Go to the 9:00 mark in 2nd half

It’s a true testament to Taylor that he is able to walk let alone play today after the Chris Jones-esque flop he took early in the game yesterday. He went so far as to hold a towel to his “bloody” lip when Thiero never touched him during the scrum for the loose ball.

How about the flail on the rebound when Shiny Bald Guy called a "push" on Reeves, giving him his fourth. I replayed that one 4 times and then 3 more times this morning and there was literally ZERO contact. Total fake.
 
Trey must have fouled Taylor’s hand with his back as he moved away from Taylor to try for the rebound.
I’m rarely like this, but pretty sure “the fix” was on last night.

To me this was the worst called UK game since 17 UNC E8 (Higgins) game.

It's definitely up there.

Even with equal officiating, there was a lot of problems on our end.. but with equal officiating, we're playing today.

That seems to be the difference maker in a lot of our losses.. if the NCAA doesn't try and hamper us, Kentucky will beat a lot of teams, just like we did to Tennessee. But if they want to get us in foul trouble early, and let the other team do what they want.. not much you can do.

Yep, just call it balanced or let them play on both ends. We'd have outscored them and be in the game thread yelling at our team again. Instead, we wait until tomorrow evening to see how next weekend is going to look.

There's no anti-Kentucky conspiracy from the NCAA. There is only a bunch of refs who hate Calipari. He brings this on himself.

I will never understand that mindset. It doesn't make you a good competitor trying to get away with shit like that or fake contact to get calls. It makes you a bitch.

A bitch.

No doubt our TOs and open looks we have them hurt us!!!
But you could see it in our expressions (especially Rob) like what’s the point I can get raped and no foul on them.

That's how easy it is to control games in this era. Refs control every game one way or another

No, he didn't. I looked multiple times and even had my wife - who has no clue about basketball - confirm. They bumped a second before when that #23 came around and tried to hip check Reeves out of the way, but when he went up for the rebound that wasn't even coming down yet, he flailed forward with his back arched and arms going all nutty like he got swatted with a baseball bat across his lower back.
 
I mean that was a horrible officiated game last right but I would need all my fingers and toes plus some to count how many times their 3 point shooters were left open behind the line last night….

It was a physical game and Kentucky can’t hang. There was no fix. There were alot of bad calls but there was a lot that went uncalled too. In a physical battle usually the weaker teams gets the calls against them because they have to be obvious in fouling to get a rebound let’s say. Pick any individual calls apart you want. This game was lost when cal said it didn’t matter. I bet a lot of you think the refs gave tamu the 8-1 lead to start the game. They got to the rim at will. They nailed uncontested threes like we allowed shooting practice for them. No the refs made some bad calls but we couldn’t stop TaMU to save our lives. We lost the game the refs didn’t lose it for us. It was lost in the first 3 minutes of the game with that offensively deficient line up that can’t even defend.

Some of those crucial turnovers were a result of bad and/or no calls.

Go watch that play again and then reply
 
F*ck Higgins. I don’t care if we ever get a fair whistle as long as I live… he deserved to be called out. He’s a crooked piece of shit. Lot of these officials are gonna be exposed for the criminals they are one day.
Most of the are crooks. 90% probably. I'm sure there is a couple honest ones. Ones who don't place bets on the games they are officiating.

Thiero got by his man. His defender reached out and grabbed him right in front of an official. Completely ignored. If a UK player did that they would call an intentional foul. We were never, and are never, getting a beneficial whistle when Doug Shows is in the game. The other two officials are automatically tainted.

As soon as I saw Doug "Im the Show" Shows I said rot row.

He's on the AM game today so even if we had survived last night there's noway in hell we could win back to back games with him calling the games.

The fact remains that we lost. The zebras on the court were part of it… no doubt, but we have a coach that is inept , chose the wrong lineup all night long. The officials were part of it but the truth is the asshat that coached lost this game.

Yep, I think aside from the frustration, they also tighten up, having no idea what they should be doing on defense.

I'm really liking seeing a lot of posters starting to see what's happening lately. It's a concerted effort against Cal AND UK.

I don’t care about one play. When shep turned the ball over and challenged the guy at the rim he fouled the hell outta him. The refs were bad but our energy was the difference in the game. Get over the officials we aren’t where we are because of them. I get it everyone needs a projection for their anger but between cal and the people who can hold him accountable that’s where the energy needs to go. To bitch about refs plays right into Cals hands.

And honestly, why is "its Cals fault" the answer that some of you are fine to live with?

So because the NCAA doesn't like him it's OK to screw him over? How does that just sit so well with some of you? We should be pushing back on the NCAA, not our coach.. it's their agenda, and malpractice.. not his. Focus your sights to the real problem.
 
What I hate most is a coach who tells his players to flop and flail as part of the game plan. It’s disgusting, shouldn’t be allowed in basketball. Example, when dude acted like Reeves shoved him in the back for the rebound - this should be an auto one game suspension next game after it’s reviewed in office. That’ll put a stop to it quick.

All these betting sites and promos. Getting gambling involved does give hope of fair called games out outcomes.

We well know it can and will happen.

No excuse for Cal's poor performance again though. He's not the killer he used to be.

I saw nothing here at all. Here is Reeve's 4th foul on rebound:

No fix. But one ref… 22 whistles and not one in favor of UK. He just wanted the spread covered. Bonus was our shitting defense

I can tell you unequivocally I haven't been as mad as I was in a game since 2017 EE vs UNC. It was the totality of what was occurring...not just the zebras, but the whole situation. Man was I pissed last night.
