The Official #12 Tennessee @ Auburn Game Thread, 2:00 PM ET, ESPN

[GBO18]

Going to have those turnovers with Vescovi. Key playing good today.

 

[Baulder]

WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?! Vescovi gets obviously tripped and no call then on the other end JJJ is standing still for a solid 1.5 seconds and gets call for blocking?!

 

[VolGee4]

Lol at these officials. They are so bad. That's not a block.

I don’t mind the call because that’s how it’s supposed to be call. But that’s a charge in every other game this year.

 

[Butch s]

This is really horrible officiating

 

[TrapVol]

Lol at these officials. They are so bad. That's not a block.

Just proof that officials get caught up in the emotions of the fans. I think subconsciously they love it when the crowd cheers after one of their calls.

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

Horrible call

 

[Caz]

These freaking refs are not giving us anything. Key made a shot with them hanging on his arms and they just assaulted Sant! Meanwhile, Pearls “princesses” get a whistle on every play

 

[Volstylexx]

Auburn getting all the help from zebras.

Lol at these officials. They are so bad. That's not a block.

We've seen it all year. Tough to win on the road. Home environments influence the refs by a good +5ppg.

It's a block but they have called that type play a charge all year.

 

[BreatheUT]

We need two PG's who are able to play next year in addition to ZZ. Also, a reliable big who can score.

 

[Putbacks]

Refs tuning in to Pearl Jam second half here….

 

[87&91ALUM]

Horrible officiating. Seems like officials follow the momentum of the crowd and they are calling everything for Auburn at this point.

It’s a charge.

Maybe a half second but you don’t have to be still. You just have to establish position.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

If JJJ hadn't been falling backwards already would've got the call there

He had established legal guarding position and did not move his feet. The shooter entered his cylinder. Bad call pure and simple. Have it on freeze action on my TV. No body lean in the rule book.

 

[connor]

Clearly was a charge

 

[cncchris33]

He averages more points and more rebounds than ZZ. Yes, his shooting percentage is lower but to say he isn’t good is just not an accurate statement.

And ZZ shoots better, averages more assists, and turns it over less. No one has said he isn't any good. But calling him a stud is gross hyperbole.

 

[ColinS]

It’s a charge.

Falling too soon

 

[joevols89]

Falling too soon

Doesn’t matter if he was falling unless they want to call a flop.

 

[chuckb1448]

That looked like Key

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

The refs have entered the realm of costing us the game if we only lose by 3-5 points.

 

[BreatheUT]

Going to have those turnovers with Vescovi. Key playing good today.

It appears that why. There's a lot of pressure to score as well.

 

[berryvol]

 

[cncchris33]

The fix sure seems like it's in. Just awful officiating. Auburn is beating all over us and
we get called for every touch foul.

 

[JRVOL11]

oh no please
