Buddy at the game texted and said Barnes got another technical on way to locker room at half? Hopefully he’s wrong.

If so he gone...

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

Surely not, he knows better.

Boy I would hope so...

 

[RAVOL]

This half we need to Iso Faulk and Pons on block. That is are mismatch as well as Guardia. Get them in early foul trouble win the game 70 - 60. In CHRIST Alone

At the game and it was a complete BS call. Barnes was arguing with the ref just past our huddle at our end of the court. The ref that called the T was under the opposite basket, at least 45 ft away and not even hearing what was said. Walked toward mid-court and called the T. Limited crowd lost their minds then.

Thanks. I was wondering why Barnes looked away from the official he was talking to when the crowd responded.

If these refs leave Knox Co without having to go to the hospital first, then shame on every Vol in Knox Co.

Springer doubtful to return tonight, according to Bob. Lower leg injury.

It didn't look good, didn't seem like he twisted it but injured it regardless. Normally that's a sign of an achilles injury. Hope that's not the case.

[ColinS]

JJJ with his typical disappearing act. No points in the first half. We need him to step up in this half.

 

[brubaker]

Alabama always gives us a tough game.. Hopefully we come out if the half a different team.

Calm down there tiger.

 

[chuckiepoo]

Then he’s ejected.

That would suck...

I agree. Getting these guys good looks around the basket would be huge. So far, Bama is crashing the paint. So we'll have to really spread the floor to make this happen.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Don't understand what happened with Barnes and the T and is Springer okay? These announcers aren't very informative.

They aren't at the game so they know just as much as we do.

 

[chef3531]

Pons and Springer will make a difference 2nd half.

Springer is out

 

[Bigorange123]

Barnes has been on the rules committee, which only has like 3-4 D1 coaches. He should get respect.

This. I’ve been a fan of Barnes since 2007. He gets respect. Money talks tho?

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

OMG

 

[aWhiteLoftonChism]

Springer is apparently done for the game with a lower leg injury.

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

Just complete ridiculousness

 

[peerless98]

Such BS

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

3 fouls on Pons says it all

 

[ndubvols]

I thought it was going to be the red that walked away from under the basket? How the hell did that guy call it, unless the other guy signaled to.

 

[tnvols72]

BS

 

[Bigorange123]

Bullship

 

[peerless98]

Refs are going to do everything in their power to help

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

7 fouls all season and 3 in this game.

Pitiful
