Oweh and Williams are both HORRID tonight. Williams didn’t even attempt to block Ziegler’s lay ups. Like he’s saving a foul. What the hell are you saving a foul for? To not block someone taller?
i think he has 3 or 4 fouls, and he’s our point guard lmao.

This is exactly why you can’t screw around when you have a chance to get a big lead. It should have been a 12+ lead at halftime and UT wasn’t coming back from that.
Hard when the refs let one team play rugby and yet have 5 fouls at the 13:00 mark in the 2nd. Meanwhile we get called for looking at a guy on a shot. Like I said earlier we need to be 10 pts better to win by 1 with this crew.

He was literally being held by the o th er Tennessee guy
Okpara looks like he took offensive screen-setting lessons from OSU's offensive line coaches. I've never seen someone get away with more drive blocks that wasn't playing football

If Amari had of made a move after Ziegler, the refs would have called a foul and Amari knew it. That’s why he let him go, that would have been number 4.

I can't believe Garrison is gonna be the starting center next season. If he is we're cooked.
Exactly. It’s laughable that some in the other thread think he should be our starting center next year or even worse at power forward. Unless he makes a major jump he is a backup.

More so for after this game. But we have to get healthy. We have to start thinking about sitting some of our better guys just to avoid the injury risk. If Butler is anything less than 90% next game, he's gotta sit.

Were a win or two away from safely making the tournament. If we have to throw away a Tuesday night SEC game to get our guys healthy, so be it.

A sweet 16 is so close for this team if they can just get in as a 7 seed or better (I don't think any of our first 2 opponents will be able to handle this if they aren't sec teams). But it won't matter if we go into the tournament down 4 or 5 guys.

Pope kept Perry in the game after the >16:00 timeout, then he put Carr in at 50-47 with 12 minutes left.

I had a list of three things that had to happen in the second. Pope didn’t go with any of the three.

1. Play Butler as much as possible.
2. Play Carr as little as possible.
3. Ride Trent Noah’s hot hand.
Was we up 9 or not? I got dizzy trying to understand that

The trolls in this thread game after game are worse than the refs.
What do you want?

The thing is, you're not the first one tonight to say "I don't usually like to talk about the refs"..

But i keep seeing these posts every week. It's OK to admit something is afoul. At some point, if every week we say "damn these fouls are weird".. well maybe it's not just random?

Not trying to single you out.
Yeah unfortunately I've seen it a lot if weeks. Dude 17-2 FTs at home against TN. Only someone with a bet on TN could see this differently.
