The Official #16 Tennessee @ #23 Arkansas Gam Thread, 4:00 PM ET, ESPN

[VolArmy74]

Charges should be reviewable. Only because they get it wrong sooo much

They need a challenge system like in the NBA or football.

 

[Namorto1]

I know it isn’t Barnes MO but I would be tempted to play a lot of zone in the 2nd half. It slows them down and they don’t shoot well.

 

[TrapVol]

That last one looked legit. The one before absolutely wasn’t.

Williams got there in time on the second one, but his right foot was still inside the cylinder. So technically, neither one of them was legit. We lost points, and our best point guard has three fouls. Two blown calls that have greatly impacted the game.

 

[golfballs]

James & Santi 0-4 & 1-7 and a game with more charges than my youngest daughter at the mall.
Fortunate just down by one

I agree. They’re also shooting poorly but they don’t shoot that great anyway. I think we shoot better in the second half and the fact we’ve been in a number of games like this I feel like we should be ok to pull this out

 

[chuckiepoo]

Don’t jump in the air, some ******* might slide underneath and the refs start salivating for the defense…

Salivating for some pork weenie…

 

[ButchPlz]

Whew.

Paging the people telling us not to complain about the refs.

 

[I4Vols]

Barnes need to get in he's face like Cal did today

At least on offense we are at the Vol end of court

 

[VolMarine1371]

Yeah… something is fishy

If it wasn’t already obvious, but that right there just confirms it that the refs was told to call it one way.

 

[patrick]

There should be some kind of arbitrator of officials at each game, they should make officials watch their missed calls during half time. After their third obviously bad miss of the half, they should lose a percentage of their game pay.

Better yet there should be actual accountability. They should have to face the media for questions about calls. And should be fined for bad calls and even suspended for continued subpar performance.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Just so frustrating. It’s hard to feel good about our chances in this game when the officials are taking away an entire dynamic by calling everything down low a foul on Tennessee.

You just got a text from Sankey the bammer

 

[orangejuice]

Whew.

Lol bro was literally running around out of bounds. How do the refs think he got that far out of bounds to hit it? He could literally have to be able to fly

 

[Rickyvol77]

Really disappointed in Powell this year. Thought he would be the money 3 pointer we would desperately need come tourney time

His defense is the issue

 

[orangejuice]

This game is hard to watch and support from a college basketball fan perspective. When officiating is this bad and nothing will be done it makes me not want to watch

 

[ButchPlz]

Watching this halftime and an asshat ref kicked someone out of the stands.

 

[golfballs]

Whew.

Holy ****

 

[VolArmy74]

Paging the people telling us not to complain about the refs.

Kentucky complains about the officials when they shoot 2x the free throws of the other team. We complain when all rules of basketball are out the window for the game.

 

[Big Orange#1]

Powell is absolutely useless. Why was he in the game this first half? Hopefully his arse will be on the bench for the second half

 

[Creeker]

Was it the older one? His ego seems as soft as charmin.

 

[BigSteve09]

Watching this halftime and an asshat ref kicked someone out of the stands.

The UConn thing?

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Chandler is going to have to not chance that drive now.

 

[VolMarine1371]

Lol bro was literally running around out of bounds. How do the refs think he got that far out of bounds to hit it? He could literally have to be able to fly

He took 3 steps out of bounds and it was right beside the ref lol.

 

[Col_Cathcart]

Don’t let the resident ref on here see this thread. According to him they are victims

Every time I see someone complaining about their profession getting too much flack about not doing their jobs well I think that they need to spend more time increasing the quality and less time bitching about people holding them accountable.

 

[VolGee4]

Whew.

Holy moly…that’s awful. What are we doing to this wonderful game? This product is awful, and the officiating is a big part of it.

Was it charge?
