The Official #6 [2] Tennessee vs. #3 [1] Purdue Game Thread, 2:20 PM ET, ESPN

[Dergibvol]

Going to have to flop to get any calls. Loved the awful call on ZZ on loyer tom whistle after edey puts it in and then waives it off and says foul on floor on ZZ.

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

The fix is in boys. No 3 seconds on Edey, no fouls on Edey, no walks on Edey, no clear out fouls on him or over the back.

This is the NCAA sticking it to TN.

 

[whodeycin85]

This is not it.

Can't win a fight in the mud without getting dirty...they wanna foul then we foul back harder

 

[utvolpj]

I knew it! We start piling on Rick Barnes. Never fails

Only people doing it are pathetic fans

 

[Steelcurtain]

If Edey touches the ball they call a foul on us. I would foul him and make it count. Not saying take him out but there would be no doubt he was fouled. Beyond ridiculous the bias he gets.

 

[Frank Duncan]

This is not it.

yes it is

 

[TC 83]

JJJ hasn't missed a shot all day. Why are we not trying to get him some looks

Bump

 

[vavolfan6]

Is it really a good thing for college basketball for a 7-4 guy to win a championship against a 7-2 guy at UConn? Why even watch basketball if you don't have a 7 ft+ guy?

 

[BreatheUT]

James has to go back to taking his man off the bounce.

 

[deezvols]

The refs aren’t why Ziegler is 2-10

the point made in this post also proves why this post is dumb

 

[EasternVol]

He's trash. Are you actually watching this game or reading the comments? He's a total liability and can't play at this level

First time watching basketball?

 

[Cartervol]

They're calling this game one sided. We're also killing ourselves..

 

[kcvols1]

The refs are obviously calling too much BS on Tennessee, but we have to make shots and free throws and at least try to rebound.

They gotta even this shat out. It’s deplorable.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

At some point Rick is gonna HAVE to get a technical. Screw these refs

Time has passed to do that imo. We’re at a very fragile point in the game where this thing could get away from us. Can’t give them any cheap points.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

If this is the best crew to be working the Elite 8 the entire org needs to be investigated for fixing games. Total sh1t show of officiating. I can see a missed call or two but jesus christ himself would never get the lee way this mfer is getting for Purdue

You think they care that it's obvious lol

 

[BleedOrange81]

Refs taking over..

 

[vol94]

If you have ever wondered why Rick Barnes is a Sweet 16 coach, he’s shown you since he was up by 11 in this game

Stop! What an irrational post! Not many teams can beat Purdue. Every player who has seen the floor for both teams has had a foul caled with Edey as the exception. TN has played with heart and Barnes outcoached Texas and Creighton.

ZZ has made some poor decisions with two early three balls- one in each half. But we are in foul trouble and Aidoo is soft. That’s not on Barnes.

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

Out rebounded 35-19 right now

 

[heath.hinkle]

If they aren't going to call a foul on Edey it's time for him to receive a very serious foul

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Like I said the past 24 hours or so, officials were never going to let us win. We aren’t shooting the ball well, but Edey is traveling and fouling has been called for nothing.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

We just have no answer for Edey. It's a shame.

 

[#1volsfan]

Need to bring back the rule no blood no foul. If we gonna foul ticky tack make them feel it at least.

 

[VFL1127]

James is gonna have to step up and fill the void on offense. It's time to leave it all on the floor.

 

[tbones0711]

zeigler is shooting way too much and not hitting. we have james, gainey, and awaka making baskets. zeiglers missed two free throws on the front end. he needs to pass the ball off to another shooter. i don't know why he doesn't see this or barnes. is he trying to be hero? costing us this game imo.

 

[Rocky Top T]

Without DK, they beat us by at least 30
