On paper, it’s the ugliest look for the SEC. Tennessee basketball joins the Kentucky Wildcats in falling one game short of the LSU Tigers for the SEC regular season title. Both of them lost to LSU on incredibly controversial calls.
Then the Vols lost another game at the Auburn Tigers Saturday, ending their chance to share the title, thanks in large part to another incredibly controversial call. To make matters worse, the controversy surrounding Tennessee’s loss to LSU involved a documented LSU fan refereeing the game and calling a significant number of fouls in favor of LSU.
