Big 12 officiating is the reason KU is always overseeded and flames out early

[UK till Death]

It's insane the whistle they get, even on the road.

Consequently, they're consistently over ranked and overseeded and lose earlier than they "should".

 

[buckkiller]

Yep dead on!

 

[MrLair]

Completely agree. I've seen some bad calls today.

The fact the rest of the conference is overrated year after year doesn't hurt.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Whitehead again.

Charge on Hield was a joke.

KU likes Whitehead.

 

[The_Answer1313]

No. KU is actually good.

 

[Ugoff]

Totally agree. They get the protection home and away. Somewhere a mid major is licking their chops.

 

[Montana81]

No. KU is actually good.

But they're not that good this year. They've been bailed out in 3 or 4 close games already and been beaten badly multiple times when they didn't get a good to great whistle.

And somehow they're in poll position for the #1 overall seed right now.

That's okay, it'll make their annual march choke job against mid major U all the more embarrassing for them.

Last 11:30 of OU/KU game.

Fouls on OU 9
Fouls on KU 3

Kansas gets the calls @ home, away,
in Siberia - wherever Big 12 games are.
There record is so fictitious. They r a 7 loss team. The Buddy Hield charge call was 1 of the worst ever & it decided the game.

Agreed. Not nearly the same team they have had in previous years.
Tho 20-4 is going to get you a good seed.

Basketball is down this season. Only reason why they are in play for a 1 seed much less overall 1.

So when a team has more fouls than another team, it's automatically because the refs are cheating and want them to win? lol

OU is just not a team that draws fouls. They rank 9th outta 10 teams in Big 12 play in FT Rate

Yeah, If you actually watched the game without KU hate, OU shot 18 FTs to KUs 4 in the first half, KUs point guard fouled out on a three where he never touched the guy, resulted in a four point play down the stretch, OU couldn't hit a three in the first half, OU knocked the ball out of bounds yet got the ball. Right after the Heild charge, they called a rediculous foul on Grahm, which resulted in two Heild FTs. To say KU got a favorable whistle is ludicrous. Just like saying we got the whistle against SC is ludicrous.

 

[Schwagg]

The offensive push off by Seldon, the moving screen that freed up Graham's tying 3, & the horrific charge on Buddy absolutely decided this game.

Big Woodford reserve fan?

The Chokehawk defenders are hilarious.

As if there isn't a literal mountain of empirical evidence backing up exactly what I typed.

I'm not a KU defender, but I watched the game and if that would have been us playing OU with the same calls, most here would be screaming we got screwed. Sorry, just not a fan of blaming all our losses on the refs, and anytime UNC, KU, UL win its because the refs gave it to them. And to say we would dominate KU or OU, also crazy, I hope we don't see either of these teams in the dance. Everyone said OU would blow KU out at home, didn't happen and it wasn't because of the refs. Bad calls both ways, but if you're honest, you know KU didn't win because of that.

 

[Bogansback2Basil]

With all these consecutive titles, 58 or so all-time - and the wins they've racked up - it would still take d-e-c-a-d-e-s for UK catch them in losses...and despite starting the game earlier than UK, they've been trying for decades to catch UK in wins. The winning percentage difference isn't close. Not close.

It's a great regular season record. One of a few that UK doesn't own. Their excitement makes sense. Still...

Head to head and in post season play - the winningest program in the history of revenue generating athletics owns them.

GO BIG BLUE!

You can cherry pick your plays, but just because some, and there were some, of the plays our calls didn't happen down the stretch, doesn't mean it didn't affect the game. If not for all the fouls called on KU in the first half, the game was a blowout

Wow... lol... and you're a UK fan, huh?

 

[Ugoff]

I pray we get Kansas in our region.

Yes, have been for 30 years and that was a typo, supposed to say plays OR calls, but believe what ya want

You might want to do a search and read your old posts regarding Kansas.

 

[KT34]

I can't comment on the OU-KU game as I only watched a few minutes. I think Kansas gets the Duke whistle in the Big 12 games and area, but they don't get it in the NCAA. I've seen several games the last few years at Iowa St., Oklahoma, K St, etc.. where the refs took over in the final minutes and turned a Kansas defeat into a victory.

KU - dirtiest program in history.

Only program in history that was either on probation the year prior to their championships, during their championships, or immediately after their championships.

Just in case someone missed this. Wanted to contribute.
