Tanner is one of those guys that when he's on your team, you love him, and when he's on the other team, you hate him.

What a player...wonder if he's looking to transfer.

Vandy was all over us and super handsy, then we get called for looking at somebody. That was a very odd called game for a tourney game! If we can survive that, maybe we have a chance against Florida and better officiating!
That was my issue.

As the game progressed, I even posted we needed to get more physical on D because they were allowing it. Then once we did, immediate foul calls.

If you want to "let them play," fine. But let both teams play. Once they actually started to blow the whistle on Vandy, we came back. Shocking, I know. Had the game been called evenly, it wouldn't have come down to the last minute heroics.

Watching Mast try to work pissed me off. Their guys had BOTH hands on his lower back and held him at every step. They were doing that at the top of the circle all the way down to the bucket. We’re very dependent on offense of the refs actually calling fouls because we’re not as physical as some teams. 😕

Yeah the low point (and that's saying a lot) was when Sandfort got tackled trying to get to a pass, resulting in a live ball turnover. Then seconds later, Tanner stumbled over his own feet and the ref emphatically called a foul. Glad he didn't, but I thought Fred was going to totally lose his s*** on that sequence.
