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

[VolArmy74]

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

We are driving too, but not getting anything. Burns popped Santi with his tremendous gut on that drive earlier and sent him into the camera crew, nothing. ZZ got shoved from behind on a drive, he also landed on the camera row, nothing.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Didn’t realize that both JJJ and Vescovi now have 3 fouls each with 16 minutes still to go. These next 6 minutes of basketball are going to be stressful. Gotta survive this stretch.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

That's where Barnes needs to get a technical

And give them two freebies? Not a smart move in a tight game. The play for a head coach here is to give the officials some constructive feedback and get your team’s stuff together. A technical isn’t beneficial.

 

[RavinDave]

Your call is very important to him. Please hold.

If you’d like to schedule a call back please dial 1

Aidoo getting abused by a guy who cant jump 3 inches

 

[VolArmy74]

Awaka got fouled there. Nothing.

 

[tnvols72]

Get Aidoo out of there

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

I hate how the officials dictate the game. No consistency in how they call it whatsoever

 

[OrangeInKy]

Zion Williamson’s twin is hurting us

 

[TheMookieMonster]

DJ Burns is eating Aidoo’s lunch.

 

[BruisedOrange]

I long for the days of AI officials.

...who can simultaneously call the game while calculating how money is being wagered?

 

[OrangeInKy]

I die a little more inside every time offensive tackle DJ Burns scores on us

 

[Drewbydoo]

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

ACC refs call the lightest contact and hoops is a contact sport. That was my point and as GT fan that watched a lot of ACC hoops, it's not fun to watch or play when refs are like that.

 

[VolArmy74]

Finally called a reach in. That's 1 of 20 they've called tonight.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Gainey with a much needed 3

 

[TheMookieMonster]

They called an actual foul on NC State!

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Finally Gainey hits a 3

 

[GBO18]

There you go Gainey

 

[Voltopia]

What the hell is Morsell whining about? He got away with a few fouls before being called for one.

 

[OrangeInKy]

DJ Burns is eating Aidoo’s lunch.

And he will have his dessert too.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

ZZ came to play

 

[Christian Lowe]

Get gainey out of there

 

[Putbacks]

Ref called a foul and then went and asked the State player for his phone number

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

BS call on Awaka
