The Official #8 Tennessee vs. #4 Kentucky Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, ESPN

[GAVol]

I can't explain to you how much better this game is with Dick Vitale muted. He adds zero.

 

[zaqhhh]

I'd love to have a game where I could feel the refs didn't greatly influence the outcome.

 

[GetEmVols]

So I guess you'll be turning off your television then?

told you. They just drive to the basket now. Two in a row and we can’t stop it without the inside presence.

 

[Voltopia]

They called us for literally brushing dudes on layups and then don't give Grant anything -- the freaking SEC PLAYER OF THE YEAR and those stripes swallow their whistles. That's the SEC.

 

[golfballs]

**** these refs

 

[Volfan2012]

They never get called for obvious fouls give it up the Refs not gonna give you an even break.

 

[vol4eva]

Dam it all

 

[tnvols72]

REFEREES don't have respect for Barnes. They just shrug him off.

Barnes needs to grow a set

 

[TJVol95]

This is where the refs take over. Williams got mugged!

 

[Alex10]

You know, I think I might have an idea as to why Kentucky wins so many SEC tournaments.

I stated this in an earlier post before the game started. It’s really not hard to figure out. If you aren’t 10 to 12 points better than them you will not win because that is about what the refs usually hand them.

Hard to defend when the silly non-fouls start piling up.

 

[feathersax]

Horrible refs

The fix is in.

 

[HighWaterVol]

Our turn to make a run now.

Yes please

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

This is where the refs take over. Williams got mugged!

So did Schofield a minute ago

 

[secking]

Refs are out of control...letting the guys play, then a stretch if tick tack fouls, then letting them play...?

Agree 100, Vols have got more than their share of calls but dang if it’s not feast or famine. NO consistency from the refs. What’s a foul this trip isn’t the next, then they call everything, then they call nothing. Just be consistent, geez.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Barnes needs to grow a set

And what, get a tech? So they get more points?

 

[VOLuntary]

Rick needs to get a T on these no calls.

 

[ButchPlz]

The fix is in.

Officiating across the SEC needs an serious review. That Grant no-call was blatant.

 

[BreatheUT]

So we get the T and Cal complains. We get 2 quick fouls on KA? BS! Beat those arrogant a$$’s!

Is Coach Barnes on the ref's like Cal. I agree as soon as they called the tech Kyle gets a offensive foul getting post position.

 

[minorvol]

Come on guys. Get ticked off and take over this game.

 

[Chilmonty]

This is why I HATE BBall, the Damn Refs!!!!

 

[golfballs]

Rick needs to get a T on these no calls.

No but he needs to let them have it

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

Rick needs to get a T on these no calls.

It wouldn't work with him

 

[kbear01]

The route is on. No big man to contest UK's SUPER ATHLETES. It'll be dunk city! Way to go Alexander! UK90 UT 71.

 

[jessiej86]

Playing with one hand tied behind their back with the way it's being called.
