Tennessee vs OSU Sweet 16 Game Thread!

I watched the replays too and I am still saying he fouled him.

That's fine JennVols but you are wrong...no big deal...

 

[GAVol]

Exactly. It's absolutely inexcusable not to get Lofton the ball in that situation.

Of course, that's just my opinion and I'm not a basketball coach, but it seems to be pretty common sense.

I sort of agree, but with 6 seconds to go and having to go the length of the court, having Ramar go to the rack is not all that bad a shot either. At that point you pretty much have to just take what you get.

Think about it this way, if the NBA wouldn't have suggested that a Player out of High School should attend atleast 1 year in College, we would be in the Elite 8.

So, the NBA cost us the game. :banghead2:

We didn't need a big. We lost every game this year (except Butler, NC, Fl, and SC) by not hitting our FT. I believe this was our worst FT shooting night.

no what we need is one of those things that OSU has in the middle

 

[MaxBuck]

I guess I can understand the bitterness. But I'll give your team props nonetheless. Great effort by the Vols. You'll be terrific next year.

i just kept wondering why we didn't use the press that much?:ermm:

I know I'm repeating myself but that was actually a very good play.

 

[JennVols]

refs will almost never call a foul when that happens unless somebody just hauls off on the shooter. they never want to end a game on the freethrows and usually let the players play it out

I agree with you. It just sucks that we had to lose that way. I think that I would have rather them blown us out. It would have been easier to deal with. :cray:

Ladies and gentlemen its FOOTBALL time in TENNESSEE!:rock: (sort-a, orange and white game :ermm: )

I would say that 6 seconds left qualifies for the exclusion policy as well.

First game FT 5-11 (45&#37
Tonight FT 8-17 (47%)

i wanted lofton for the last shot but GREAT YEAR:rock:

 

[tuxman]

Free throws, missed layups, our post players were nonexistent, Bradshaw killed us down the stretch, and to top of it off we didn't get the ball to our clutch player. We deserved to lose. Hey Pearl...recruit a friggin big man and make those boys shoot free throws all summer and u can make the Final 4 next year!:lolabove:

If we knock down 60 percent from the line we win that game...it had nothing to do with not having a big man...

im with x on this one, we should all be mad at David Stern right now and the NCAA allowing movie monsters to play with humans

Any other team and I would be completely fine with Ramar taking that shot. I just don't think he has much of a chance when Oden is on the other side. I just would rather have Lofton taking the last shot.

 

[JennVols]

That's fine JennVols but you are wrong...no big deal...

I am right, but thanks for your feedback.

6 seconds was enough time to get Lofton the ball. If nothing else, you throw the ball into him and let him bring it up the court.

It was a decent drive by Ramar, but he's the freshman. You get the ball to your playmaker in those situations.

We can celebrate the season later. Now is for venting.

Ref's will never call a foul on the last play of the game

true...but everyone knows lofton is the one whose going to have the ball...i think u still give it to ur point guard and let him drive

I'm never watching the NBA again.
