Absolutely horrible. Just flat out cheating.
Disgraceful officiating

That's the way of the world now. They want those court storms.
It’s bad, but my goodness. Did Georgia miss an open shot the last 10 minutes?
Nah, really good teams overcome that.
Pathetic officiating. We are not playing well but this should be like a 3-4 point game right now.
I think it’s the worst of the year .. horrible
Not really. Teams get cheated by the refs all the time. Realizing there’s not much you can do about it isn’t the same as overcoming it.
I've followed UK since 1966 and I can't ever recall a loss when there were not complaints about the officiating. Yes, it stinks. About half the time there is no contact at all when fouls are called. Merely jumping to contest a shot without ANY contact is regularly called a foul. So when Cal was coach it was bad officiating because of the way Cal annoyed the refs. And now? Win or lose, it would be nice to not have to read these complaints every time we lose or are losing. This team is not hard nosed enough on D nor is it a good rebounding team. Unless those 2 problems are addressed, we will not win 6 straight games against good teams in March and early April.
It doesn’t matter where we play we can’t get a fair whistle.
The thing is we need to start going to basket at least try to go hard
To damn soft some of our guys are

Get used to it. When you don't play good defense, teams will get hot. When you play lazy defense, teams will live at the free throw line.
Notice first 5 minutes - a rebounding foul and an illegal screen called on Oweh. Don’t think they showed a replay on either.
You could call a foul on multiple guys on every rebound, post up, etc.
This was the refs intentionally putting our best player on the bench early. Happens so often it’s comical.

My biggest complaint tonight is the hook/holding/flopping to initiate contact AND the hanging on the rim. Right there are at least 3-4 instances where we would have been nailed in the past.
People who chirp about the refs not mattering have never played a second of serious basketball.
When one team is allowed to play Jordan rules basketball, while the other is forced to play by soft ass free flow rules, the latter will always look like they aren't as physical or playing defense. The truth is they aren't allowed to defend because they are called for fouls.
Our opponents live in our jersey. They slap, hold, push, pull our players out of position, and touch them on shots. No calls. If we so much as breath on them it is a foul, many times a late whistle. That sort of crap will get into your head.
That is flat out biased. Not sure why it is so hard to understand.

Stupid post. Pointing out that the they are cheating is not relevant to whether or not you overcome it.
When you play any freaking defense at all they live on the line and people go to the bench in foul trouble.
Yes, only thing to decide is margin
Should have jumped out to a lead at the start when Georgia was missing and making turn overs. Instead uk missed layups and shooting air balls
The upgrade to a flagrant was enough for me. Yes it was a foul but nothing egregious and now rewarded with throws and the ball.
He slide 7 feet across the floor holding the ball. No Walk. There needs to be massive investigations into this crap.
Insane on the 3. Such a bad call at this point in the game.
Some big time floppin out there and the players know they’ll get the call.. sad..
I hope someone finds and posts their facebook pages. Higgins deserved everything he got and so do many others.
We're not allowed to defend, also fck Mike White he teaches shady ass basketball flopping dumb shit
He has been put on the bench the first 5 minutes in every loss I believe. Definitely was at Clemson and OSU.
As a referee , I have to say that I am seeing a whole new interpretation of what an illegal screen is. Considering that more than half of half court of Uga is initiated on the wing via an illegal screen we have something that uga Coach is running over and over cause refs are allowing it.
On the other hand , Kentucky bigs inability to box out and having to push, or hook is also a factor in poor defense,

They are shoving in the lower back on every rebound and the won't call a thing.
And therein lies the problem. Except for Butler and Oweh, we are far too soft. Unless we're red hot as we were Saturday v UF, it's the same story v Clemson, OSU and now UGA.
This is a classic SEC “get the bubble team a key resume win” officiating game.
Half their points are from the line.
It’s the difference between football and basketball. SEC football has historically protected the top half of the league bc it’s all about bowls and the better bowls pay more so you don’t want to screw yourself out of the playoffs, top tier bowls.
Basketball the league gets paid by “per tournament game PLAYED”. So it pays to have as many teams in the tournament as possible bc every win in each round is worth the same.
Go look how conferences get paid for March madness and this will never not make sense again
