The Official #6 Tennessee @ #9 Arizona Game Thread, 10:30 PM ET, ESPN2

[VolDorado]

“Don’t get a better crew than this” lol the crew that called the youth club game I coached today was better than this

I heard that and had basically the same response

 

[DC_Vol]

I’m loving going into the half tied with these guys on their court.

 

[7maxims]

Great pass Jonas!

 

[patrick]

Dykes sucks…It’s always clear he likes Barnes but constantly throws out underhanded comments about UT.

Dykes sucks.

 

[The Dog]

Beautiful pass by the . I wanted a lead, but 20 minutes to go, 0-0, I'll take it

 

[Creeker]

We’re somehow supposed to believe Arizona played that entire 20 minute half that started and stayed physical, without committing a single shooting foul.

 

[Larkin]

Certainly feels that way.

I mean, we did get a super friendly whistle last year
hard to complain in retrospect but dang

 

[TrapVol]

Considering how bad we got hosed, I suppose I should be glad we are tied. I feel like we should be up 10 though.

 

[BP4Prez]

Amazing that we didn’t take a single free throw

 

[UTFanForLife]

I’m not sure on the rule, but how are the flashing lights allowed in the crowd after the game has started?

 

[VolArmy74]

In any game this year where we got to shoot fts in the first half, the whistle reversed in the second. Hopefully that happens in our favor this game. I suspect it won't.

 

[Memphisvol87]

To be tied is impressive. They have scored 12 from the line. Great defense

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

Zona ain't that good

Yep. Essentially it’s just the opposite of what happened last year

 

[GAVol]

Jimmy Dykes talks about “the nail” as if it’s the Ark of the Covenant.

 

[OrangeInKy]

They (the announcers) just said this is the “best” officiating crew…..yeah, if you’re AZ!

That's fine. If they said that, let them look stupid. It's liberating to not hear it.

 

[zaqhhh]

One of the best played halves of the season for us.

All but negated by refs sadly.

But major props to our guys. This team looks championship caliber (the refs look boys and girls club under 5 league ready)

 

[cjbongoinstructor]

We need Plavy to calm down and play smart, he's the only one who has the size/is physical enough to D up Ballo

 

[casetopia]

Outscored 11 to 0 at the free throw line and it's tied. Suck it refs.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I’ll take a tie at the half considering the circumstances and the environment.

 

[TennTom]

I’m loving going into the half tied with these guys on their court.

And playing 8 on 5

 

[Creeker]

I’m not sure on the rule, but how are the flashing lights allowed in the crowd after the game has started?

Was wondering the same, not sure I’ve ever seen the before. Maybe it’s not that uncommon and I’ve just never paid attention.

 

[Freak]

Getting outrebounded 20-14. Need to fix that in the second half.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Not a bad first half all things considered, but man my whole “I’m not going to get worked up and I’m just going to enjoy the game” thing I said is becoming increasingly difficult to manage.

0 first half free throws for us???? BS.

 

[Switch 625]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team not attempt a single FT in a half.
