[zaqhhh]

At least 3 missed layups today.

6 or 7 by my count

 

[Caz]

From national title contender to layup drills

Yeah..and throw in some rebounding drills too!

 

[hUTch2002]

This one is going to sting a while.

2 games in a row of playing like crap at home. Any thoughts I had of this team doing well in March are gone. If you can’t play well at home you sure as hell can’t away from home in March. If I had to bet on it today I’d say round 2 at best unfortunately. Maybe they’ll surprise me. I hope so.

These guys are chokers. Been choking all night.

Horrible take.

 

[tmack50]

I want nobody but Plav shooting the ball.

 

[Volbrando]

Dunk the ****ing ball

I have never understood why we don’t attack the basket more than we do. We look weak on offense at times because of that.

 

[vol4eva]

Dont know why it’s taken us so long to go back to Uros

 

[Volstylexx]

3 straight stops and buckets. That’s all we need to win this on the final possession. LETS GOOOO!!!

 

[ttocswob]

Uros MVP
Let that sink in

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

If you cant make a layup...

 

[Putbacks]

Plav drew some contact on that too, but it was ignored. Forgiving refs….

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Spare me the BS

Half of the sh*t they called on us weren’t even fouls

You're absolutely correct and it got us frustrated and no flow whatsoever due to all the whistles

 

[DowntownVol]

The refs obviously suck, but if UT loses, blame the missed bunnies and wide open 3s, not the officiating.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

At what point do you acknowledge that we've been fouling a lot and playing sloppy and uninspired? If it's not this point, then well....

If you blame the refs for this peformance then you might as well just stop ever actually watching the game. I mean ffs.

 

[yabadabadolnavy]

we're still going to win. you guys are so over the top always. so dramatic

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Unfathomable how many uncontested layups we missed today. And those are literally going to be the difference in the game.

 

[ButchPlz]

My mind is still blown that Bilas said not once, but TWICE that Vescovi getting charged and taking an elbow to the face should have been a foul on him.

 

[sechamp2012]

As bad as refs been we’ve missed more layups today all way back to Donnie Tyndalls tenure

 

[happy-go_vol]

I knew we shouldn't have had all this pomp today.

 

[Putbacks]

The officials have made up for all the players KY is without

 

[Block Party]

Surprised we have anyone left to put out there with all the fouls they've called today.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

One bucket, quick

 

[AthensVol2007]

At what point do you acknowledge that we've been fouling a lot and playing sloppy and uninspired? If it's not this point, then well....

Don’t go full Jay. This game has been physical as hell and we’ve committed our fair share. The issue is, it’s not been called consistently. The first half was evident of that. We had a 6-0 run of fouls and then UK had a 5-0 run of fouls. Both teams didn’t suddenly change what they were doing.

 

[Deathandtaxes]

This is why you know Kentucky should of lost…. They are trying to lose but the refs won’t let them.

 

[volsarelife1]

Just give the ball to Uros
