Mugging at Bridgestone Arena
- Thread starter twwilliams9
- Start date
physical play? fine. but that wasn’t basketball. and that’s just one instance. every uk player had to walk off pain after a play at some point.
Something is seriously wrong with the officiating man that was horrible
And ogelsby went to call the foul here and then just changed his mind
Swallowed that whistle 🤔
It's funny how there are so many pictures, over many seasons, of UK getting screwed by the refs but a few here still rabidly insist that the refs do not, and cannot, influence games. What does it take to convince some people?
Oklahoma plays thug ball. Really a dirty team.
All about $$$$. The books run the show now
3 fouls on one play and they don’t call it. That’s unbelievable.
and the ref was literally 3 feet away watching it happen. No way UK could have mugged Fears like that though.
One of the most blatant fouls I've ever witnessed!! They HAD to foul, the referees knew they HAD to foul to stop the clock yet we still didn't get that call !!!!!!!!!!!!! My TV almost didn't survive that play.
That and 1 continuation foul on Fears was even worse.
Getting violently thrown to the ground on a “common foul” too. And Chandler getting his eye busted open like Rocky on a shot attempt that resulted in a no call. Then Oweh barely taking a guys chest not affecting anything gets whistled. They tried desperately to make Williams elbow a flagrant when he was just going up and trying to get his shot off. Ridiculous.
But according to a few on this board there was no foul there. LMAO
Anybody claiming it is just incompetence from the refs isn't paying attention
All ball baby! All 3 got all ball.
The Kennedy magic bullet theory is more believable than no foul there.

You’re forgetting that they went back to review Williams elbow after he had already taken the first free throw but then refused to even look at the shot Noah took to the face…
On the Carr foul in the original post: One of the refs is right by that part of the play. He steps towards the ball and raises his hand as if he's about to make a call.
Then Fears comes away with the ball, and he swallows his whistle.

Did they review the play that required Chandler to leave the game due to blood streaming down his face? I don’t think they did. Not saying it was a flagrant but they review damn near everything and when there is obvious evidence of a shot to the head, crickets.
Other trash refereeing:
Chandler got elbowed in the head and was bleeding pretty heavily to open the game. That didn't even get a review.
Oweh got fouled prior to that ball winding up in Carr's hands at the end of the game.
Oweh got fouled bringing the ball up on the next turnover. (They were reaching the whole way up.)
We reviewed a potential flagarant on Williams AFTER he shot the first free throw.
Fears got a continuation, which isn't a thing in college.
Carr got contact to the head AND pulled to the ground. No flagarant.

Texas and Oklahoma can exit the SEC , not a fan of them or their play. Can’t even like them like other schools here and there.
I knew when that was not called a foul we would be in for a rough game. Really poor officiating.
When you are behind in the waning seconds of a game ... THAT'S how you play defense !!!!
You GO GET THE DAMN BALL !!!!
If you foul, that's okay, because you cannot let the clock run without a chance at the ball.
If you foul, you make them hit the free throws and still have a chance to win.
Too often, teams just try to simply foul instead of TRYING TO GET THE DAMN BASKETBALL !!!
1) You might come up with the ball, as the opponent is surprised at what you're doing ... he anticipates your AUTOMATIC FOULING and then relaxes in his possession, thinking he'll be going to the free-throw line.
2) SOMETIMES, like in this case, you will actually come up with the basketball, without fouling ... which is your goal !!!
3) Most all the time, if it is a sincere attempt at trying to get the ball or force a jump ball, there is no INTENTIONAL foul ever called.
The referee swallowed the whistle in this situation, but this is still good defense.
Late in games, when you need to get the ball and score ... GO GET THE DAMN BASKETALL !!
It is amazing how many times in late-game, come-from-behind situations, teams simply play the foul them defense, without making an aggressive attempt to actually get the basketball. Sometimes ... you surprise the ball-handler and actually come up with the ball and head the other way !!!

It's almost like the more obvious they are and the louder UK fans get, they double and triple down and send in another round of the shittiest refs we've ever seen to do our games.
I 100% expect Pat Adams tonight. Or that vampire looking dude with the crows peak hairline. Or Shows or Lindsey.
But it wouldn't surprise me at all to see 2/3 or even 3/3 of the worst of the worst tonight.

Need to see why Chandler's eye socket starts shooting blood because the refs didn't review that for contact. What a joke these clowns are.
Also the foul on Oweh against Fears. That was a no-call if I had ever seen one especially in a game that physical.
During the last 60 seconds of game clock we saw:
Phantom foul on Oweh
An absurd continuation play
No F1 when Carr was taken down by the neck
No foul at all when Carr was gang-wrestled in the corner
SEC refs are the biggest joke on the planet. Total trash.

1. They fouled us on 2 plays and the refs ignored it.
2. That continuation was a joke.
3. Williams bad pass allowed for the refs to start hard-core cheating. As a senior he has to call timeout there or something.
The refs clearly paid the primary role in UK almost losing last night. A foul is a foul no matter time n game.

the refs influence the game on purpose with a goal in mind, it's quite obvious most of the time. I don't know why the media or sec doesn't make a bigger focus on this corruption that's obvious other than the fact they just don't have enough refs to do the job. They do game after game and fly all over cross country one day to the next. They aren't incompetent, they know exactly what they are doing with a goal in mind to push a few points one direction or the other.
Some in the game thread called Carr a pu**y and soft for letting them take the ball away.
HE WAS MUGGED BY THREE SOONERS, GRABBED FROM BEHIND, HAD HIS ARMS HELD.
NO FR***KIN CALL.

Actually, there was no reason to call a TO. He looked over and THOUGHT he saw an open man. Oklahoma player was in the perfect position to intercept the pass. I don't think Williams saw him until it was too late.
Yup, and they don't even have to try. All the refs are gambling on the games they are calling so they are self-motivated to control the outcomes.
