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

[TrapVol]

I've seen badly reffed games before, but not until now did I ever seriously entertain that the refs might be trying to fix a game. This is so bad.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I’m sorry, call me a negative Nancy all you want but I’ve seen enough. If that is a foul these officials are not going to let us win this game. This one is over.

Most likely you are correct.

 

[ttocswob]

Second verse, same as the first… crazy disparity in fouls

 

[KB5252]

Barnes needs to stand up for his players.... He's letting the refs screw his guys.

 

[MattR11]

These bull sh calls have to stop

 

[cjbongoinstructor]

I’ve watched basketball my entire life and today is the first day I found out you could be called for a foul for boxing out when someone jumps over your back. Every other time in history I’ve seen it called as an over the back call

 

[AthensVol2007]

Larsen just pushed in the back to get the long rebound, no call.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Refs are terrible

 

[JRVOL11]

doesn’t help they getting every board

 

[vavolfan6]

We need to aggressively attack the paint. Refscalling every little touch. Force Arizona's bigs to get fouls since all of ours are in foul trouble.

 

[cwbytruckers]

How is Phillips a 5 star? You breathe on him he hits the floor.

 

[OrangeInKy]

Believe it or not, I have two fouls in this game.

This!

 

[VolArmy74]

I try and never believe college basketball is fixed these days, now Rupp in the 60s and 70s, definitely paid off refs, but I thought those days were gone. There is no other explanation for tonight's massive imbalance. We are both playing the same style and doing the same things but we are getting called for twice as many fouls.

 

[JRVOL11]

last time we got a stop??

 

[DC_Vol]

let’s work on fouling out Bollo.

 

[kell7517]

It’s not like we foul
A lot. They stated in the first half. Tennessee has made more free throws than the opposing teams have attempted. And then this…

 

[GBO18]

Rebound dudes.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

Is Barnes going to say anything?? How is he not in these refs grills right now.

 

[OrangeInKy]

Vols get more Whistles than Christie Brinkley walking past a construction site in 1984

 

[LucidZ]

Yeah, hard to watch really. One of the more obvious games where refs are playing favorites.

 

[KB5252]

As one sided as the refs have called this one we should be down by 10 plus.

 

[AthensVol2007]

Believe it or not, I have two fouls in this game.

 

[sportsnut624]

The fact that we are only down five is astounding. This should be blowout city for zona

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

Dykes, those things happen!! What a piece of ****!!
