The Official #2 Tennessee vs. #25 Auburn Game Thread, 2:00 PM ET, ESPN

[ColinS]

Funny how the announcers are taking up for Auburn on that “no call”, but completely ignore our players getting pushed out of bounds.

Vescovi fell out of bounds untouched. Phillips pass trapped him and put him in trouble

 

[amorange]

I think you are right

 

[goffvol]

First off you stupid ass announcers it was a moving screen, but nobody wants to talk about that.

absolutely should have been a moving screen. if the auburn player doesnt throw his legs around the defender it may have been called. doesnt matter we win.

 

[TennVols12]

Had em all the way

Right?? Never a doubt

 

[VinnieVOL]

Shooter kicked both legs out so far, he wrapped them around the defender. Lol

 

[DuckInAPen]

turning this crap off... tell me how many we lose by--- gotta go do something more productive like watch paint dry instead of watching us turn the ball over every play and bricking every basket attempt.... as a supposedly top 10 team at HOME.

We lost by -3.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

That was a 50-50 call that went in our favor. We are very lucky. Officiating just helped us right there for all the folks crying about officiating.

We cry because it’s bad, Broome fouled 3 times on our inbound play earlier, ON sold it well and Green was flopping every 3 he took.

First off you stupid ass announcers it was a moving screen, but nobody wants to talk about that.

And that might be why the refs didn’t call the foul on the shooter. Even though at second glance, it looks like it might have been a flop anyway.

 

[ColinS]

You should be allowed to land. He crowded his space. Again 50-50 call.

Green's early flops worked against him

Lol dude was trying to ride ON

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I laughed at Pearl being pissed and yelling at one of his players then immediately turned into Mr. Nice guy when he saw Barnes.

 

[VolinMichigan]

He went straight up with his arms. I could see it called or not but at end of game that takes guts by ref to swallow whistle but maybe they didn’t get call due to all their flops on 3s

He also stepped right into him while he was still in the process of shooting. That was a no call.

 

[i2amavol]

Shooter wrapped his legs around ON

Yeah, I don't think you call a foul in that situation. The shooter moved into him.

 

[Volfan2012]

Well that was quite and experience. We win with 46 points. We win shooting less than 30 percent. I think we barely shot 50 percent from the free throw line. I'll take it.

 

[Tenacjim]

Yep

Sorry, but he flopped in mid air![/QUOTE
yep. Jumped into him and kicked his legs out!

 

[Vol49er]

If Uros gets a tech because of his (deserved) rep for being a goon, then Wendell Greene should expect not to get calls for being fouled on threes due to his (deserved) rep for flopping

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Green going for the double leg kickout move on that last shot. Actually had both feet beyond 13's body before the flop.

 

[TennVols12]

I have seen some impressive ball from these guys but they are as bad at times as they are good which makes them above average at best. I will not be surprised if they are out the first round in the tournament.

Yep, Arkansas AM State Tech gonna bounce em

 

[Col_Cathcart]

Green's early flops worked against him

100%. If he doesn’t flop on every shot he probably gets that call (and maybe actually makes a couple shots)

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Glad to get the W. We are not looking good.

 

[VolArmy74]

Can't complain about the refs on that last shot.

They were still awful, it just benefitted us that time. They missed a bunch of fouls on Auburn when Vescovi turned it over. They missed that one on us.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Ugly game but a win is a win. Definitely gotta figure some things out on offense, though. Two games in a row with well below 60 points. Starting to become something of a trend which is troubling. Not going to win many scoring less than 60.

 

[Tenacjim]

He went straight up with his arms. I could see it called or not but at end of game that takes guts by ref to swallow whistle but maybe they didn’t get call due to all their flops on 3s

And Carson Edwards kicked out in the tourney. Still not over that!

 

[TennVols12]

Green going for the double leg kickout move on that last shot. Actually had both feet beyond 13's body before the flop.

Been watching too much Lana in the hotel rooms

 

[Volstylexx]

You should be allowed to land. He crowded his space. Again 50-50 call.

when you flop in mid air and wrap your legs around the waist of the defender you shouldn’t be rewarded with a foul call. Right call, imo.
