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

Some of you all really need to be madder about the team missing 14 of 17 shots the last 12 minutes of the half than the refs.

Well, that sucks too. But they both can.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

That 3 second call was egregious. I still don't even know who it was called on.

 

[walkenvol]

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.

Pippen gets 4-5 every game

 

[jbr82]

It’s either a foul or no call but please, consistency throughout the NCAA! One game it’s a foul then the next game it’s not. Make up your mind. But last I checked, a foul is called when two players collide when one is shooting a shot.

If this same thing happens again in the 2nd half with State this time and the refs call foul and it cost us the game, then chairs need to be tossed out on the floor. These refs get away with crap without having to answer. Disgraceful!

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Why wouldn't he? It's been called on us twice in four games.

Bench the guy with 9 points, 3 rebs, 2 stls, and 1 asst??? Emotional much?

Okay, obviously my phrasing was not acceptable. I realize that now. Yeah, in the moment I was pretty pissed that he didn't try and drive the lane and instead tried to draw a foul, but I don't actually think he needs to be benched. I should think before I post, but I was mad.

State 10-13 from FT
VOLS 3-4

That has to change 2nd half or this is going to be tough.

And the announcers bitched about that for 30 minutes. That was a bad call and JJJ should have been called. Has nothing to do with this ridiculousness.

 

[Mr French]

There's a Fix on this game and after the 2 second and non 3pt foul nobody can change my mind. This is Vegas and officials that should be legally liable for fraud, embezzlement, and theft. They move more money than some Hedgefunds through the course of season. Disgraceful.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

No. The best rim finishing guard we’ve probably ever had at UT has in fact, not hit a layup all year.

Why was Jordan Bone so slow?

 

[wmcovol]

Whoever is in BHH’s ear needs to shut up. He’s no where near pro level and needs to get a lot tougher. Hell, he isn’t close to SEC ready yet.

 

[Mr French]

State 10-13 from FT
VOLS 3-4

They aren't calling a MSU defender jumping into Chandler. What more can they do to get a whistle?

 

[jbr82]

Yep. Need to set screens and have cutters to the basket imo

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

State 10-13 from FT
VOLS 3-4

Hopefully it's in the cards for this officiating crew to allow us to hit the bonus in the 2nd half.

 

[GBO18]

If we foul less we should be fine. Unless the offense completely disappears.

 

[ukvols]

That 3 second call was egregious. I still don't even know who it was called on.

Three seconds was called on BHH.

 

[whobethis16]

Well, that sucks too. But they both can.

You wouldn't know it's both by the ratio of complaints about the refs vs the shooting. Hit 3 more and it's an 8-10 point game.

Halftime entertainment,
"I ain't afraid of no rolli coaster!"
... I spent last week in Orlando.

 

[Voltime123]

Three seconds was called on BHH.

That’s the thing he wasn’t even there for 3 seconds that was way too fast of a count

 

[omghulkhands]

Why was Jordan Bone so slow?

Did you know Vescovi misses over HALF of his 3 -pointers? What a bum

 

[cncchris33]

Okay, obviously my phrasing was not acceptable. I realize that now. Yeah, in the moment I was pretty pissed that he didn't try and drive the lane and instead tried to draw a foul, but I don't actually think he needs to be benched. I should think before I post, but I was mad.

Not the greatest play, obviously. That I agree with. But it was a foul 10 times out of 10.

 

[VolPack22]

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

I saw him get out of the lane live. The quality of refereeing is out of hand. I know basketball is one of the hardest games to officiate, but that more or less pertains to block/charge type calls. 3 second calls like that are “look at me” calls. I seriously cannot wait for the day all sports have robo refs.

 

[The Dog]

If KC had 3 more inches and a little more hops, he would be Ja Morant. But, he's doesn't, so he needs to excel at the 3

 

[I4Vols]

Don't see many non Vol SEC games, but my guess is the officiating is questionable way too often
Sankey and his silent Head Official better be careful as gambling could get strongly associated with poor quality and lack of head office communication to the press and fans.
Could any game be rigged? Don't be naive with so many and so much $EC

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

It's called hyperbole chill. I don't actually think he should be benched the rest of the game. It was just a dumb decision to leave the final shot in the hands of the officials. That hasn't been called practically all year.

I have a friend who died of hyperbole chill.
