Shoo.... that was a sweat

 

[FlVols]

Go Vols!!

 

[Voltopia]

THROW IT DOWN, IGOR. THROW IT DOWN.

 

[TheDirector]

ZZ made the free throws to cover.......

 

[Delmar]

I asked it last week. Where in Hades do they get these pathetic referees? It seems like it gets worse every year. Do people with eyesight just not want to do it anymore?

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

11 point win. yay

 

[GAVol]

It was a jump ball

After the over the back.

 

[Tenacjim]

It took 62 years but I have now officially seen the most egregious “tie up” call in my life…..

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Refs are 100% working the line. It's blatant.

 

[kiddiedoc]

Had good guys -9.5 + over 136.5 parlay

 

[Tenacjim]

Wow that guy was on our back....literally and we get called for foul!

Jump ball, but yeah…..

 

[VOLINVONORE]

I wish we had beaten them by 30/., but I will celebrate the 11 point win.

 

[KTrain]

I hope these officials don't watch the replay of this game talk about some embarrassing calls.

 

[adam.vol]

Go Vols! Keep on winning!

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Shot under average from 3 and FT, win by 11.

We did a better job defending them in the 2nd half, but will have to bring a lot more effort on defense against Auburn.

About what I expected, without the foul fest the refs created in 2nd half we probably win that one by 20.

Felix didn't play a ton hope he's ready for Auburn and can stay out of foul trouble.

 

[C-south]

After the over the back.

Right. But it wasn’t a foul on us.

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

Why are so many worried about calls or not calls up 10 with half a minute left. Just something to complain about, I guess.

Because it’s always a problem and unacceptable. Speaking of needing something to complain about, look at you hoss!

 

[Delmar]

Why are so many worried about calls or not calls up 10 with half a minute left. Just something to complain about, I guess.

When it’s blatantly bad, you have to call it out. In a close game, those pathetic calls will beat you.

 

[JCP201]

Good win. Great play by Mashack, Lanier.. all of them.

 

[Cdywolfe]

Why are so many worried about calls or not calls up 10 with half a minute left. Just something to complain about, I guess.

Cause they’ll do the same garbage in a 1 possession game tomorrow. The real question is why do some people love the taste of referee boot so much.

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

When it’s blatantly bad, you have to call it out. In a close game, those pathetic calls will beat you.

Kinda like the no call on Broome the last time we played auburn? Pretty pivotal moment in that game up 5 and should’ve been shooting ft’s.

 

[BigBadVol]

We can complain about Bilas (and for good reason) but he has called out some of the ludicrous calls (like Weaver's flop and that over-and-back being called a jump ball)

I was going to say the same thing. He can be a cuck sometimes but he does call the refs out. Against AU when they called TN for a travel that literally cost them the game, he also stated “in what universe is that not a foul?”

 

[I4Vols]

I hope these officials don't watch the replay of this game talk about some embarrassing calls.

Sankey & his Alabama henchmen won't watch it but will use it for "positive" training

 

[Chaz-Vol]

Bring on the Pearl clan and their band of annoying lunatics

 

[MoCo_Vol]

ZZ with 702 assists now for his career just 14 away from being the all-time career holder and he sets the single season record with 230 and counting.

Chaz moves into 3rd with 3 point makes at 107, he needs 12 to pass Lofton for the single season record.
