And you have disliked Cal the whole time that you've been here. Are you mad that we don't still have Tubby? Or Billy G?

People don't like to watch games in the 50's and 60's, they want to see scoringI don't think many college basketball fans are even aware of the details of UNC fiasco....
Way fewer stars in college past 1 year (think of hte days when Olajuwon, Ewing, Laettner, even the Fab Five, etc...) You had star power.
Also, the game is called like a complete joke with the refs. The product on multiple levels is way off what it used to be a generation back.
UK fans need to realize that the SEC cannot afford to have Kentucky dominating. Now that the conference has gained some national respect, to allow UK to win in a dominating fashion would kill everything the NCAA and ESPN are trying to do so get ready for a bunch of poorly officiated games.

Wrong, I think he could have coached a lot of important games better than he did that resulted in a loss but I have never disliked cal. Wouldn’t trade him for anybody and you know damn well you have seen me say that very thing before. This thread wasn’t even about cal so do you still have some feelings that you have been harboring that you need to get off your chest???
Nope, I just have never read anything positive from you about Cal, that's why I asked you if you missed Tubby or Billy G.
Maybe it is this year. I'm just going off the Sea of Blue twitter reactions. I didn't take it for gold just relaying info. I would hope to baby Jesus anyone could sellout a 9700 seat gym in a power 5 conference. The part I thought was the best was the guy that said they should sellout Rupp holds that many in the bathrooms LOL.Auburn ticket site says season tickets sold out for season
The flagrant was a terrible call but it did not cost us any points. Auburn did not score on the possession after the free throwsThe only thing I thought was egregious was the flagrant 1...their threes got them back in it.
Great post. What Cal does and what that jack ass Pearl does is night and day . Pearl is a good coach but he deserved at least 1 tech for the game last night and the refs were down right awful. They bought like 5 AU flops .Wow. Comparing Cal yelling at his players to Pearl peacocking on the sidelines and trying to intimidate officials. What a godawful comment.
By the way, since Terrence Jones was brought up. We won a title in his 2nd year, and went to the Final 4 his other year. Cal did something right in Jones two years at UK.
Yeah, I was pointing out the cowardly flopping to @Denim Vest last night. Pretenders. That garbage is killing the game. They all watch Hardin though and his garbage that works (5 straight years leading the league in FTA).Complete f#%#ing garbage.
Pearl told his team during one of the TV timeouts that Kentucky was too physical for them and that they needed to keep stepping in front of guys. Flopping was part of their game plan, unfortunately.
Wow. Didn’t notice that in real time. With the crew working the game yesterday, really surprised they didn’t call a foul on Travis there (even though it clearly was not)....
Shut the F up.I'm sorry, but please take the blue tinted glasses off. Cal is the worst on the sideline during a game. Always yelling and screaming at the players.

It put their best player on the FT line instead of their center.The flagrant was a terrible call but it did not cost us any points. Auburn did not score on the possession after the free throws
I'm surprised the commentators even seen a flop, with all the Dukie/Zion love they kept slurping about
Sorry, I like Pearl.
Kudos to a guy trying to build or re-build program and getting crowd fired up.
It's on the refs to ref the game...Pearl should have had at least one T for being at half court instead of in his box. Floppers should be prosecuted...but I doubt Pearl is teaching that.
Who cares if Pearl screams, so does Cal, that's how they coach...so what.
He was very complementary of Cats after game.
Wrong, the player was bleeding and had to leave the game because of the blood. He was substituted for because of the injury. If not for the injury the center would have had to shoot the free throws.It put their best player on the FT line instead of their center.
It worked when he did it last year... honestly, he should get T’d up for it. Just a complete BS “play”
Terrible call and made by a ref across the court that came running over obviously playing to the crowd.Someone here referenced Cal having to be held back by the players. I don’t think it quite amounted to that, but I believe the actual play Cal was reacting to was the traveling call on Montgomery when he dove on the floor for a loose ball and rolled over to pass it to a teammate.
As I understand the rule, it was a terrible call.
Brice Brown literally stepped in front of Reid Travis at mid court trying to flop a draw a charge.
For some reason I thought if it was just an injury we got to select their foul shooter... that might just be an NBA rule tho.. it might even be an old rule that was change. My badWrong, the player was bleeding and had to leave the game because of the blood. He was substituted for because of the injury. If not for the injury the center would have had to shoot the free throws.
You mean the help of bad calls and Auburn getting extra charity at the charity stripe didn’t help them get back into it?The only thing I thought was egregious was the flagrant 1...their threes got them back in it.
Wow. That's very eye-opening.
I quit watching UK because of tubby and wanted him gone since 2001 and BG, please!!! I wanted cal here starting around 2001 when it was obvious tubby sucked. Because I’m critical of how someone coaches or doesn’t coach doesn’t mean I don’t like them nor want them here. Both tubby and BG fall into that category but certainly not Cal.
Again I call BS. It's in another thread why. But just to restate part of it, in 2002-2003, the Cats were number 1 in the AP, won SEC regular and tourney, finished 32-4 and but for Bogan's injury, arguably could have gone to the Final Four.
But yeah, you're Nostradamus.
And just for the record, Cal made the NIT in 01-02 and lost a first round NCAA game in 02-03 to a 10 seed.
You're just an admitted Tubby basher.
Same thing was literally called a charge last year.. against the same team and the same player floppingAgain I call BS. It's in another thread why.

As for this thread, I did see the play the OP mentioned and no way it was going to be called. The Cats did commit a lot of charges and only once did I think there was a flop.
No reason to bash the refs for the calls they made other than the obvious BS one.
The refs certainly could be dissed for the calls they didn't make. Auburn was clutching, grabbing, holding, hacking and impeding progress the whole second half. Some fouls were called but most were overlooked. The call on the Herro play at the end was a surprise although clearly correct.
We should just be happy over a big UK win and quit worrying about refs and Bruce Pearl.
