Clemson is garbage

Their gym was packed and officiating horridly one sided. Despite their "extremely physical" defense, uk was the team who had guys in foul trouble. It was absurd.

You have to wonder if it made a difference that the sec was undefeated in the challenge to that point.

Clemson sold out their little arena for our game. Place was a desert when they played Mempiss.
Put those side by side and it's Exhibit A for the difference between teams hosting Kentucky and just about anybody else. That's why some kids aren't ready/willing/able to handle the pressure of being a UK basketball player. You get that every night, as opposed to many gyms that feature COVID-era crowd levels when hosting someone else.

If you re-watch the game and just look at the various non-calls and officiating specifically - which is easier to do when you already know the outcome - you'll be horrified and convinced that crew was helping Clemson.

That said, UK fell victim to the road environment and the offense was just horrendous. Cleaned up a lot since then.

Comparative scoreboard watching is the dumbest thing, especially when failing to factor in home vs away.
 
That game was stolen from us. That is all.
That loss meant nothing to the people that can actually see what is going on... Refs make road games next to impossible. We were beat to death and that changes everything about a game. Same thing happened in the first half against Duke. 2nd half was called completely different. Refs are instructed to call a game a certain way and that controls the outcome
