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

For real.

Really wish Barnes would just LAY INTO the refs every once in a while.

I don't care if he looks like Cal or Muschamp if it helps get our freaking well-deserved calls and gets us to the championship games.

He gets screwed so dang much and just puts up with it.

And we’re going to miss you around here

Will we?

 

[LA Vol]

What is it with UT and high drama? Jekyll and Hyde teams, getting way behind and having to make epic comebacks, blowing huge leads, rollercoaster highs and lows. Adrenaline junkies must find UT sports exhilarating.

UT getting hosed by refs is the most UT thing that could have happened.

Because God hates tennessee athletics.

Nah God doesn’t hate us but the NCAA sure does... and they play the roll of God in these parts

I saw hip contact from the one view they gave and immediately thought it wasn’t a bad call. I thought they should have swallowed the whistle but it did look like a foul. But then I saw this view... **** the refs.

That foul call was unmitigated b.s..

There was not even a gust of contact there.

I hold you personally responsible. I don't really have a good reason why, I just do.

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.

My brother-in-law was at the game, and he said he counted 6 seconds.

The true Tennessee way

But... I'm not even wearing stripes.

Wait! There's an entrepreneurial idea for someone to run with-- an orange and white ref shirt with some rude saying on the back.

Stuffs I pulled from tweets that sum up my thoughts right now. In first paragraph if one of those 4 things go our way we win. And totally agree with Lamonte

Ball goes out on Purdue shoe, Purdue ball. Throws it in AFTER 7 seconds, no call, player steps out of bounds, shoots 3 and gets a phantom foul. Trash after trash after trash after trash.

Lamonte Turner on the foul called on him late in regulation: I told the refs all game, ‘He’s kicking his legs out every time he shoots, so I can’t close him out. He can’t do that.' But he kept doing that, and he did it there, and they rewarded him for it. I don’t get it.

ld counted six at home

Michigan has a strong 16 points at HALFTIME

 

[volatil]

This game has 38-36 written all over it

 

[Rishvol]

I'm blaming buffalo wild wings.... And the refs

If we would have been Duke in that situation at the end, Zion could have picked Edward's up on that last shot and power bombed him into the 5th row and the refs wouldn't have called anything.

 

[JohnnyD1024]

Also I think the powers to be wanted Edward's to stay in the tournament.

Its LA Vol you don't need a reason.

 

[LA Vol]

Rick Barnes probably isn't going to say much about the officiating. He should. It's been a real problem and it isn't fair to the players who work hard and play the right way. Turner has a valid point, and it deserves to be heard and addressed. When bad officiating changes the games as much as it has the past month, the refs need to be held accountable.

Commentators would have orgasmed as it happened
