The Official #19 Tennessee @ Mississippi State Game Thread, 9:00 PM ET, ESPN 2

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Utterly ridiculous for that not to be a foul. Give Mississippi State credit for stepping up their defense after our hot start, but the refs can be credited just as much for this being as close as it is.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

MSU with six fouls that half. Anyways, here are some highlights from women's basketball.

This officiating is fishy $$$$

 

[ClasslessVol]

These refs are awful. We can’t touch MSU in the paint without it being a foul and MSU can shove KC and no call

 

[peerless98]

That’s what’s hilarious on them calling it on us

Exactly.

 

[orangejuice]

Ok that’s is one of the most one sided refereeing I’ve seen all season? That was horrendous

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Has Kennedy hit a layup all year

No. Not one.

 

[VolPack22]

Piss poor officiating. Chandler should be at the line shooting 3 free throws right now.

 

[golfballs]

Sec wants State to get a good win for their resume.

Want to help MSU get in the tourney

 

[cncchris33]

This officiating is embarrassing. Homecooking at its finest. We get whistled for a half dozen touch folks and a 3-second call, and they let that final play be a no-call. Just wow.

 

[kiddiedoc]

That's a foul on the three all day in every basketball game. What a terrible no call.

 

[tnvols72]

That was pathetic. These refs are swallowing those whistles on Tn end

 

[RAVOL]

League office has spoken. State needs this win. In CHRIST Alone

 

[GBO18]

Two thoughts:

1) It's a Christmas miracle to be leading at half.

2) Kennedy should be benched the rest of the game for how he played that final possession. So freaking stupid to try and draw that foul. He was never going to get that call. Take a real shot.

Huh? The defender did not stay vertical. Should have been 3 free throws unless the rules have changed.

Shut up. He should have had 3 fouls shots in any game called fair

I believe that’s a real thing. Greedy conference.

 

[Kicker82]

These refs have money on state. What a joke of a half.

 

[Volstylexx]

Lol SEC officiating at its best again tonight.

Maybe Slive should quit worrying about court storming and get some competent officials.

UMMM. bro... Slive has been dead for a few years...

 

[BP4Prez]

Just rewind The three second call. Literally probably the worst 3 second calm I’ve ever seen. Left the lane twice before the whistle.

 

[Namorto1]

Despite another extended lapse offensively we still have the lead. I’m good with that on the road. We are better than Miss. St if we play right. I like our full court trapping press. Wouldn’t mind a zone in half court either. There aren’t many perimeter shooters on State’s team that concerns me.

 

[Prayivm3rcy]

Rewatched that to see if the defender went straight up and nope. Dude lunged towards Chandler. Terrible missed call

How do we have fans like this KC is literally the biggest reason we are leading at half

 

[patrick]

F those officials. Light the SEC and SEC OFFICIATING up on twitter

 

[BP4Prez]

UMMM. bro... Slive has been dead for a few years...

Lol guess that’s why he hasn’t done it then. Sankey, whatever his name is.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Shut up. He should have had 3 fouls shots in any game called fair

He was never going to get that call. Officials haven't been calling the "jump-into-defender" foul hardly at all this year. JJJ mugged a guy in the Florida game and he didn't get called. I'd rather Kennedy try and get a clean shot that leave it in the hands of the officials.
