Bruce and his kids always tipped me pretty good, back when I used to deliver food. Bruce would always invite me in, and that was really nice.

There’s a pic circling Twitter of the foul called on KD Johnson who never touched Vescovi next to that dude running over WGJ. This wasn’t a missed call. This was fixed basketball.

Definitely a foul, he closed out on the shooter & didn’t let the shooter land. It’s not like he was already there, he had to step up

Auburn lost final four game to foul with less contact than that

Name 1 sport where officials are held accountable

Refs checked their parlay ticket.......and then ran off the court.

That’s crazy in the ref right there bro 🤦🏿‍♂️

It’s a foul, win some lose some

Whoever does not think that this a foul, clearly does not know basketball

The MOB has been paying Referees good in all Sports this year sheesh 😳

Jesus, sec officials are really good at 'managing' games. Gotta keep ut at #2 and looking at a 1 seed. This was yet another game where officials dictated the outcome.

Refs these days are getting paid

Samir doughty did the same thing in the final four they called a foul but Wendell gets done the same way and no foul 🤣

So it’s not just nba refs🤦‍♂️

I don’t think all of you watched the game. Yes it was a foul but that guy had been flopping those calls the whole game which is why the ref was hesitant to call it. Not to mention the play before Vescovi got manhandled on the sideline with no call to get you the ball back. Bad calls go both ways.

A longtime college bb fan, but afar from SEC country. A few comments to add. It's now approaching four decades since the addition of the 3-point circle found everywhere now. What a blessing to the game we love! Really?? Here we have two "power conference" (and ranked) teams in a rivalry matchup that choose to attempt 48 (yes, 48) three-point shots through the course of 40 minutes and are successful FIVE times. Do loyal fans truly enjoy paying good $$ to see this? Since the SEC is firmly among the "power leagues", should they have more to entertain us with? With about one month to go before "Championship weeks", I'd be pleased to see a few more teams from below "power status" be considered for at-large tournament selections. At present, the A-10, CAA, Sunbelt, and Conference USA may have emerging candidates for a shot in the field this year. (FL Atlantic - CUSA may be nearing a spot with or without being conference tourney champ) Of course the Vols and Auburn are tourney locks, but no problem if they keep laying bricks on national TV.

Unrelated, but do TN fans still shout "bruuuuuuuuce" when he comes out? I know there's still a lot of love there for Pearl

its a foul folks.

Horrible play but an even worse no call 💀

They let the fouls go all night ! Can't complain when one didn't go your way ! No excuses! Good win VOLS

He should be mad at the 3pt percentage. How hard is it to tell your guys to stop shooting the 3 ball if it ain’t going in?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 his reaction 🤣🤣

Wendell Definitely Ties THe Game

Boy ESPN is even more pissed. They need to hire some commentators that know something about basketball

Refs all across sports are so freaking bad it’s a joke. They need to implement policies where if refs don’t live up to their end of calling fouls, they should be fined and suspended.

I'm a Tennessee graduate and huge Vol fan. I would rather lose than win due to bad calls like Alabama. The SEC protects its highly ranked teams because the conference only cares about the money. They've never cared about doing the right thing. We fouled that kid in three different ways on the last shot. He should have gotten 9 free throws. It wasn't just that one play though. Plavsich should have been ejected twice for flagrant fouls, and the five second call on the in-bounds play when the refs gave Barnes a time out after about 6.5 seconds was ridiculous. The ref had already counted to five and then gave Tennessee another second and a half before awarding Barnes the time out. Only an Alabama fan could take joy in a tainted win like this one. This game was very similar to the game Alabama "won" in football vs. Texas last season. I'd rather lose than win like this.

Refs need an overhaul. If they keep on playing around people will stop watching.

These are same refs from the Celtics vs lakers game

Holy robbery

Greene’s leg extension didn’t help

This is a foul on every level

Bama fan, and even I say that was a foul. He has to give the player the opportunity to land, regardless of the other contact.

The refs had seen enough, as had a lot of others there and on TV. Nobody wanted overtime, so the refs decided the little used mercy rule would help so everyone involved could leave and talk about one of the ugliest offensive basketball games they would hope never to have to watch one like again. LOL.

They didn't call the moving screen on the play so not calling the foul on the shot evens it out.

How dare we expect referees to do the job that they train and get paid for 😂. Then why don’t we get rid of referees with under 2 minutes left, since we shouldn’t “leave it in their hands”

So its not just the nba…hmm

Refs were bad, but Auburn got multiple friendly calls all game up to this point. The narrative that they got robbed proves you didn't watch the game.

Bruh.. they're worse than the NBA refs 😅 wow

Auburn has been giving some oscar performances.

Terrible no call

You get that shot with 15 seconds left you didn't deserve the win in the first place, but yes it was a foul.

Auburn has been going to the Penny Hardaway Flopping School. They were flopping throwing leg out on shots all game. They got a few calls on what have shoulda been flops on them.That;s the way the cookie crumbles

The ref just didn't fall for the flop.

Congratulations to the officials for winning the game for the Vols because Auburn played 5 on 8 today!

Boi these refs

Of course the only reason he was open for that shot was because of a moving screen that wasn't called so don't hear the commentators complaining bout that 🤷🏼

Refs sucking in college and NBA 😠😠😠

Don’t make it close enough for the Refs to mess up the outcome of the game

Refs on Vols payroll.

The auburn player was clearly acting 😀

Must be the same refs who were in charge of Lakers vs Celtics game. Joke

Absolutely a foul, congrats to Tennessee for the most fraudulent win this season

Dude got called for a flop on a 3 pt shot earlier doing the same exact thing AND kicking the leg out. Yes there was contact but its understandable why they let that go.

Bruce is looking old!!

Hahahaha Go Vols 🍊🍊🍊🍊

ESPN IS A JOKE…..

Sorry, you aren’t the ref. Sorry that announcers are partial. GBO🍊

I'm a Vols fans while I think he should have had 3 shots, he's also flopping into the defender.

How was that a foul? James harden did that same move to try an get a foul call and didn’t get the call, the kid kicked his legs out to him to try an get the call

He literally kicks his legs around him that not a natural shot at all

I love my Vols but Auburn was cheated but who knows he might have missed all 3 shots at the free throw lol

Sucks to be an auburn whatever

FLOP

auburn is a circus. Go Vols

Def foul. Refs affect a lot and its unfortunate how it falls sometimes.

Every Vol hater is on this , but totally ignore just seconds prior, Vescovi was pushed out of bounds by Brooms, and Auburn was given the ball. Every game has these gross officiating moments, so get over it.

That is not a foul. He stood his ground straight up. Shooter flopped.

To be honest, he initiated the contact good no call

Flopping and kicking your legs out to make contact with the defender is not a foul. The heck is wrong with y’all 😂

Not even close to a foul

Who cares about the non-foul call. The number 2 ranked team in the Nation couldn’t even score 50 points in a game?!? This is trash basketball. Both teams deserve to lose this game.
