The Official #5 Tennessee vs. #6 Alabama Game Thread, 4:00 PM ET, ESPN

[YankeeVol]

I wasn’t even alive and I pine for the days of Phil Jackson having an Armani sponsorship. Coaches should look like the coaches. Make them sharp again.

Wear crocs. IDGAF, just win lol

 

[Lankykong]

The refs are so bad but have been worse against us. Worst reffed game of the year for us already.

Calling everything minor but missing major reach ins and some of these jumpshot fouls have had minimal or no contact

 

[YankeeVol]

IMO wear the uniform like in baseball

That would be hilarious

 

[wmcovol]

Gotta stop the live ball turnovers.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Not a bad start with the foul trouble we are in. Keep swimming until we get ZZ back.

No but the continued sloppiness with the ball concerns me. We keep being careless

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

This is TOTAL BS. The refs calling a foul on just about every shot.! I guess we are here to watch the refs. At least these azzwhipes think so!

This is exactly how it will be called come tournament time. We are going to have to adjust!

 

[Volfan2012]

Blowing that whistle got a chance if we have any players left.

 

[Caz]

Not a nega here, but why do we come out most games and play so freaking poorly?

 

[Lankykong]

Is TBA a sell out for this game? Doesn't' sound very loud on TV

There’s a break in the action every 20 seconds

 

[VOLinAL]

Bet they swallow the whistle next half.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Sigh

 

[RAVOL]

7 turnovers by tennessee so far. In 8 minutes

And 8 fouls. We don't have the bench they have. But hanging in because that is what TN does . In CHRIST Alone

 

[orangemadam]

You guys blaming refs are wacko. Both teams playing reckless. Ugly, not the refs that are hacking and bumping

 

[vol24/7/365]

They are playing to hard!

 

[SGMVols]

7 turnovers by tennessee so far. In 8 minutes

But we’re ahead in a game where everything that’s happened so far would lead you to believe we were down double digits.

 

[vavolfan6]

Its a shame that a game that has so much meaning on the line is going to be a foul fest and free throw shooting contest..

 

[walkenvol]

We don't have the depth for these refs. Ugly

Crazy thing is the officiating is as likely to take a 180 degree turn

 

[Lankykong]

Gotta stop the live ball turnovers.

A few were crazy reaches where there was a hug before the ball popped loose. Revent turnovers definitely were just bad though

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Not a nega here, but why do we come out most games and play so freaking poorly?

All things considered not a terrible start.
Wish ZZ hadn't picked up a quick 2 but we are at least responding

 

[chuckb1448]

I have never enjoyed losing.. Who has honestly: but when REFS effect a game I know I've lost 6 Months of my life due to Blood Pressure concerns. Something HAS to be done about the Zebras

 

[zeppelin128]

I freaking hate Bama.

 

[Caz]

They are playing to hard!

I’m not sure what it is

 

[vol94]

I’m concerned Bama’s athleticism going get us into foul trouble. We can’t stay in front of their guards. Hopefully we can steal minutes from Dubar. I don’t know if Boswell can have success against Bama’s guards.

 

[RAVOL]

Now that is a foul

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Seriously? 15 fouls called in less than 9 minutes?
