The Official #4 Tennessee vs. #9 Florida Atlantic NCAA Tournament Game Thread, 9:00 PM ET, TBS

[Caz]

It’ll be like every year. We get rolled by a team we should beat and they play the next game and can’t hit a damn thing.

 

[hardyemt_p]

Hooting it up they said. Embarrassing

 

[I4Vols]

That was bs call

Did they even look at the replay???
No elbow

 

[rocktopper16]

Worst call of the year? And they called that after a review?!?

They have the wrong play. It was when he hit the three Plas lowered his shoulder and trucked dude.

 

[berryvol]

Again? The refs. You still not seeing it?

You seen us getting our ass kicked on the glass all night? A lot more second chance points than that one flagrant FT.

 

[BP4Prez]

How is that called after a review? Barnes ought to be irate in the postgame and demand an explanation on that crap

 

[white65]

I don't respect FAU especially that puss of a big man.

Hes been flopping all game.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

The refs are way at the bottom of the list of who to blame for this choke job.

 

[GAVol]

That is a BS call

How can you look at that replay and come up with that kind of crap??

 

[GBO18]

A S16 for Tennessee is not really a mediocre season lol

Yep. Sweet 16 is more than fine. Hopefully they make a comeback but great season.

 

[ndubvols]

Need tog o small the rest of the game. Hope the refs get their head out of their ass

 

[Volstylexx]

A S16 for Tennessee is not really a mediocre season lol

They don’t care. If we lose this, just log off for a few days. They’ll get bored and go away after 48 hours

 

[Namorto1]

14 pts in 13 minutes ….that’s all.

 

[Zues1]

I'll tell you what, if they are going to call that **** someone is going home with stitches on the cheek bone..
Get ya monies worth

 

[vols 30]

A S16 for Tennessee is not really a mediocre season lol

Its not, but it is a letdown losing to FAU.

 

[Naitch]

That was for Jon Scheyer. He has been vocal since the Duke loss about UT's dirty play.

 

[ButchPlz]

Cause they’re bitches like 50 in blue

Dude's an asshat from Russia, so you know his life sucks.

He'll have nothing after his ****** little college career.

 

[volbound1700]

Hey I can remember a worse Rick Barnes tournament loss than this one, remember the game we lost to loyola Chicago and sister Jean now that was def more embarrassing

To me, Michigan last year was the worse. Although this is competing. No reason we should have lost to Michigan.

Still worse NCAA loss ever was the one game with Pearl where we were up huge on Ohio State in Sweet 16 and they came back and won by a single point.

 

[Lankykong]

I can’t stand when commentators, or anybody else, talk up “selling” contact and promoting flopping.

It’s their way of saying the refs are bad without getting fined. They’ve been hinting the refs were kinda bad all game

 

[rdk4121]

At least the refs have decided to make it obvious.

 

[cncchris33]

I mean I only saw the replay at bad angles but was there even elbow contact

None at all, and I'd be the first one to throw Uros under the bus I'd he did something stupid.

 

[KeyVol14]

Hoping for a miracle but that never happens for TN

 

[berryvol]

Lol....we can't throw it in the ocean, we can't rebound for s***, and we've let 3 point shooters get open over and over and over......and it's the refs.

We should have put these guys away in the first half and didn't and it's biting us in the ass.

Yup. Can’t blame the refs when we would’ve been up 15-20 at half if we’d made open shots in the paint. We did this to ourselves.

 

[JCP201]

Nothing Flagrant here. I am sad for Rick Barnes because he is not a dirty coach and VOLS aren't a dirty team. Media was pissed about Duke. I'm also sad because our team goes cold --and Barnes is going to get blamed for that too.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Tn has scored 14 points this half

That's a lot of points for the Pruitt era
