ESPN gameday blaming refs for TN win

[GBOplayer]

Watching college gameday this morning, and essentially the commentators are saying TN won over Duke because it was poor officiating, saying it was the worst officiated game they have seen. Also saying that refs let the game get too physical.

Seth laying it on thick. Must not have watched any SEC games this season. This was how it was played all season. And Boohoo bilas chiming in.

 

[Caculator]

Got news for them guys, Tennessee is the most experienced team in CBB when it comes to bad officiating. Just check Vol Nation after every loss and the horrors of those striped bandits will be revealed.

 

[Caculator]

They were so somber, as if fouls had died on the court with Duke.

 

[calban]

Talk about shutting the mouths of the same guys who were recently picking Duke to a F4. F those turds.

Why, it's as if ESPN hates us, or something!

ESPN a bunch of frigging whiners....didn't hear that bs on CBS or from Big Charles

And I don’t particularly care for anyone on CBS, either, but Barkley is one of my favorite players of ball time. He has more credibility in his pinkie than the rest of them collectively

The more excuses they make, the more I like it. 65-52 my friends.

All the Blue Bloods have benefited from crucial calls in the past.

Why should we feel sorry for them?

I sure as hell don’t.

What call did they not get?

Should have called a flop on that dookie that got grazed by the basketball from Vescovi and acted like he stepped on a mine.

They embellished those elbows from Plavsic too, though they were undoubtedly legitimate fouls. Wonder if the talking heads are mad that Aidoo didn't get a flagrant for Filipowski running his face into his elbow.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

We clearly won and dictated the game. We controlled the game pulled away late in first half and never trailed in second half. The can cry till the cows come home it doesn’t change the fact Tennessee give them a butt kickin!!! GBO!!!!

Yep. Duke has always done quite well embellishing, a trademark of that program.

But he might be right, next team maybe should bring helmets , cause Duke just showed bringing tampons doesn’t work.

I usually don't buy into the "ESPN hates us" narrative, but that segment was obnoxious. Seth and Bilas both looked like they'd eaten something distasteful.

Bilas still tasting the reflux from being on Brandon Miller’s nuts.

 

[Madscientistvol]

How about that foul on Roach that they changed to his team mate when he complained. They should have been without him from that point on. But crickets on that.

 

[volfeeva]

Duke should have practiced their jump shot instead of practicing flopping.

 

[All Vol!]

Duke is a huge part of their business model. Their bread & butter. They’re protecting the cash cow. Look, most of this boxing match talk hinges on the 2 bumps by Plavvy early on, and he was called for both. Nothing to see here.

The ESPN crew evidently didn't watch any games involving Kensucky and their 'over the back' center this year.

They are just mad because their teams and conferences are getting squashed.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

It’s just funny because the recap of our game got relegated to 2/3s of the way through the program, when you KNOW if Duke had won that game it would have headlined to recap.

Because Big Charles has forgotten more about Bb than any of those ESPN guys, and knows the SEC is big boy Bb.

Bilas, who was the best college basketball analyst in the game by far, has become absolutely obnoxious. He bought into his own hype and has become such a Duke homer he has ruined his credibility.
