Officials Took Over

[thedahc]

We played bad but the officials really inserted themselves

Nonsense foul calls on Reeves, bad goaltend that cost us run out layup and crazy free throw disparity.....hate it

I'm not looking for that, but for the life of me can't understand why the SEC takes such delight in screwing over UK.

Has been that way forever.

 

[drcats2013]

Cals incompetence took over. If you support this loser at this point, shame on you.

 

[FiveStarCat]

Yep. We suck but refs love to **** with us. I don’t know if it’s Cal or just orders from the conference but we consistently get a shit whistle

 

[thedahc]

is top of the backboard on that free throw not out of bounds?

Cal definitely doesn't help, but this crap peceded him.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Cal will take all the blame. Not that he's innocent tonight with Wagners minutes..

But this is another game ripped from us. It should have been a win, maybe an ugly win.. but a win none the less that helps our seeing.

SEC said "nope". We played good enough to get the win, but the officials decided the other way.

I honestly believe it's because of a reputation Cal must have amongst officials. It's really the only thing that could explain it.

Robbery

 

[TheDude73]

This was indeed a combination of Cal’s pathetic sub patterns due to his love for NBA draft picks and the refs. LSU didn’t do much to win this game.

COACHING MALPRACTICE

 

[LineSkiCat14]

You know, that thread about Higgins got me thinking. There's no way that was a good look for the fanbase when it comes to officials. If we think the officials can hate Cal (not sure why, he's far from the worst case of a coach laying into the officials).. that certainly can apply to the fans.

I hate Higgins and I love what we did to him.. but it might have hurt us.

 

[Random UK Fan]

This is the ONLY thread every UK fan should be participating in right now.

 

[cats#1again]

This was every bit on poor as refs looking to keep a game close. Bail them out every trip with fouls but beat up on other end
Which is a main reason why it matters very little

 

[UKUGA]

Probably needs a review.


And neither Pasch nor mush mouth mentioned that there should still be time on the clock.

 

[thedahc]

26-12 free throws in favor of LSU

You're probably 100% right. I have no clue how you fix that. That could take decades to shake, possibly.

I'm at least happy to see others seeing the same shit

 

[wildcatglenn]

15 pt lead and the whistles start blowing. Buuuut, still should have taken the W

 

[FitchandMurray29]

Reeves was torching them. Got called for 3 fouls defending screens in less than 5 minutes and the game was never the same.

 

[Big BlueBeard]

Nah man, we’re just an average team. Players gotta make plays. They don’t.

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

32 pts from the line. Swallowed the whistle on Robs 3 and drives.

 

[JumperJack]

26-12 free throws in favor of LSU

Several were phantom fouls.

Makes you wonder.

Our coach screws us more.

Refs and the SEC/NCAA all hate cal. you hear after 2 wins ....when we already had 7 losses his mouth started writing checks his azz couldnt cash ....... Cal gets this officiating. Get cal the eff out of here and hire a coach the refs will respect and we can get some poor officiating but it wont be close to as bad as it is now.

 

[MegaBlue05]

They got Reeves out of the game in a hurry.

 

[FFWhite]

Taking away the layup on a goaltending call which wasn’t close was criminal. The 3 cheap fouls on Reeves took the Cats out of their offensive flow. 26-12 free throws is thievery. If Dilly gets the and one or Reeves the shooting foul which were obvious in the last 3 minutes it makes a difference.

 

[thedahc]

There are no less than 5 threads dedicated to Cal right now. This thread is about officiating, seriously there are no shortage of other threads dedicated to Cal, jump on in those ones

 

[cats#1again]

Nah man, we’re just an average team. Players gotta make plays. They don’t.

When players drive and no hand check is called it forces a throw up three with defense up on the man. It ruins offensive flow
Refs not calling a bump is the single biggest way to keep a game close.

Stand by your man.

I was ready to turn it off when he got the third

The whole game turned at that point

 

[Mike_Edwards]

Bottom line there are several refs that can’t stand Cal. It’s been going on for years. We simply do not get an even whistle most of the time. Some are subtle and do their best to go less noticed some don’t care and are straight up obvious. We were fouled several times on drives tonight with no call. Reeves three off ball fouls when we went up 15 and he was on fire were pretty obvious. Bottom line it’s not going to change and it sucks. It’s costing us games at an increased pace,

No but , I‘ve sure heard more about that woman’s basketball player than I ever wanted to.

Yep. Even if it wasn’t to “get lsu a win” it was 1000% “get lsu back under the spread” at one point and “make it interesting for the tv network bc we don’t need ppl changing the channel” ….. and then big momma Momentum takes over and the team that was in total control can regain control

 

[Kentucky2022]

26-12 free throws in favor of LSU

Only reason they won

I hate to say it.. but if this is true, that the officials have begun to hate Cal.. you don't want to know how a certain Big East coach treats officials lol.

I think it’s because we are so much better historically than every other team in our conference that they feel the need to even it out a bit,

Has been for years now. Since about 2015.

They do on the road and at home. Still LSU missed 9 FT's and gave us a shot.
