were both in overtime. I was really upset (did not help).Anybody know?

Because the first one happened outside of the 2:00 mark. Under 2:00 is when they will review.
