The Official #7 Tennessee vs. Alabama Game Thread, 6:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[peerless98]

Maybe we can get them in foul trouble and even things up

 

[The Dog]

Well, we are getting the calls, now

 

[Larkin]

Awful officiating

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Why is it that college basketball officials are determined to turn games into an ugly slopfest and to call every single form of contact a foul?

It makes for a poor product.

 

[Voltopia]

On our own stupid home court. What a crock. What a bunch of amateur Bama loving hacks.

 

[VolArmy74]

Meaningless make up calls when you bench our best defensive player.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Good lord HIT YOUR FTs.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

+ Springer is out...crap

Bob and Bert say he's in the tunnel getting treatment and may come back.

 

[VolforFootball]

Haven't we been very proficient at the Free Throw line the past couple of years? Why is this year different?

 

[knoxchief]

Why did Barnes get a technical?

 

[ButchPlz]

Gotta give Alabama’s coaches credit—great scheme

Right, slip the refs a couple grand ahead of time. Wonderful scheme.

 

[GeneralsHuntBears]

No you wouldn’t.

I didn’t say I would like it, but I absolutely would rather beat Alabama. Living on the state line does that to you. Those jerks have enough. Kentucky is bad this year, but I expect to lose our fair share to them. Alabama has been mediocre for a while. They’re already getting cocky and seem to think Oatmeal is going to take them to the promised land. A loss to them would be unbearable.

 

[rocketskates]

Alabama always gives us fits

 

[hUTch2002]

That in no way makes up for that foul on Pons

 

[A-RodWiLks]

SEC has always had the worst refs in the ncaa

 

[CAVPUT]

It's bama. UT just seems to get in a funk when they see bama on the schedule no matter the sport.

 

[VolforFootball]

Great play by the Rhino!

 

[vols 30]

Have killed us driving to the basket. No Pons

 

[87&91ALUM]

Time to get physical.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Springer out with an injury. Bummer.

Yes, Indeed it is.

 

[Bigorange123]

Sick!

 

[VolGee4]

That’s just awful...

 

[peerless98]

Haven't we been very proficient at the Free Throw line the past couple of years? Why is this year different?

We have been pretty solid this year until tonight.

 

[Voltopia]

You can tell our players don’t want to risk contact on defense. The officials have firmly influenced the game at this point.

 

[vol4eva]

Nothing is going our way
