NCAA Tournament Thread

[zjcvols]

Auburn was fouling more because that's just how they decided to play. Very physical, fighting hard for position. But down the stretch and in overtime there were some pretty blatant calls going against UK.

Didnt lose because refs, but they weren't doing us any favors like they did Duke and Purdue.

LMAO whatever helps you sleep at night.

 

[zjcvols]

Imagine being a UK fan and thinking the refs were out to get you against...Auburn lmao

Washington wasn’t even behind Harper. He was to the side and Harper went into him. That should’ve been a no call and so should that rebound where Harper fell to the ground. He’s good at baiting officials into foul calls. Good win though, especially without Okeke.

He is like the reverse Lebron. So small that the even light contact sends him flying. If big players got bumped the same way it's a no call because they dont fly to the ground.

 

[JMSqb11]

What the hell are you talking about?

You don’t know me..

Not every Vol fan is going to sit there and be forced to praise Pearl like we owe him something. We don’t know owe him a damn thing.

He made his bed and screwed himself over, that’s all there’s is to it.

But go ahead with the personal attacks, you’re a “real man” after all.

So Bruce had a direct impact in your life outside of you just being a fan of the program? No one is personally attacking anyone but you with your spewed hatred for someone who is in the coaching profession.

It’s one thing to hold a grudge against someone who had a direct impact against you. It’s another to spew hatred vs someone who coaches a sports team.

Such a big guy you are.

I guarantee you that is what is going on throughout the Bluegrass state.

Glad Z is enjoying the schadenfreude. Part of sports. If it makes you feel better to think I'm blaming it all the refs then go ahead I guess.

I can live with the loss and can give Auburn credit. It was an ugly, but good game.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Nope. I respect what he did for the program but not going to change the fact he’s a liar who sh*tted on us.

Defend it however you want it though, nothing ever gets through your brain.

It's not like UT was a bastion of basketball greatness before he got here. Why didn't the powers that be at UT accept whatever the punishment would have been and keep him on staff. That's what I would have done. He put us on the map.

I hope he wins it all. He shouldn't have been punished as severely as he was for the mistake he made.

Go Auburn!

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

How much of a small person are you for holding a grudge on someone who you don’t know and had zero impact on your life?

Truly amazing.

Been to the football forum since Butch left?

Apparently you’re unsure how sports work.

There’s hatred all the time in college basketball whether it’s a particular coach or player.

That’s part of being a fan.

I didn’t mention not once about Pearl impacting my life cause that’s utterly stupid to begin with. And my argument about the whole lying to Mike Hamilton and the NCAA thing has nothing to do with me but it did have something to do with Tennessee. You know, the team I pull for?

Quit trying to spin it like he has an effect on my personal life. This is sports and I’ll be damned if somebody tries to tell me I’m not a true fan just because I didn’t pull for Auburn today.

 

[JMSqb11]

OF course. I don’t care for Butch either but I’m not going to get on some lifetime soapbox to bash the guy either like others are doing.

No, you’re not a true fan because you cheer for UK..... the opposing coach has zero to do with it.

Funny how you always go back to Bruce and Auburn to defend your cheering on UT’s main rival.

 

[LittleCat]

LMAO whatever helps you sleep at night.

Eh, I didnt even watch part of the early season. Didnt care for the team, didnt think it was going to be good. But I got into it after a while and was glad we got as far as we did.

So yes...I can sleep at night. Just a game. We should be better next year, provided people dont transfer and Herro doesnt leave.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

ummmm that was my point. The hatred for Butch over there borders on psychotic, and as you said he had no effect on anyone's life other than as a FANatic.

 

[WarDamnVols]

War Damn Final Four!!!

Honestly can’t believe we’ve made it this far. Especially after the first round near disaster. Especially without Okeke today. Just insane.

Was relying way more on Tennessee this year, but I’ll take this lol

 

[Matt2496]

Go Pearl!

Hope Auburn wins it all.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

I enjoy watching Texas Tech play.

Hope they win it all.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

So glad UTAD had the foresight to hire Regular Season Rick over bringing back Bruce when we had the chance.

Yeah but to get beat by Auburn and them not even having their best player.

How over rated were you guy?

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Go Sparty!

Pearl took the Auburn job before Cuonzo left and we hired Donnie Tyndal.

Overrated? We made the Elite 8 and lost to a team that has gotten really hot. Same as UT. Sometimes it isn't your day.

Coach Cal is packing up and heading to UCLA this week.

Just like the Beverly Hillbillies

A little schadenfreude never hurt...all good.
