As a Tennessee fan, I'm not even mad at this loss. GG Auburn. This was a Final Four level game effort wise by both teams, especially on defense. But of course, as usual, the refs had to ruin a great game by screwing both teams the whole game. Terrible calls and a bunch of no calls that went against both teams the entire night. Watching just the highlights here probably won't show you how bad it was, but if you watched the entire game start to finish, you would know.
The refs let the game get out of control! Both teams playing so hard but the refs made a bunch of no calls which caused injuries to players on both teams! Great effort by both teams! I went to school at Auburn but Tennessee played awesome in a tough environment. Hats off to Tennessee! Refs need to go back to refereeing school
As a Tennessee fan I'm mad because the rest screwed us bad. It was the whole game. I realize Auburn got some bad calls. But not in comparison to us. They lost the game for us and I never say that about refereeing I will say that referee is bad. But I never say they lost the game for us they did tonight
Totally agree and I think that will hurt ALL SEC TEAMS, especially Auburn and Tennessee that can be and are physical teams, during the tournament when UT or AU plays a tournament game vs a team from basically any other conference...Although there were inconsistencies they did let the guys play...I will ACCEPT THESE REFS INCONSISTENCIES VS WISHING FOR ANY SEC TEAM (exception being Bama) to play a game called by the EGOMANICIAL DAVID SHAW and there is another ref who is almost as bad but can not think of his name...(Not Valentine...SEC exclusively besides smaller schools/confernces)...
people ask why the SEC is the most physical conference this year, just watch this entire game. horrible shooting, but about 85% of the shots were contested, bodies hit the floor fighting for the ball. the problem is, the way the games are refereed (bad or not) doesn’t translate in the NCAA tournament.
The awareness by Broome at the end. Literally shot, recovered his own blocked shot and passed to Kelly in a second. Thats fast thinking and high basketball IQ
My goodness what a game! I am an Auburn Tigers fan but hats off to Tennessee for an all out effort. This game has the feel of a Final 4/National Championship game. There is a possibility that these 2 teams meet again.
A bruised up Broome still has 16pts and 13 rebounds. Another double double. Auburn needed him for this one. 11-1 vs quad 1 teams. No other school comes close to Auburns resume.
Yeah terrible refs and I hate Jay bilas commentary so much. Cuz he talked about ziegler being smart about his flop , but then said it's a foul when auburn tries the same thing to get a foul or complains about auburn getting away with 1 foul but tenn got away with 5 of the same kinda foul lol. Bilas is a lame commentator
Tennessee fan here it was a good game and auburn def the best team in the nation but we had a chance to win we js couldn’t shot also did anybody see the broom dude walk a mile when he got the ball on the last play
You do realize auburn is 18-1 and They are the # 1 team in the country. They have like 6-8 wins vs top 10 teams. They have more quad 1 wins than any other team in the country and it’s not close at all. To say that both teams are horrible shows you haven’t a clue about college basketball. Both of these teams are top 10 teams
@@jakepadgett5569. You can’t explain basketball to casual fans. They glance at scores and think basketball is always easy to score. How is it that Auburn can score 78 @duke but only 53 at home vs Tenn? It’s called defense. If Duke played at Auburn then they would beat Duke by 15 points. All teams have a day where nothing is falling and we all lose. But there’s no question Auburn and Tenn are both legit teams.
@@italianstallion8317Who’s your team??? Cuz as a Tennessee fan I have all respect for Auburn right now both of us played hard last night we both fought for all forty and I guarantee Tennessee or Auburn beats your team by 15+
auburn guard changed pivots and the missed call kept the burn alive to squeak out the win, bad miss with 1:47 left. these are clearly 2 of the best teams in the country, and hopefully they both make the final 4 cuz either can cut down the nets.
Don't forget about the SEVEN no-calls where Broome would get whacked underneath the rim that favored TN. Honestly, the least the refs could do was screw over TN at the end of the game for how poorly officiated this was for the past 36 minutes of the game. Auburn was getting screwed over and over, but people will only talk about how TN got screwed bc thats the only part of the game that they watched. TN had no business being in this game and refs kept them in it all night
Auburn alum and happy as pie to win but hats off to the Vols. Away to the number one team and it comes down to the last shot. Nothing to be ashamed about. Hate to go to Knoxville under the same pressure. In fact had this game been in Knoxville, not sure sure of a win.
The thrills and the back and forward in this game was electric! a close game. Basketball is a serious physical sport! like they were on the football field. Broome did such an awesome job and not at 100%. Kelly and pettiford we needed that from the freshmen! Zeigler and co. was such tough players in this game.
Florida dominated Tennessee?? What's up with the Florida disrespect, because I don't get it?? Even if we beat them again, you will stick with the same narrative. Tennessee has the best defense in that nation I'll give them that, but that offense is very concerning. And no, it's not because Auburn defense was so stellar (which it is), but this has been a common theme with Tennessee this whole season. And defense alone isn't gonna carry you to being the top two in the nation, no matter how you try to convince me otherwise
@ashwinranji8790 Tennessee and Duke can beat each other on any given day ! Tennessee has nasty clamps defense..would be a great match up...nothing is guaranteed
Good defensive game. If some players quit posing after certain plays and ran up the floor, their team would have a man advantage, which would've helped in this game. Great game, both teams!
Refs missed a lot of foul calls in the paint against Auburn, especially on Broome. The universe had to give it back in the end with the push off. WDE🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
The last possession where Broome just threw the ball away, he traveled and it was clear as day. There was still 4.5 seconds left after that travel, it should have been TN ball with 4.5 seconds left. TN got robbed.
He actually threw it originally but it bobbled back into his hands off a deflection and then he threw it again. Just takes the slightest analysis of the play to figure it out
Not a fan of either team, just came here to say that the officiating for this game was absolutely horrendous. Think it evened out tbh, but they practically handed Auburn the win at the end. Unwatchable
From auburns pov, Johni was probably only 60% of his usual self due to an ankle injury. Pearl has said many times they run their offense through him and when he’s not in, the game plan changes. So how do you execute your offense when your key player can’t execute, but it’s the best chance you have? Also Auburn had the top rated kenpom offense in history earlier this year. These teams are just this good I think.
Auburn has had a crazy high efficient offense the entire season. You can't take their worst offensive game of the year, against one of the top 5 defenses in the country, and say their offense isn't good enough to do well in the tournament. What a ridiculous comment.
😂😂 but let a freshman score 20 points in 18 minutes. And Broome had 20 points and 12 rebounds. Not really "shutting him down". Flagg had 2 more points and 1 less rebound. If Duke loses Flagg, they are done. Auburn proved they can win without Broome. Also, Auburn had just played 3 straight days the week before and then went to Duke and lost by 6. Duke is 5-2 vs quad 1 teams. Auburn is 11-1 vs quad 1 and 7-1 vs ranked teams. We have more ranked wins than Duke has quad 1 wins 😂😂. Thats why we are number 1. We have the best record and resume in the country. We'd beat Duke 8 times out of 10.
😂😂 The only crybaby I see here is you. Aren't coping well are you? What I learned? Tennessee chokes when it comes down to the wire and lost to a defensively worse team. Another quad 1 win, that's 11-1 and 7 ranked wins. Tennessee is what, 5-3 vs quad 1? Auburn is just the better team.
lmfao as much as auburn fans bitched about Tennessee being number 1 without playing anyone good, you'd think they'd win by more than 2 points... at home.... gg we know who the real number one is
@ maybe you’re lost, that same Tennessee team just lost by 2 points ON THE ROAD vs auburn that by your logic should’ve “thumped” us the same way right? No way auburn should’ve been in that close of a game with a team that couldn’t keep up with Florida. Unless again, by your logic Florida is better than both of us. Getting blown out is an outlier vs a tight competitive game between two top teams. But if this game was in Tennessee or even a neutral site. Ut wins. Oh and btw, since we’re nitpicking, we “thumped” the same team yall struggled with last week.. or does that only work when it’s in your favor
@shiiitprolly2590 of course not. And I can play that game too. Tennessee struggled with Texas whom florida blew out. I was just laughing at the idea that you think tennessee is the "real" #1 team. Right now neither florida or tennessee is. The sec is loaded right now, but at this point the only one that has the right to claim #1 is auburn. To claim otherwise is sour grapes
@ no but you did play that game, and I showed you your logic made no sense. My statement was about a previous number one ranked team for 16 weeks vs the current number one ranked team that everyone felt should’ve been ranked 1st all along because auburn played tougher teams. Well auburn barely won .. at home.. any other place Tennessee almost surely wins
@brandieatwell2619 no they couldn't beat them that day. The season is still going on and duke has messed much better since the beginning of the season. Would you bet 500 if they played tomorrow?
Refs out there doing everything they can to MAKE SURE Auburn won that game! Tennessee was up by 4 with 1:20ish to go and refs literally called travel on an obvious grab by Broome! Either you keep calling it or don’t! Tennessee got the short end of the stick
Called a travel on it and the ball was moving towards the floor for a dribble on top of that. Horrible call either way. Announcers called it out on live TV. Said there isn’t a world where that wasn’t a foul. If the officials were held accountable these games would be more fun to watch.
The refs were awful on both sides - no doubt! Definitely missed/made up calls the entire game. As an AU fan, they def missed the hold on Broome and his travel at the end, but they made up for it during the game. Both teams are legit and I love both coaches. Hope there’s a rematch in the Natty, but not before 😅
Auburn may have won but Tennessee played a great game especially defensively, against a number 1 team on the road. And the Auburn players were very classless during this game while the Tennessee players did nothing. Not even mad at this loss
Tennessee is the #1 ranked defensive team by Pomeroy Rankings. Auburn has beat 11 quad 1 teams and 7 ranked teams. Auburn blocked 9 shots and made shots when it counted. Tennessee choked multiple times in the last 2 minutes. Auburn is #1 because we play the toughest schedule in basketball. Plus our best player was playing injured and still had an easy double double .
@@taylorrenee4880 don’t know when I asked if they were best in the country, I was just saying Tennessee played a good game and should’ve won against number 1 on the road
It was absolutely beautiful to hear Jay Bilas crying about the no call on Auburn by the refs that forced the kid from Tennessee to travel. He was blatantly rooting for Tennessee all game clear as day. And then realized his mistake shortly after that moment with the travel and said something like “I have no bias I don’t care who wins” Yea ok Jay, we believe you, but your sportsbook account is a few dollars lighter this morning 🤣
Dude I felt like I was watching the Auburn tigers basketball own broadcasting program the entire game. I don’t think I could’ve heard more about Bruce Pearl and the program if I had tuned into the University’s own radio/tv coverage
That game was so painful to watch because the officiating was terrible. If it’s a foul then call it. Don’t let the players dictate how it’s played or you get a low scoring WWE match like this. I would rather have most of the players foul out than let the game devolve into nonsense like this. I can’t help but wonder if these refs bet on the under. Let them beat the crap out of each other on defense and then you get the low score you needed to win your bet. Tim Donaghy was not an anomaly.
Even when Auburn plays absolute horrendous basketball they can still beat the number 6 team, this team is just different. However, they better clean up the 3-point shooting ASAP or this run isn’t going to last.
Vols played about their worst game of the year and still only just barely missed a win. Ziegler’s 3 at the end was about an inch off. We’re in really really good shape, Vols. March will be awesome
@@TNmountainguyThe Florida disrespect is ridiculous. Florida straight up blew em out, and you are talking about this was their worst game of the year?? Get outta here with that sloppy narrative
wither yall know or not, refs do have a evaluator that goes threw highlights they think are important, foul calls etc during half time and after the game, evaluator has no say over the refs but does give advise, writes a report, submits it to the league.
yes, they can but just not this game. Auburn is one of the most efficient 3pt shooting teams in the country. They have 4 players shooting over 40% for the season.
UGLY game. Both of these teams will be upset in the tournament. Terrible inconsistent offense and shooting. The refs bailed out Auburn. Grab a guy, spin him around, then call the dude for travelling. Unreal
Florida is super dangerous but I'm not 100% convinced yet. Y'all have played only three top 25 teams so far and have lost two of them. That being said, definitely not looking forward to playing y'all in a few weeks.
JUST WAIT UNTIL AUBURN PLAYS TENNESSEE IN KNOXVILLE!! They had the refs helping them out tonight- but won’t be like that in Knoxville!! SO PROUD OF THE VOLUNTEERS!!!
Auburn was not all that impressive. They might very well be a top 5 college basketball team, but they have not shown the dominance that Duke has. I'm completely convinced that Duke would beat the Washington Wizards in an exhibition game. Auburn-Duke in the national championship game would settle the question.
Man I would rather have the no calls and let them play then to sit and watch games decided by a bunch of free throws. This is what’s wrong with sports today, the players can’t show their true strengths without a foul,flag,or penalty…
It’s basketball it’s not a game of strength. I watch it to see a basketball game not a hockey or football game. There are gonna be bang bang plays but these kids needed helmets and shoulder pads out there in this one. 😂
Completely disagree. It’s basketball not rugby. Basketball is a beautiful sport when played and officiated correctly. This was more akin to a WWE match and probably just as rigged. The refs had the under.
Watched the entire game. Auburn was very fortunate to walk out with a W. That no call on Broome that lead to the travel on Okpara with about a minute left was HORRENDOUS and most likely dictated the outcome. I don’t it see if this year with this Auburn team. I mean sure, they are a great team and will have amazing regular season accolades but they’re not a team I’m penciling in to the Final Four. They’ve got upset written all over them this year. As for UT, Rick Barnes doesn’t get enough credit from Volnation for what he does. I’m not sure any other coach would be 17-3 with the roster he has. With that being said, UT has to find someone other than ZZ & Lanier who can consistently score if they want to make another run. Without one they won’t make it out of the 1st weekend this year.
As a Tennessee fan, I'm not even mad at this loss. GG Auburn. This was a Final Four level game effort wise by both teams, especially on defense.

@BradGreen-p7q I can say the exact same thing about UK except Duke can't beat UK, they have already tried and FAILED!!!!
Refs out there doing everything they can to MAKE SURE Auburn won that game! Tennessee was up by 4 with 1:20ish to go and refs literally called travel on an obvious grab by Broome! Either you keep calling it or don’t! Tennessee got the short end of the stick
Called a travel on it and the ball was moving towards the floor for a dribble on top of that. Horrible call either way. Announcers called it out on live TV. Said there isn’t a world where that wasn’t a foul. If the officials were held accountable these games would be more fun to watch.
Anyone know why Pegues isnt playing any!? Jay Bilas is so Obnoxious, he is as bad as Gary Danielson!
The refs were awful on both sides - no doubt! Definitely missed/made up calls the entire game. As an AU fan, they def missed the hold on Broome and his travel at the end, but they made up for it during the game. Both teams are legit and I love both coaches. Hope there’s a rematch in the Natty, but not before 😅
Auburn may have won but Tennessee played a great game especially defensively, against a number 1 team on the road. And the Auburn players were very classless during this game while the Tennessee players did nothing. Not even mad at this loss
That's Auburn for ya
Tennessee is the #1 ranked defensive team by Pomeroy Rankings. Auburn has beat 11 quad 1 teams and 7 ranked teams. Auburn blocked 9 shots and made shots when it counted. Tennessee choked multiple times in the last 2 minutes. Auburn is #1 because we play the toughest schedule in basketball. Plus our best player was playing injured and still had an easy double double .
@@taylorrenee4880 don’t know when I asked if they were best in the country, I was just saying Tennessee played a good game and should’ve won against number 1 on the road
It was absolutely beautiful to hear Jay Bilas crying about the no call on Auburn by the refs that forced the kid from Tennessee to travel. He was blatantly rooting for Tennessee all game clear as day. And then realized his mistake shortly after that moment with the travel and said something like “I have no bias I don’t care who wins” Yea ok Jay, we believe you, but your sportsbook account is a few dollars lighter this morning 🤣
Dude I felt like I was watching the Auburn tigers basketball own broadcasting program the entire game. I don’t think I could’ve heard more about Bruce Pearl and the program if I had tuned into the University’s own radio/tv coverage
War Eagle now we coming 🎉🎉🎉they not Built like Us
That game was so painful to watch because the officiating was terrible. If it’s a foul then call it. Don’t let the players dictate how it’s played or you get a low scoring WWE match like this. I would rather have most of the players foul out than let the game devolve into nonsense like this. I can’t help but wonder if these refs bet on the under. Let them beat the crap out of each other on defense and then you get the low score you needed to win your bet. Tim Donaghy was not an anomaly.
Nooooo! Why did Tennessee screw that last play up 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Zingler missed the 3 pointer in n out.
Even when Auburn plays absolute horrendous basketball they can still beat the number 6 team, this team is just different. However, they better clean up the 3-point shooting ASAP or this run isn’t going to last.
Vols played about their worst game of the year and still only just barely missed a win. Ziegler’s 3 at the end was about an inch off. We’re in really really good shape, Vols. March will be awesome
@@TNmountainguy vols worst game was florida
@@TNmountainguyThe Florida disrespect is ridiculous. Florida straight up blew em out, and you are talking about this was their worst game of the year?? Get outta here with that sloppy narrative
Tennessee didn’t play well at all either lol what are you on about?
There's no way Auburn shoots that poorly again. The good news is, they can play a bruising defensive game with the best of them and come out on top.
ROLLLL TIIIDE 🎉🎉🎉
Low tide
High Tide! 😂
Best bball record in SeC over last 4yrs 💯 💶 💯
Alabama wins against LSU 80-75
wither yall know or not, refs do have a evaluator that goes threw highlights they think are important, foul calls etc during half time and after the game, evaluator has no say over the refs but does give advise, writes a report, submits it to the league.
Both teams can’t shoot from the outside
They can outside of this game. Elite defense
@ not against Florida they couldn’t
A first for Auburn cause they usually shoot the 3 pretty well.
yes, they can but just not this game. Auburn is one of the most efficient 3pt shooting teams in the country. They have 4 players shooting over 40% for the season.
Make y’all mind up y’all want the refs to decide the game or not
That was exciting, ugly.
UGLY game. Both of these teams will be upset in the tournament. Terrible inconsistent offense and shooting. The refs bailed out Auburn. Grab a guy, spin him around, then call the dude for travelling. Unreal
Let’s be real both teams had the refs help them, they didn’t hand anyone the win
Both teams had horrible refs and both teams are the most aggressive teams out there with good defense…. Both teams will go far in tournament
@@Blazer-1000 Both teams will have a game where they will be lucky to score 50 while the other team puts up 70

It Was Long Over Do For Auburn To Win

Tennessee will go farther than Auburn in the tournament. Mark my words
Ok....I've marked them....for u to be wrong now and wrong again in March/April.
must suck to lose, huh?
I knew this game was gonna be fantastic. War eagle
Just Believe In One other Don't Over Any Team You Guys Play In The SEC
Auburn gym should be named "the flop house"...refs straight up garbage!
You need to put Auburn survived because that's all they did....
Broom you don’t have to shoot everytime you touch it
Are u kidding? He and his clutch baskets is why we won and why we've won all season. If anyone, ur silly sentiment should apply to TP.
The Gators Lurnkin 👀
I’ve been telling everyone that I’m more scared of Florida than anyone else. The Gators are Really Good this year.
Florida is super dangerous but I'm not 100% convinced yet. Y'all have played only three top 25 teams so far and have lost two of them. That being said, definitely not looking forward to playing y'all in a few weeks.
@john_g_henderson we've played all year without are starting center Micah.. well he is back and you will see alot better gator team..
These announcers are so annoying
Auburn finds away?
We found away to listening to you obnoxious mouth
Defensive chess match all the way through
JUST WAIT UNTIL AUBURN PLAYS TENNESSEE IN KNOXVILLE!!
They had the refs helping them out tonight- but won’t be like that in Knoxville!!
SO PROUD OF THE VOLUNTEERS!!!
Auburn had the refs helping them tonight- terrible refereeing
Total crap. Tennessee missed 20 three pointers. Quit crying.
This is the only regular season meeting between these 2 teams. Sorry not sorry #WarEagle🦅
I think the refs helped both teams
Auburn does not play Tennessee in Knoxville. Done. Thank God!
War eagle 🦅 🐅 fear the jungle
Auburn was not all that impressive. They might very well be a top 5 college basketball team, but they have not shown the dominance that Duke has. I'm completely convinced that Duke would beat the Washington Wizards in an exhibition game. Auburn-Duke in the national championship game would settle the question.
Rahter or mot guess what we 1# period lmao how bout that hoss
Negative ball knowledge
the ACC is a weak conference and Duke’s competition has already left them back in November because it was in OOC play, quit the nonsense
@@RobbieStacks90 exactly and auburn is 11-1 vs quad 1 teams. It doesn’t get more elite than that
hahahaha who in the acc is ranked right now? I'll wait. Competition is everything. You have to be trolling with that Wizards crap. Get outta here
Duke v auburn championship game
I don’t like auburn but man… they are the best team. They’re winning it all
Man I would rather have the no calls and let them play then to sit and watch games decided by a bunch of free throws. This is what’s wrong with sports today, the players can’t show their true strengths without a foul,flag,or penalty…
It’s basketball it’s not a game of strength. I watch it to see a basketball game not a hockey or football game. There are gonna be bang bang plays but these kids needed helmets and shoulder pads out there in this one. 😂
Ask the players?
Completely disagree. It’s basketball not rugby. Basketball is a beautiful sport when played and officiated correctly. This was more akin to a WWE match and probably just as rigged. The refs had the under.
So don’t let the players play the game they love,instead make sure you sitting at home what you want
ESPN edits are useless lol they are so horrible
Duke beat auburn earlier, and duke is even better now.
84-78
50 pts is gross, no matter how teams are playing defense. College bball sucks.
You can shut the flip up… college basketball is the best college sport fr
Both of these teams suck 💯
They should be called the Auburn flopsters...no integrity
Tennessee’s offense is total garbage.
So was Auburn's offense periods because both teams are playing good defense
@@scottwhaley4585STFU BRO AUBURN HAS THE BEST OFFENSE IN THE COUNTRY AND IT IS NOT EVEN CLOSE
@@22trem THE VOLS HAVE A GREAT OFFENSE AND DEFENSE!!!
Looks like it’s been carried over from the football team
@@LindaHellier
YOU ARE OFFENSIVE, LINDA😂
Watched the entire game. Auburn was very fortunate to walk out with a W. That no call on Broome that lead to the travel on Okpara with about a minute left was HORRENDOUS and most likely dictated the outcome.
I don’t it see if this year with this Auburn team. I mean sure, they are a great team and will have amazing regular season accolades but they’re not a team I’m penciling in to the Final Four. They’ve got upset written all over them this year.
As for UT, Rick Barnes doesn’t get enough credit from Volnation for what he does. I’m not sure any other coach would be 17-3 with the roster he has. With that being said, UT has to find someone other than ZZ & Lanier who can consistently score if they want to make another run. Without one they won’t make it out of the 1st weekend this year.
Rosaro is a drama queen
