These refs got the memo. No fouls called.

They'll make it up in the 2nd half.

 

[Bkocats]

Yeah and I've already seen complaints about the refs.
Poor refs just can't win.

All I ever ask for is consistency

 

[pauled]

Williams is a joke.

One of the Laziest bigs I’ve seen wear the blue and white!

 

[TheWyldKat]

We usually lose when Bulter plays bad. Not a good sign

Second game, where he struggled

 

[Farsight]

WTF Amari. SIT DOWN.

I feel like if you scream at the tv, amari is going to give you laryngitis lol

 

[Basscat1987]

I’ve never seen a 7footer feel like he has to do a shot fake at the rim more than Williams’s. Just jump and slam the freakin ball. Damn

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Shocked that wasn't a walk with these refs. These dudes are Australian rules football refs.

 

[HoldMyBeer]

"Ohh, y'all are mad about us calling too many fouls last week?.... How bout NO FOULS called" - SEC Refs

 

[LmdCat]

Why is a 7-footer pump faking on a direct path to the basket? There was no one in front of him and he is easily the tallest player on the floor.

 

[TheWyldKat]

I know Pope has to be instructing the guys to block out and have at least decent position on rebounding. But I’m pretty sure my Church league boxes out better.

 

[chasingwildcat]

Plays noah more in the future

Noah plays good defense, grab rebound and set screen for others

He rebound way more better than amari

 

[bbncal02]

I’m telling you Butler has lost confidence for some reason. Guy needs to pull it together. Looks shaky with the ball and looks timid to score

Wonder if Butler is hurt. I mane that man has taken absolute beatings lately.

 

[Chief Paducah]

I think a lot of Williams problem is positioning for rebounds. Oscar knew where to go. Williams just turns and hopes for the best.

Should have ripped the frigging rim off

 

[HYTCHYE ISLAND]

Amari has to be better at finishing those type of plays. No reason to stop and pump right there. Go up and dunk the ball!!! At worst he gets fouled but at least he has the shot at the and 1.

 

[ukwazoo]

Defensive rebounding not great again

 

[Dreklie]

Why is Williams shot faking there? Just go up and dunk it ... dude has the same mindset Poythress had.

 

[Digger-Cat]

Such a strange game, these lineups are bizarre. I hope Pope doesn’t stay with these lineups the whole game.

 

[ala_kat2]

Second game, where he struggled

He’s struggled for 5 games in a row now.

[TheBlueMist]

Optimist: Pope knows we have this Vandy team outmanned and outmatched, so he's giving Noah, Chandler, and Perry more minutes this half to keep our starters fresh for the second half.

Pessimist: We are still banged up so we have to play our 8-10 guys more.

 

[B.B.H.]

Love how Noah is playing. Bringing some juice and fight to the game. Young legend in the making. He just DGAF

 

[Basscat1987]

The offense has stalled, the defense is horrible, what else can’t you see?

Alvin brooks is supposed to be the defensive guru on the staff. Maybe we need to go a different direction in that position next season

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Why is a 7-footer pump faking on a direct path to the basket? There was no one in front of him and he is easily the tallest player on the floor.

Because he plays as though he is 6’6”

Most frustrating player on the team by far. Inconsistent

 

[FirewithFire]

Why is a 7-footer pump faking on a direct path to the basket? There was no one in front of him and he is easily the tallest player on the floor.

I guess he was thinking three point play. Just not the right time.

 

[JHannibalSmith]

Noah earning himself some more minutes.

Honestly, Noah has played well every time he’s gotten a chance, even if it’s been mostly against weaker competition. He hasn’t gotten many opportunities so far, but, he has knocked down a few 3s & hasn’t had any “unplayable” moments, IMO.

 

[ala_kat2]

Why is Williams shot faking there? Just go up and dunk it ... dude has the same mindset Poythress had.

He can’t make a dunk off one foot in rhythm. He had a clear lane to the goal, and he’s 7’ tall with 5 foot arms.

 

[Digger-Cat]

Oksy, so why is Oweh sitting so long? This is odd

 

[Anthony B]

There was absolutely no reason that last foul call on Williams needed to be reviewed. It clearly wasn't intentional on the part of the Vandy player. Pope should have seen that.

 

[Edgarman]

All I ever ask for is consistency

The refs are letting both teams play. This is to our benefit because we are so much bigger than Vandy. Best refs we have had all year on the road. We sure as hell can't blame refs today. I have seen walks and fouls on both teams not called. Let them play!!

 

[HoldMyBeer]

No more Centers from Nottingham plz!

 

[mrjuk]

LET’S GOOOO

 

[kywildcat41035]

Such a strange game, these lineups are bizarre. I hope Pope doesn’t stay with these lineups the whole game.

Not having Carr is screwing with him

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

Wonder if Butler is hurt. I mane that man has taken absolute beatings lately.

That pass had nothing to do with being hurt.

 

[B.B.H.]

Alvin brooks is supposed to be the defensive guru on the staff. Maybe we need to go a different direction in that position next season

Dumb take. All three hundred something schools would be interested. Brooks is a top assistant. At least know what the hell you’re talking about part of the time

 

[cathouse]

I think a lot of Williams problem is positioning for rebounds. Oscar knew where to go. Williams just turns and hopes for the best.

It's hard to rebound with both feet GLUED to the floor.

Lazy as @$$!

 

[rick64]

Butler must not be able to go long stretches so Perry and Noah getting some PT.

 

[chasingwildcat]

Honestly, Noah has played well every time he’s gotten a chance, even if it’s been mostly against weaker competition. He hasn’t gotten many opportunities so far, but, he has knocked down a few 3s & hasn’t had any “unplayable” moments, IMO.

He should at least be a regular rotation player next season

Should play more in this season

 

[CatOfDaVille]

If Carr has something serious like a stress fracture or herniated disk as some people have claimed you’d better get them in and get them some experience. Better against Vandy than an Auburn or UT.

I don't think it's anything that serious. They said on the pregame that he would have played if this was a tournament game.

 

[HenryMuto]

I miss how great of FT shooting we had last year and 3 point shooting
