Why do they reward that shot by Taylor?

 

[joevols89]

Refs rewarding bad shooters...

Don’t foul him.

 

[OrangeInKy]

I can't believe they are letting these clowns bait them into these stupid fouls, knowing that was what they do.

 

[vols 30]

Lowest basketball IQ by a UT team in a very long time IMO

 

[YankeeVol]

Aggie fans yelling “air ball” is lame

Every team does it lol

 

[VOLINVONORE]

This is about the third or fourth time we have fouled a three point shooter. We are just giving the game away.

 

[Baulder]

I almost can't be bothered to watch the rest of this. These refs are going to call a foul on every since possession and these last 11 minutes will take an hour to play.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Taylor alone is 12-13 from the FT line. Tennessee with 9 FTA.

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

This is what I predicted when I seen the ref crew not that they are against Vols just our style of D has to have officials that go by the “Let ‘em Play” if their blowing whistle every other floor trip we are losing, that’s why we won’t go far in tournament officiating will get us we play rough tough D with hand checking etc,,

If refs called the Alabama game this way, we’d be on the verge of losing 5 straight.

 

[TrapVol]

So no call on the obvious push off? That’s the only reason Mashack had to recover and ended up fouling.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Awaka leading the team in FTs

 

[VolGee4]

Yes I agree, college refs are terrible and love the replay and air time. With that said, you can’t continue to blame every game as bad as we are playing on the refs. It’s just ludicrous to say every game it’s because the refs. We just suck.

We aren’t good, but they do suck. I can’t watch games with Pat Adams.

 

[barney]

feel bad for vescovi. He's worked so hard for so long.

 

[Cartervol]

This team has no basketball IQ. Same dumb mistakes every game..

 

[ndubvols]

We’re on pace for nearly 40 fouls this half. That’s not good officiating

 

[vavolfan6]

I say let A&M shoot..just don't let the drive

 

[Vols2015]

We don't have a bench. We are injured...

I see five players suited up, so we do have a bench.

 

[ttocswob]

Awaka hits the1&1 wow!

 

[VolGee4]

Don’t foul him.

You don’t reward that shot.

 

[OrangeInKy]

Every team does it lol

we did it last week vs Bama

 

[vols1071]

Change the game up Barnes!!!... Speed it up.. Full court or trap... Get in transition to help our offense... Half court is putrid

 

[Switch 625]

Every team does it lol

Yeah, but not in the second half for an air ball in the first half

 

[joevols89]

You don’t reward that shot.

They won’t if you don’t foul the shooter.

 

[cwbytruckers]

I don’t mean to be an *******—BUT WTF ARE YOU WATCHING???

Have you ever watched sports? Can you not see the officials changed the momentum of the game? It’s not on Barnes. It’s not on our guys. It’s on the refs.

Im watching a game where guys dont seem confident to make plays

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Who said has no impact? You keep quoting that every game but who said it?

Because if one says the refs didn’t cost us the game, that’s not the same thing as saying they have no impact.

Refs are certainly calling wayyyy more on us than they are on A&M.

Not to mention they’ve stopped the game three times to review.

No flow in this game.
