**2019 March Madness RF Thread**

Took a storm.
Uncharacteristic bad ft's from us.
Unheard of game by Cline.
3 really bizarre calls in a short amount of time. Even the announcer that had been gushing over Purdue was deciding if it should be .6 seconds or .8.

Damndest combo of events. I'm in disbelief.

Yep and of course we're on the losing end of it. Kinda feels like the LSU and UNC games back when Dooley was the coach.

I expect **** like this to happen against Blue Bloods but it literally happens to us against nearly everybody.

My grandma used to tell me about bias against UT when I was very young...kinda thought she was paranoid. As I got older and paid attention I came to realize how right she was.

Edwards was out of bounds on that three at the end of regulation. His heel was on the line. TN got hosed, but we didn’t do ourselves any favors by missing free throws and playing like shi* in the first half.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Forget the foul-- what about the basket they took away from us.

I'm just so tired of it being like this for our team and fans.

True but the foul cost us the game. A no call there means we have the ball.with a lead with 1.7 seconds left. The refs handed them the game there. He should never be allowed to call another game again. The stakes are too high to have either a biased ref or a bad ref. Screw the ref and may he be a failure the rest of his reffing career.

Yeah back to Football Spring practice and recruiting

Speaking of that do we have anyone on commitment watch? Slow cruitin’ season so far.

 

[InVOLuntary]

The travel call. It was legit don't get me wrong but it wasn't exactly egregious...

Don't remember that far back but I'll take your word for it.

Just sitting waiting on VolTwitter to uncover Facebook pictures of that Ref in a Drew Brees Jersey

 

[jakez4ut]

Aight, gonna go watch a movie. Something violent. Later.

They don't call it right at the end of the game we probably lose...

[mr.checkerboards]

I swear every team I root for is the same, im about to quit sports all together

 

[Aesius]

I hope he dies in a car crash on the way home

Bruh

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

National Championship Season...Clint Stoerner Arky fumble.

He’s talking about a call or non-call from a ref.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I'm gonna watch the first 48. Real blood.

We have to be better.

Every team just doesn't magically their 3s. It's on us between switching and closing out instead of doubling down in the paint.

Refs won't be able to cost us games if we actually play well.

We lost 14 pts at the FT line.
We missed layups and dunks.
We had a bunch of stupid fouls (not all on the refs - Grant fouling dude at the 3 point stripe to get his 4th was a terrible play by him).
We gave them an 18 point lead.
We got away from playing our game again. Defense creates offense and we love to play in transition. Where was that tonight?

It sucks that the refs screwed us.

But I want to be in the position that the refs have no chance to let it matter.

Yet I'm honestly not sure if they will allow it.

 

[Rishvol]

No one is talking about how it took longer than 5 seconds to get the ball inbounds either. I don't even think the red was counting.

 

[Orange Studs]

love this team. super thankful they gave us a really worthwhile distraction from football the past couple years.

Going to be so awesome when football catches up with Basketball and we just go from a good football team season to a good basketball team back to back.

I said what I said

YES, I was counting, should have been a turnover.

 

[volatil]

I said what I said

And we’re going to miss you around here

Yep...Crowd was trying to let him know.

But be sure they'll call some 3-second violations on Kyle even though he stepped out of the paint.

 

[Orange Studs]

Speaking of that do we have anyone on commitment watch? Slow cruitin’ season so far.

It has been slower than usual

 

[BigOrangeVols]

And we’re going to miss you around here

You get banned for that? Everyone was dancing around the line, I just drove a truck over it.

 

[zhangliao04]

I didn't watch OT since we came back after I stopped watching. Soooo we got hosed again?
