The Official #12 Tennessee vs. North Carolina State Game Thread, 10:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[Cdywolfe]

Jesus… College officiating is trash.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Barnes please stand up for your guys

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

5 fouls in a row called on Vols, that Santi foul was BS

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Well, right as we get a nice 9-point lead we piss down our leg and let NC State right back in it. Just going to be one of those nail biters.

 

[Vtonerider]

Vegas has entered the chat

 

[WhenUrVolUrVFL]

Stop fouling.

Get your eyes checked.

 

[ColinS]

The crap officiating has commenced

I was ok with it in the first half. Should have known we couldn't get two competent halves.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

That's where Barnes needs to get a technical

 

[Namorto1]

NC State is playing more aggressive than us and driving to basket. Getting benefit of some calls.

 

[Cdywolfe]

wow, that was kind of ticky tack foul.

I feel like calling it a ticky tack foul would mean it technically was a foul. It wasn’t.

 

[ttocswob]

Barnes please stand up for your guys

He did…

 

[Voltopia]

"Mr. Automatic around the rim." Wait, 3-7 is automatic?

 

[VolArmy74]

I long for the days of AI officials.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Paging Dalton Knecht. Paging Dalton Knecht. You are needed on the floor. Let us know when you feel like playing.

 

[OrangeInKy]

Barnes please stand up for your guys

I thought he did. He didn’t get a tech but he was fighting the call and calling for a review. It’s something, at least.

 

[Frozevol]

Aidoo tipping instead of rebounding.

 

[VolGee4]

One of these refs did our Purdue game.

 

[OrangeInKy]

Paging Dalton Knecht. Paging Dalton Knecht. You are needed on the floor. Let us know when you feel like playing.

Your call is very important to him. Please hold.

 

[Christian Lowe]

That's where Barnes needs to get a technical

Why? To spot them 2 free points for no reason?

 

[Voltopia]

And just like that, Vescovi and James have 3 fouls each. Pretty darn convenient.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Getting beat off the dribble every nearly every possession and the refs are giving NC State a very friendly whistle. Not a good formula for success. Setting up to be one of those kind of games where we will need some shot making to survive.

 

[VolGee4]

NC State is playing more aggressive than us and driving to basket. Getting benefit of some calls.

We are driving the basket too.

 

[ukvols]

Barnes please stand up for your guys

I’m behind the score tables. Barnes has been audibly on the refs the past few plays.

 

[RAVOL]

Alright settle down Vols. These next 4mns let's get after them and make shots. In CHRIST Alone

 

[Putbacks]

I long for the days of AI officials.

For now, we have to settle for A-Hole officials
