The Official Tennessee vs. Michigan Game Thread, 7:15 pm ET(03/28/14), CBS

We are really going to b1tch about the reffing when we had to foul Michigan like 3 times at the end of the game to get them in the bonus while we were already in the bonus?

The refs were fine most of the game. There were many reasons why we lost, the refs were way down the list if even on it.

Yes I will complain about obvious missed calls. I never said that's why we lost except for the last play. Our foul totals are irrelevant

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Keep crying about the refs. LOL.

Keep looking like an idiot saying it was the right call.

 

[jspvol76]

That one hurt...I haven't been that upset after a loss of any kind for UT in a while. That is a good thing though.

 

[TheManFromTenn]

Way to fight till the end! Go Vols!!

 

[WarDamnVols]

That one hurt. We had a chance for the win there and blew it. Can't believe the ref called that. Time to go drink my sadness away. If I don't respond at all after this post by midnight tomorrow night, someone will need to alert the authorities.

Did you see the so called fourth foul called on Maymon?

No one but one ref saw that foul

Bottom line. I can't stand KY either, more so Calipari, but what I really can't stand is how the analysts bash SEC basketball. Your coach got you into the tournament and you almost beat the BIG ten best team. You can analyze the last play all night long its not going to change. Congrats on a well played game. Go SEC and for me go gators..

I hope the Gators win......... A big case of the herpes.

What about the Rick Flair eye gouge that knocked out Stoke's contact...that was after he got body checked out of bounds by Morgan on the previous play.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Seems to be the people who think it was a great charge call are the BBB crowd...

Foul is a foul. You don't swallow the whistle regardless of time, if it's indeed a foul.

But they usually do is the issue. I agree the game should be officiated correctly regardless of time. 90% of the time it's not. Under 10 sec they let stuff go that's a foul with 15 min to go.

 

[volgr]

The obvious missed calls where letting Maymon continue to guard players on the perimeter, take disjointed shots on offense with no one down low to rebound, completely mis-play the high screen action, etc.

 

[Volfan2432]

This one hurts, a lot. I hate to blame refs but they were so inconsistent the whole game. You should never let refs determine the outcome of a game, especially in the sweet 16. Just terrible. This team has been through so much and for it to end like this is heart breaking.

 

[armchair]

should have been a no call with under 10 secs

will not blow their whistle one way or the other in that situation--game on the line, 10 seconds left, unless it is an egregious hack or somesuch, and sometimes they won't even call a hack. Most good officials would have not blown the whistle, so it would have been play on after Stokes lost the ball...That is a tradition in officiating that goes back ages. And had there been no call, we would have lost the ball and the game...just saying. You have to pass the ball to one of your two playmakers--that's WHY you have playmakers! Anyway, I'm done talking about it. Martin called a dumb play but it's hard to win when you are well behind for most of the game.

 

[jspvol76]

It never went out of bounds actually is either way it's their ball.

You're right, just watched it again. The side spin stopped it right on the line and the Michigan player picked it up.

dont ruin our fun of ref bashing.

Unless they called the appropriate call blocking

 

[StarRaider]

Close the doors, put out the light
You know they won't be home tonight
The snow falls hard and don't you know
The winds of Thor are blowing cold
They're wearing steel that's bright and true
They carry news that must get through

They choose the path where no-one goes
They hold no quarter,
They hold no quarter.
Oh...

Walking side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step
The snow drives back the foot that's slow
The dogs of doom are howling more
They carry news that must get through
To build a dream for me and you
They choose the path that no one goes
They hold no quarter,
They ask no quarter,
They hold no quarter,
They ask no quarter...they think about no quarter...With no quarter quarter.
Oh No...

this stings like the UGA game(fb) last season....my liver can't take too many more games like this...

 

[BigOrangeCrush32]

I still doubt it was option one. If it was, I can't really fault him for it. Stokes on the block isn't a bad place for the ball to ever be.

Except he WASN'T on the block

Vandy FB games his year
2 Tex A&M games this year
LSU FB game
UNC Bowl game
Mizzou FB game Dooley's last year ( ok , that was a good thing. Got Dooley fired)

 

[BigOrangeCrush32]

We can ***** and moan about the refs all night...BUT, Stokes should've never had the ball in the first place, ESP that far out of the lane, THAT was the Bad Call...

 

[Wilson27]

.....and somehow watching UK getting the shiz kicked out of them is making it a little better.

He passes it to a charging McRae for a dunk and the play makes Zo look like a genius.

none of those minus the UNC Bowl game made me feel as bad as this game tonight or the uga football game last season.
