SEC Tournament Semifinals, Tennessee vs. Kentucky Official Game Thread

[VolNC2316]

I just think they look one step slower than normal.

Yeah, it's those stupid black shoes...It's an optical illusion...

That's really not that bad.....

When you have a shot at a 3 seed and an easier matchup, it somewhat is.

Apparently the Vols have an unlimited supply of blown layups in the arsenal.

 

[Mullet Vol]

I wasn't too concerned with the officiating until Cam got rolled over by Bledsoe. It became obvious then that we are playing the refs, too.

 

[catchavol]

We always seem to settle a play better after the half. We just need the Pearl halftime speech and we'll be back in it.

 

[BigPapaVol]

UT is out of gas.

How? Who has logged big minutes in our two turtle fest wins?

I'm going to throw this out there. At the end of the game, I believe the foul totals will be around: 21 for UT and 12 for UK. But at this point, that's usually the norm for Uk when they play another SEC rival. Somehow at the end of the game there's always a huge differential in the foul column

UK was the aggressor so they deserved more calls than UT, even if some of them were BS.

 

[TennTradition]

At least two of those TOs were no call foul induced. That's being generous.

Exactly. There have been some bad no calls.

 

[Derrick3]

Other than maybe the USC game, this is the worst I've seen UT play all year... sloppy and selfish basketball... could they look like the care any less out there?

 

[govols120]

Classic. Blame the refs.

Why not? Take your damn homer glasses off and recognize the fact that we're getting the **** beat out of us without many calls.

This.

I don't think they're that tired. But, they have been carrying extra weight in the game. Ya know, with UK on their backs.

rofl!

 

[VolBadger]

refs are bad but we're missing layups and not paying attention (no one on our team should EVER get swiped by cousins) no one looks like they want to win right now...we need to find someone who'll step up, but i don't see that happening

o and i hate cousins, he's the luckiest/thuggiest player that walks half the time he gets the ball and throws his bows the other half

 

[bam15]

Exactly. There have been some bad no calls.

More like horrendous, it's a travesty.

 

[BigPapaVol]

Classic. Blame the refs.

Is that like describing for us all of KY aggressiveness?

Classic. Blame the refs.

Please...we've had our opportunities...but what do you expect when we are getting hacked and tackled?

 

[Slydell]

I think, JMO, because of the style of play and the horrific officiating, this is a time bomb ticking right now. What's the over/under on technical fouls in the 2nd half?

 

[govols120]

Unless we cut this to about a five point game early in the second half, it's over.

Chism needs to step up and our guards need to start hitting shots, and glad to see hopson hyped up.

I'm putting it at two.

Kensucky b-ball players hit and tackle harder than their football team!

 

[Catbone]

You know... if there was an SEC team in Hawaii and was playing UK ( I know its not possible) and if the Tourny was held in Hawaii, UK fans would still buy out 95% of the tickets some how. Am I right or am I right?

 

[Lofton/Durant4 3]

That's a pathetic excuse for the fouls being called.

It's not pathetic. It's actually a pretty reasonable explanation.

 

[BigPapaVol]

They aren't pounding it. It's the open court shiz that is blatayly obvious, like Cousins walking when standing by himself.

It's easy to be aggressive defensively when they don't call a foul against you.
