It was the correct call but has anyone notice that Oscar in games this season has had his hands up around the opponent's head a lot ?
Oscar and the F1 today

Because he’s getting grabbed. A lot. And it’s not getting called. A lot.
He's starting to lose his patience because they are beating his ass to death and nothing is getting called.
I mean, if this was Tyler Hansbrough, he'd have 20 points from free throws alone each game. But our NPOY? Well, unfortunately he's stuck with a coach that the refs hate.
But, he does need to tone it down a bit. Some of his antics are going to end up getting him thrown out, and we don't need that for sure.

All of the above is true. I think the officials allowing players to grab and push him (more than other players) is/has taken it's toll on him, and he's tired of it. By allowing that kind of stuff the refs are just asking for an escalation that happened today, and luckily didn't escalate further (thanks to Toppin).
why wasn't it a f1 when Toppin was knocked the hell lout of
Could have gone either way but UK isnt getting that call, not even in Rupp. They could have called it but I knew they wouldnt.
Comes with being the GOAT.
Oscar has to be smarter than that. He’s too important to let people get in his head and respond the way he did today. That will be in every game plan from here on out if he doesn’t show better composure.
Oscar did okay today keeping his cool, A&M consistently mailed him, pushed held and hit him with several cheap shots, especially that goon they had at center.
I thought for sure it would be, but this is Shows we're talking about. It was clear to me that the kid had no intention of making an actual play on that ball. He intentionally used his entire body to hammer Toppin, knowing full well it would not be that obvious. But we all know he knew exactly what he was doing.
just what I told my wife and daughter
I said in an earlier thread thier center is the biggest goon I have seen in SEC since zRicky Blanton
I promise you they planned to hold him running up the court hoping for what happened.
Say what you want about Cal (and I've said plenty), but at least, at LEAST he doesn't put up with or encourage that kind of bully ass play in his team. We don't see our guys grabbing, hooking, or anything "sneaky" like we've seen other teams try to pull off, at least not regularly or in what appears to be a "theme". Maybe they get frustrated and have a moment, but they don't make it part of their game.
Two games in a row our guys have elbowed and been whistled for it. I believe Reeves done it in crunch time in a game or so ago.
Man. Every person has a breaking point. Ever play like the poking game with your parents were you would just se what the line was? That’s Oscar right now. He’s sick of getting hacked to death. Yes he needs to maintain his composure but I get it.
I have to say that number 34 on A & M is one of the dirtiest players we have faced in a while. Grabbing Oscar and Toppin at every chance. Going thru the lane was dangerous, as he lurked and awaited his chances. The play on the other end is what started the push mess that Oscar got caught for by giving him a small smack. If you could re-play it, the refs didn't go back far enough to see him grab Oscar on the missed shot, and O got caught retaliating.
Yeah, he has to stop doing that. It is going to cost us one of these times.
That call on Reeves was terrible.
Actually I think they did. Marble was assed a common foul and a technical.
The problem was if they had called it right the first time both players don’t get a T.
Yeah he has a bad habit of keeping his elbows up high.
Exactly, Oscar gets beat down most games. He rarely gets the amount of calls he should. The other night when he had 37 he did, that’s the output he would have if they called him correctly.
Yeah I used to like Buzz. Snappy dresser and tough coach. At one time his name was thrown around for following Cal (years ago mind you).
But Now? I’ve lost some respect for him. He’s gotten a bit punkish.
Even that game, he didn’t get the calls he should have. The breakaway dunk on the steal, the guy grabbed both his arms and no call from the refs. I’d be pissed too.
Never seen a POY so disrespected. Hansbrough and Battier got the benefit of the doubt every time.
It all started when Marble was grabbing his arm running down the court.
He probably should have gotten a second F1 a little later with that elbow up in the neck right before the commercial break. He gets his elbows up in players necks a lot when blocking out and the refs are calling it some of the time. He's got to play smarter with them calling that or it's going to end up costing us in a game.
Why did Oscar not get free throws for being fouled while shooting? I know they called all the F1s but he was pushed while shooting.
It could have been season changing. We were up 6 and Reeves got fouled, which they missed, and then gets called for an F1 on a basketball move.
It would have put the game away with Reeves making both. Instead that game came down to the last minute.
Was probably one of those plays where if he misses then a late foul is called
Cal noted the NPOY in his post game and the treatment he got.
My issue was that Oscar blatantly got pushed while airborne and no F1. That is the definition of an F1.
I don't know if I've ever seen them miss a call and then multiple plays happen and go back 2-3 plays to call a flagrant. WTF? And we're at home. Right call, but strange. Is that even legal?
Oscar is getting slapped around like a $5 hoe and barely gets any calls. I've seen it in back to back games him just get mugged and no call or a call on us. It's BS!

THe kid from Texas AM and last week Plavsic for Tennessee....they were allowed to not just grab Oscar...but on rebounds they don't even look at the rim....they essentially hit Oscar with forearms, elbows, etc...a ton of physical stuff.
I like that Oscar gives it back to these goons.
