DJ's breakaway

[SloopJohnBee]

From my angle in the La-Z-Boy, it looked like Dakari may have gotten away with an extra baby step on his breakaway basket in the first half. They didn't show a replay at the time, but it was among the abbreviated highlights going into halftime, and I saw it again on highlights after the game.

Each time, it looked like DJ took a little hop before his two step delivery to the bucket. Did anyone else notice, or was it the mushrooms kicking in that made me imagine it?

He may have gotten away with two extra steps lol.

Lumbering bigs get the benefit of the doubt for effort. Seriously though, incredible effort by DJ. I'm sure the ref was too surprised to bother calling anything. Kind of the opposite of when Polson got a rebound, they'd immediately call a foul because they just didn't expect him to be capable of that.

Definitely was a travel, but I guess he surprised the refs with the steal and layup. He picked the ball up and definitely took 3 full steps after it. I guess we deserve a few make up calls with the way our big guys get hammered constantly.

you do realize you are completely missing the point . Of coarse we got more calls as we drove and posted up and you all shot 3's . But every single time a a guy ,especially Dakari , got it down low he was slapped , hacked and mugged , raped whatever . It is what UL does to us and i guess King of the Hill decided it was a good way to try to beat us , which it is .

10-4, buddy.

I just think it's hilarious to have a UK fan whine about the refs. It's beyond myopic.

 

[Orange Soda King]

Extra steps on breakaways are never called lol

Don't you guys have a board for all 15 of you? You should go talk about how young your team is there instead of here because that excuse gets you nowhere. Except beat. This year and next year too

We'll probably beat y'all next year in Memorial.

Sucks that we don't get a home and home this year. UK could use the test too as I know Cal likes to have the Cats as tested as possible before the NCAA Tournament.

 

[SmyrnaCatFan]

Several Vandy travels were not called either so I don't see it as a makeup. More like a lazy or incompetent whistle.

Freidas, just because we shot more free throws doesn't mean that uncalled fouls weren't fouls. You would have had to play the water boy, managers and grad assistants if every foul was called.

We won, yeah! We just have to play through more stuff than teams who play us and it's because we have superior talent we don't have to foul. We get a little frustrated for our players when they are constantly pushed, grabbed and hacked and few whistles result.

I wouldn't care if we shot 50 free throws a few times if it would clean up the paint.

One team drove the lane and posted their bigs.

The other shot inside fadeaways and nearly 20 3-pointers.

I wonder who is going to draw more fouls.

I see what you did there

 

[Kybluedude]

I think the ref let it go when he didn't call the Vandy grab on Dakari after he got the ball

 

[UKCatnNC]

How about the foul before he "traveled"? Go Cats!!

Yes it is. . . but it's no better when a Vandy fan does it.

No doubt, he should have called the foul. I thought it was garbage and gave UK two points. The foul was to prevent the dunk.

 

[ok-cats-computer]

Here is a Video of Dakari's steal and breakaway dunk. I thought that Dakari was going to get hit with a technical foul for knocking the ball out of a Vandy player's hands after the dunk, but I think the ref realized that it was an accident.

Video of Dakari's Breakaway Dunk

 

[IIIBradIII]

He wasn't called for steps because he was pushed in the back. The ref either had to call travel, foul, or just let the play stand - he made the right call.

There isn't enough bandwidth on the internet to start threads about every walk missed in every basketball game.

Can't wait.

Should be fun.

 

[UKWildcats#8]

Of course Vandy might win next year...they have all their guys back and we will have a fairly young team unless some guys come back we are not expecting. Big deal.

UK will go much further in the NCAA Tourney and finish much higher in the SEC.

From my angle at the game, Dakari took a push from behind (two handed middle of the back) before the dunk. The Vandy commie got away with a foul, Dakari got an extra step and a flush. Looked fair enough to me.

NO......what is hilarious is a Vandy fan posting on UK's message board.
