Ole Miss traveled on their inbounds play

[Thunder Good-Oil]

With 3 seconds left. And their big guy got away with a really blatant one in the 1st half (edit: actually the 2nd half, their 30th/31st points) as he scored.

That is all.

 

[whobethis16]

Yes, but this shouldn't have ever been close. Can't blame a missed call when the players failed so miserably.

 

[golfballs]

It was very blatant. We didn’t play well but these calls make a difference.

 

[golfballs]

Yes, but this shouldn't have ever been close. Can't blame a missed call when the players failed so miserably.

**** that. You can’t excuse referee incompetence because of “players failings”

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

There are plenty of other threads for you to whine about those things. I’m simply pointing out a couple of horrible calls.

 

[golfballs]

Also, please for the love of god don’t allow that ******** James harden traveling crap to come to college basketball.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

If anybody has mad video editing skills, I’d love to see those two plays posted here.

 

[Phil-A-Man Jaro]

I called that one as soon as he did it. Blatant.
I've seen other players try it this year and get called for it.

How many horrible plays by players does it take to balance an "incompetent" official? I guarantee you the officials called a more accurate game the players. So what's the number? The team only hit 60% from the line, so they failed 40% of the time. Is 80% good? I guarantee they didn't miss 40% of their calls. So honestly, why are officials (of any sport) expected to be perfect, and the slightest mistakes are magnified so much?

Good grief

Yeah I never get this reasoning. And for the folks who say "It shouldn't have been close enough for it to matter," I mean refs could make our team beat the Lakers if they tried hard enough (this isn't to excuse tonight's effort from the Vols, just a broader point)

 

[whobethis16]

No, it's a serious question. Why are officials, of any sport, not allowed to make a mistake, but are so quick to be blasted?

Refs will make mistakes but that doesn’t mean they’re all excusable. And it definitely doesn’t have anything to do with how well either team performs. What if both teams play like crap? Then we’re ok with refs determining the outcome because neither team played well?

Again, I started the thread to discuss those specific calls. There are plenty of other threads to whine about the players and the coaching. Take advantage of them.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

They did, but this team didn't deserve to get that call. They never should've been in that position.

A critical call was apparently missed at a critical moment. That is the topic.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

It should have been called according to the rule book.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

It should have been called according to the rule book.

Im not arguing that at all, but its the what if coulda shoulda would game. Shouldn't have been in that position.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Video clips anybody?

Barnes is an old man with old man eyes and he was all over that no call.

 

[VOLinAL]

I watched the play, it wasnt a travel. Took two steps and established his pivot foot, step after doesnt matter.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

I think the plays where our players were knocked to the floor with no fouls called were pretty ridiculous.

Yeah I honestly think the travel could've gone either way, there were worse calls throughout

Springer got mugged in the first half on a play and they called him on a turnover.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Traveling and blocks/charges are the 2 most difficult calls to make.

It looked to me like he picked up his pivot foot. I’d like to see it again.
