lol at the refs this quarter. the blonde ref would not be allowed back in TBA. she’s so so bad. any chance she gets, she’s calling a foul on us with some excitement.

 

[utVolFanInVA]

Their coaches for sure telling them to sell it. I absolutely despise when official reward that.

Agree, MTSU overreacting on every contact and refs calling it

 

[Voluble2]

No replay on the Puckett phantom foul. But the crowd obviously saw the replay and didn't like it.

 

[RAVOL]

Don't need to get "handsy" with aggressive pressure just need to move your feet and get in better position to force decisions by ballhandlers.

Learning situation. Can't get a steal every time. Move your puppies

 

[chuckiepoo]

The officiating has made this painful to watch. Only reason MTSU is still in it.

I can easily see it being this bad all year.

 

[VolBall09]

Blonde ref is awful

I hope to God she isn’t in the SEC now. She was the worst official in the PAC-12 by a mile. Almost every coach had personal beef with her and a couple got in trouble for commenting about it in pressers. She is pathetically bad.

Standards are pretty low for women’s refs

Does not look like we are maintaining pace in all phases. Our press in most instances looks like just token pressure and not really aggressive like I would expect.

Agreed. I wish we had footage of UNC, because I would bet money that the energy and pace from the team today is 120% of what we're seeing today. They're playing like they're worn out, which they might be given what's been said about how the team practices. Cardio on steriods.

Since the Tech on son fouls have been one sided. It worked.

That's being kind to the blonde ref.

I don’t know what this even means.. this team forces more 10 second violations, steals, turnovers than any LV team in several years.

Are they consistent? No. But what team would be with several newcomers, a new head coach, and entire new coaching staff?

I’ll say right now this team is playing at about 70% of its full potential which is as good as they could hope for.

 

[volfan__18]

u gotta be joking???

 

[VolBall09]

Can’t let this officiating get in their head now. Just is what it is. It’s horrendous though.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

My thing is if we’ve actually fouled 25, then they have committed more than 13.

Consistency is all I want from officiating

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Some of these fouls are just dumb one by LV's.

 

[UT Challenger]

We really need Spear to score.

 

[Voluble2]

The crowd needs to ride the refs harder.

Not tonight. They aren't the same team that played UNC and Carson-Newman tonight. That version of the team would already have 100 and chasing 20 steals, if not already there.

 

[VolBall09]

That one was DEEP from Tess

 

[adam.vol]

MTSU’s center is good. Seems to be playing by herself though.

Raining 3s

Not great. But when you’re a foot taller than everyone else…..

The entire Lady Vols team would be fouled out if they did not tone it down a little. They'd be pulling fans out of stands to play. The refs came to blow that whistle.

That blonde has it in for us. Terribly obvious.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Good to see Boyd back in.
