Game Thread: Lady Vols Vs Texas A&M, Thurs Jan 2nd ; Away game; 8 PM Eastern; SEC+ stream win 91-78

this is probably the worst officiated game i’ve seen and i’ve watched a lot of basketball.

Sounds pretty horrible. Rice talking about officials being out of position and wiping each others fouls off and calling something else

 

[Orange931]

Run the clock and leave College Station quickly.

 

[VolBall09]

Awful free throw shooting today

 

[RespectAPA]

I'm truly disappointed Kim hasn't played more of her bench. If for no other reason than to have some other players get some of the fouls called on them instead of the first 10.

This and her not calling timeouts to get tired, sluggish players off the court almost 3 minutes into a stint seem to be her two biggest game-management issues.

HYFT

 

[VolBall09]

This is truly only close due to horrendous officiating

 

[newladyvolfan]

You know what is funny!!! We played horrible and still almost scored 100

 

[Orange931]

91-78 Final. UGLY

 

[zaqhhh]

Lots to improve on but leading an SEC team wire to wire by 9+ on the road and scoring 90+ is still a big achievement

 

[therealitytheory]

I firmly believe the refs knew they blew a few calls early, and they got in their own heads thereafter.

Good win nonetheless. GBO!

 

[Vols2015]

It’s a win, but Coach Kim has a lot to take back now to get this team ready for the next couple games.

 

[VolBall09]

A&M is trash. What a painful game to watch. Was NEVER close. Only appeared that way due to absolutely abysmal officiating. Some of the worst I’ve ever witnessed and that’s saying something in the SEC.

 

[RespectAPA]

Hell of a bad-beat for those that took Tennessee -14.5.

Ruby looking around for help, but the only two Volunteers that were still playing were her and Spearman

91-78. Final. Coach Kim and Lady Vols with an SEC road win!

 

[VolBall09]

30 to 21 on fouls. That is insane. Officials had their fingerprints all over this one and we won in spite of them.

 

[JCP201]

Lady VOLS-- 1-0 in SEC!!

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Officiating seems to get worse every season and don't know how that's possible. Seen better at the Y.

 

[LVol]

Man such a messy game but we won and hopefully makes us better for the next one

 

[1reVOLver]

A wee dramatic.

 

[JCP201]

Yep. We all remember the dread when TK would get two early fouls.

and she'd sit for half the game.

 

[Coach Jumper]

I am out of town and working on my phone so I will update everything when I get back

 

[newladyvolfan]

Does Auburn coach get fire

 

[Lucy]

Good lord! Was there a record set for most fouls called? This game took 2 hours 15 min to play!!!!

 

[lvocd]

In a weird way, this game may actually help the Lady Vols. They persevered through truly incompetent officiating, on the road, and won. It is unlikely they'll ever experience anything quite that bad again, so no matter what happens in the future they'll always have in their subconscious that they can overcome that and still win.

 

[Ladyvol777]

Well we are 13-0. +. 1-0 in the SEC. hard to win on the road but we did. Got to love the effort of this team. Can always be better but it’s enough. As always go Lady Vol’s.
