Anyone watching this game. One of the poorest officiated games I've seen in a long time.

I guess. there were a few questionable calls, but you need to question barnes for letting texas shoot all those shots with 20 secs left on the shot clock in regulation.

I've had the game on in the background because I enjoy watching both teams style of play and have a great respect for Barnes and Pearl. The game just went into OT.

I heard Jay Bilias make several comments about how he questioned some of the calls (including the T that was givien to #5 for UT...I forget his name). I'd have to agree. The officaiating has not been good, think they may have been swayed with how heavily they were booed at the end of the first, carried into the 2nd, and now the Knoxville crowd is just carrying the game.

Those 3s that Lofton made in the last minute were CRAZY. Durrant earned his money with that coast to coast game tieing bucket.

Bilias also pointed out that Augustine kept inboudning the ball and that Barnes sould have someone taller (Durrant??) inbound the ball because Augustine couldn't see. Both are execellent points.

Even on that play, when they showed the replay, Augustin was signaling for a timeout at the same time the ref counted five.

I just felt like the refs were definitely swayed by the crowd. Oh well, that's why I love NCAA basketball, it was a fun game and it really won't affect UT too much down the road.
