I make it a point to not piss and moan about Refs

[Jamal Mercer]

But what the F are we doing here?

That foul on the 3 on Carr? 😂😂😂

Four reviews all trying to find something that isn’t there. One should have been a flagrant 1 on Broome.

This has been a joke. How does UK, one of the storied blue bloods, never get a home whistle?

 

[CASblue]

Absolutely criminal

 

[bucsrule8872]

The call on Carr was atrocious.

 

[ManitouDan]

Takes away what little fun there is left in being a fan .. makes it easy to say “ to hell with it “

 

[Wildcat1962]

3 blind mice

 

[The_Catfather]

Pope will never publicly call out referees or ream them during a game, so nothing is going to change. They see him as an easy target. Not a guy to fear.

I wished you would, and beat it

Especially since I don't have time to stay up past midnight to see the end of this game

 

[Gilead]

Lamont got a flagrant for shooting a layup. You can’t make it up

 

[Tprinceuk]

There's 10 flagrant fouls a game if Butler's was a flagrant, this shit is just getting worse and worse.

 

[TOMCATS1990]

23 Fouls called in the first half is insane

 

[Kentucky fan 1989]

Should we do this?

 

[seccats04]

The refs really suck but Pope is way too easy on them. No emotion whatsoever, just claps his hands. He needs to stay in their ear like all the best coaches do and go berserk the next time a foul is called on a flopping three.

 

[canebreak]

I guess Lamont needs to have his arm taped to his side, so it never goes anywhere it shouldn’t supposed to be

 

[PhattyJ4UK]

Carr call was fine

Idk wtf bilas was talking about but carra right arm literally caught the shooting arm of defender. Was hard to see.

But good lord these refs are absolutely awful.

Never seen them go to monitor to try to upgrade a foul against a team when the flagrant was clear as day against broome. They’re absolutely pummeling us Inside.

Pearl yells when he gets a call. Pope barely says anything when we get absolutely hosed.

That flagrant on butler would’ve been a good time to pick one up… maybe even two.

 

[BigBlueFanGA]

If Pope never loses his crap with the refs, this idiocy will continue. The black ref is in over his head and Lindsay has always been an ass hat.

I may watch Little House with Cal during the second half.

Carr call was fine??? What on earth are you smoking?

 

[sam_o]

I almost never say anything about refs but that first half was TERRIBLE

 

[PhattyJ4UK]

Carr call was fine??? What on earth are you smoking?

Watch the video and don’t just listen to bilas.

It was a foul.

The refs are awful and we’ve gotten several horrible calls.

 

[Gilead]

Just to preserve my sanity I have to put a pin in the fact they went to the monitor and called a flagrant on a guy shielding himself (and his hurt shoulder) going up for a layup. It can’t go on like this

 

[Tprinceuk]

Pope will never publicly call out referees or ream them during a game, so nothing is going to change. They see him as an easy target. Not a guy to fear.

It wouldn't matter, Calipari reamed them all the time and we still got the short end.

 

[Tprinceuk]

4 replays in a half and they were all checking about something on us.

 

[TOMCATS1990]

I think the entire Arkansas team is watching today 16 points with 15 minutes to play. One I repeat one starter has made a field goal so far.

I watched it, you've lost your mind.

 

[The_Catfather]

It wouldn't matter, Calipari reamed them all the time and we still got the short end.

The refs saw Cal as a carnival barker. When Kryzewski lit into refs, you could see the fear in their eyes. I'm not expecting the K whistle but this bullshit has to stop.

 

[UKBrassowTipIN]

Letting someone Shoot an open 3 is a foul

Shooting a layup is a flagrant

Two players playing basketball in the post is a double foul

 

[BlueSince92]

It’s time for AI refs.

Plenty of possible downsides but SEC officials have finally achieved a situation that just could not be any worse.

Mark Pope aint it boys. Time ain't a luxury we can afford.

There have been a few bad calls, but that is NOT why we are getting our butts handed to us. The way we are playing is just inexcusable.

No shit Sherlock. It’s still ok to point out bad calls.

 

[JFCats22]

The refs have been brutal but they aren’t the reason we went 12 minutes without a basket and are getting our doors blown off at Rupp

 

[Aike]

There have been a few bad calls, but that is NOT why we are getting our butts handed to us. The way we are playing is just inexcusable.

Also, you might not believe it, but when you’re barely hanging in against the best team in the country and you start getting jobbed by the refs - might be a little tough to stay focused.

It’s all part of the package.

 

[W1LDCAT22]

Then why b*tch and cry about them like you're trying to hand out excuses?

 

[jwphelps]

We got the same crappy officiating under Cal and he yelled at the Ref's all game long.

 

[ManitouDan]

They have been awful both ways , horrific .

 

[*CatinIL*]

This game will have to break the record on official reviews.

 

[littlecreek]

Pope needs to have a Bobby Knight moment and just go off on those 3 incompetent morons.

 

[Blue_2_the_bone]

Calls are momentum changers. Difference in a 5 point run and a 12 point run for or against you. First half was full of them that hurt us and any chance we had at gaining momentum or confidence needed. A team like Auburn gets a lead and it just compounds. They’re clearly the better team (best in the nation) but we haven’t played well today either.
