No vol fan will deny that UT isn't very good. But BBN is in denial if they think there team is better than NIT quality. One and done - live and die by it

Anthony Davis isn't coming back anytime soon

 

[LordVOLdemort]

or if they could handle the ball and execute any type of offense in the last minute of any half.

But a CCM coached team always manages to shoot itself in the foot when the clock gets under a minute...

We couldn't finish a game against the Hellen Kellar(sp?) Hoopsters

 

[Ernest Volmingway]

Refs are so bad I expect a foul called on us every time down the court.

 

[Orange Blazer]

Score? Not watching right now, but I'm sure the game goes something like:

Refs
Wow refs
OMG refs
effing ridiculous refs

11-0 Free throw attempts in favor of Kentucky. Nuff said.

 

[orangesoda]

We suck...but ky is not much better! And damn they are tender!

 

[YankeeVol]

Need to get to the FT line in the second half

 

[Lawrence Wright]

Felt like a turning point. Glad UT was able to keep it close after that

I thought the 3-second call was the turning point. UT was about to go up 6, and UK hadn't given the home crowd anything to cheer for up until that point.

Well, in their defense, they are all 17 and going to the NBA next season:vava:

Man we just seem to make the simplest, most basic basketball moves hard and turn over the ball in the oddest situations. I'll pull for us hard but we just are not a very good team....Jarnell is basically ineffective without Jeronne on the floor...and MAN DO WE NEED A POINT GUARD!!!..Other than that this may be the most disorganized Cats team I've seen in years....hope we can pull one out here but not countiing on it!!!

 

[Vols4life]

I'm hoping the refs aren't biased again in the 2nd half if they stay equal we should win

 

[fall2hb86]

I hope Moore gets more minutes this half, and like to see Reese a little more, thinking he will get better with minutes since he only has a few games under his belt

 

[AZVOLSFAN]

If they don't pull it out here tonight...I would almost start to worry that we may not get a NIT invite.

 

[InVOLuntary]

The turning point was when Calapari told the refs to give Skyler a flagrant foul.

Oh, we'll get in, just wont make it past the first round.

 

[Plecoptera]

Need to get to the FT line in the second half

How? Didn't get to the line once in the first half. What makes you think that these refs are going to remove their blue tinted glasses and call a foul.

I agree with everything u said...Hell, i would take a point guard that could keep the opponents point out of the paint..lol

I think Noel would have to sucker punch Jarnell in the head with brass knuckles and they still might not call a foul.

Missed the first half. Wow! Can't get out of Lexington without getting screwed!

 

[Vols4life]

It's just really sad that the ENTIRE conference knows about the refs in rupp and so does most of the country but yet nothing is done about this!! It needs to stop!!

 

[orangesoda]

This is my first glimpse of UT's hoops squad this season.

Is Golden having an off night or is he consistently inconsistent?

Well, in their defense, they are all 17 and going to the NBA next season:vava:

Point being?

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Memorial Gym is worse.

 

[SWFLvol33]

I thought it was funny how coach cal said at one of the tv breaks that the refs are a good crew LOL

 

[fall2hb86]

Its crazy but any of them would be a star on our team..I hope Jordan keeps up his play, and the last 3 games wasn't a fluke...The man has to play point, which is crazy..

 

[OrangeBalls]

I thought it was funny how coach cal said at one of the tv breaks that the refs are a good crew LOL

Cal knows whose palm to grease.

Outside of Anthony Jordan and TV Teddy, Tony Greene is one of the worst refs going.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

And so it continues....
