The Official #12 Tennessee vs. Arkansas Game Thread, 9:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[Caz]

I know we have the best 3 pt defense, but teams just pull it out of their a## against us it seems.

 

[chuckb1448]

Refs are the Death of my nerves.... it simply won't go away lol

 

[Vols till I fall]

Call me crazy but it seems like Vescovi is playing better running the point???

Maybe he's been so cold cause he only touches the ball when he shoots

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Terrible call

 

[VolArmy74]

Horrid officials. They should be ashamed. Everyone on earth could see that in real time.

Plus Arkansas of course has already exceeded their average in made threes.

 

[JCP201]

Barnes is wearing these officials out. Surely it swings back In our favor at some point

It's obvious what they are doing. Three bad foul calls.

 

[kell7517]

Why would Santi give up a layup and pass it out?

I don’t think he realized he was so open.

 

[Frozevol]

How can a ref be sooo bad?

 

[berryvol]

Officials really trying to keep Arkansas in this game. Sheesh. All ball on that block. And it’s 4-0 in fouls in Arky’s favor this half…

Two ghost fouls in a row

 

[MoCo_Vol]

That’s 3 straight bad calls and Arkansas hasn’t had anything called on them. I really hate how bad officiating is

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Wow referee, you failed.

 

[berryvol]

I'm assuming they called the arm to the head contact. Def no foul on ball.

Nick Smith does that to Santi and it’s no call.

 

[RAVOL]

Three bs whistles.

Horrible whistle. Same guy Rick is talking to everytime.

 

[ColinS]

I'm assuming they called the arm to the head contact. Def no foul on ball.

Yeah, he got him on the head. Looked clean in real time

 

[patrick]

not good to let them hang around. Have to make some shots.

 

[barney]

League just trying to get Arky into the tournament

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Not one foul called on Arkansas this half

 

[Tenacjim]

Three bs whistles.

Make that 4…..

 

[SGMVols]

They called a foul because they just assumed it was impossible for Santi to block Smith clean

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Officiating just kills our momentum every single time

 

[I4Vols]

Did these refs do a few SEC women's games in the past week???

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Barnes is wearing these officials out. Surely it swings back In our favor at some point

I’m glad to see it. It’s a great night to show some fire and he’s doubly justified. The officiating has gone from barely passable to atrocious in the last 5.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Nick Smith does that to Santi and it’s no call.

Yep. The “star” gets the call in those situations when most players don’t.

 

[Adam2014]

Okay….. that’s an individual stat…. Doesn’t change the fact our defense is “bigger” and “longer” without him…

I presented a statistic that proves he is a good defender. The burden of proof is on you to provide a statistic that says our defense is better without ZZ on the floor.

 

[Peyton Berry]

That ONE ref has called 3 terrible fouls on us this half and giving Arkansas every chance to get back in this game
