The Official #7 Tennessee vs. #2 Purdue Game Thread, 8:00 PM ET, ESPN

[NO SIR EEE]

He didn’t even touch em, holy ****

 

[ChattownVFL]

TERRIBLE ****ING CALL WTF

 

[IndianapolisVol]

Awaka played his ass off tonight

 

[volsforever27]

No consistency in these calls.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Here’s the annoying thing. Purdue is being every bit as physical as us, if not more so, but the narrative in this game win or lose for us will be how “dirty” we are and how Purdue was getting hosed by officials all game long.

Bilas set the narrative about TN last March. Now all the games will be officiated based on that narrative.

Didn't see a foul

 

[Tenacjim]

Taking two shoulders to the chest is a foul?

 

[BreatheUT]

That was not a foul on Awaka. The guy was bodying Awaka. He was holding his ground.

 

[Rockytoprowdy]

How does a ref at half court make that call in the post? When Awaka is playing behind the guy…

 

[ndubvols]

Refs lost control of this game awhile ago

 

[Specs]

I've never understood post play. You can sumo a guy and its a foul on the defender if he holds his ground

 

[Prayivm3rcy]

Seriously though how was that a foul?

 

[TheBigOne10]

All you clowns defending the refs are looking pretty f’n stupid right now.

Who’s defending the damn refs?!?!

 

[Kicker82]

That was not a foul

 

[The Tall Gguy]

What I hate is there will be no consequences for these officials. No accountability. Garbage foul call on Awaka and MANY others.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

This is horse shizzzzz. How’s Awaka get a foul for taking a dropped shoulder in his sternum?

 

[sportsnut624]

until college basketball goes to quarters and 6 fouls you are going to continue to get ruined games like this. Why this hasn’t happened yet is beyond me

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Dude backed into him twice and he gets called

 

[LucidZ]

FOUL BAD!

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Am I the only one that has flashbacks to the Sweet 16 game, whenever Ethan Morton checks in? He is a straight ringer to Ryan Cline.

 

[cwbytruckers]

Win or lose no one will want to play this team come tournament time.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

College basketball refs will not be outdone by college football refs.

 

[zaqhhh]

Knecht needs to wake up these last few minutes.

As good as he is, he’s played pretty awful aside from the first few mins

 

[ColinS]

As physical as this game is and 60% of the fouls are phantom

 

[JCP201]

Awaka about broke his ankle and playing like a wild man today.
