Oweh with Zero FT Attempts last night

[Aike]

Must have been frustrating, considering how many fouls he was getting hit with.

He averages a little over 5 attempts per game. Only other game where he shot none was vs. Brown in December. He also only shot 1 in the loss to Arkansas.

Go figure since Bama made more FT's than UK took.

Silly rabbit only UK fouls.

It’s not like he wasn’t fouled on his drives. They just weren’t being called. Had we fouled Sears like they did Oweh, Sears would have been flopping all over the floor like a fish out of water.

That’s how we know he wasn’t fouled on the three, he didn’t do double back flip.

I haven't watched a UK game on the road in a minute. It's like WWE.

Almost every time Sears got the ball, he was falling or acting like he was getting killed and the refs were calling fouls on us all the time- Oweh was getting hammered with no calls on Bama- getting hard to watch and KY's game was not the only one i watched over the wkdn where the refs had to be betting on the games

Oweh was bad last night. He was solid on defense but had two foul calls that were trash. He was not in rhythm on offense and was forcing it.

He did flop after making contact with our guys, and he initiated the contact.

We drove to the basket 15 times yesterday in the half court offense. We drew one foul (Brea, and he made both FTs)

What is getting more and more infuriating is that the refs don't even try and hide it, there is no repercussions from them being completely biased against us, it was bad early on and has only gotten worse as the season progresses.

 

[BGCATFAN2012]

Somebody get that boy some pop tarts... gotta toughin him up.

Honestly our home games aren’t that far off .

 

[CNJ1966]

That stat is another reason I advocate for less driving to the basket and more pull-ups from 10-12-14 ft

I love CMP and I actually feel like he’s done a phenomenal job overall, but he’s going to have to get tougher on the zebras. The no calls time and time again when we have rim runs is really bad. I understand a little more on the bigs banging around for position, but Oweh was hit hard on 3 different drives during critical moments and 2 of them got Bama out in transition for an easy bucket. I came unglued when Perry was obviously fouled on a layup in the first half with yet another no call. With the amount of money flowing through college basketball these days, the refs need some kind of accountability system on missed calls and bad calls, like a point system that affects pay. Bonuses from the conferences for a low number of dings on the season or something of that nature. Some type of reward system for an excellent job.

I don’t think “getting tougher on the zebras” would make any difference anyway but, he was on the verge of getting a technical yesterday. What more can he do ? I guess actually getting a technical?

Again, love Pope. Hopefully he is getting tired of this poor officiating and becoming tougher with them. I don’t want him to become Hurley, but the refs do need to have it in their mind that he will fight for his guys on these trash calls or no calls.

Just goes to show you how a ref can take a player out of the game.

This is why it's so easy to influence a game as a ref and have zero accountability and 100% deniability.

Step 1: Don't call anything that isn't out right murder, but real fouls, a foul. This happens a few times and it gets in the player's head.
Step 2: Call fouls on said player that are the same ore even less contact than the fouls he himself is being called for. This is going to test that player's mental resolve even more, unfair or not, it has a mental effect.
Step 3: Foul him out, mission accomplished.

He talks to officials pretty much the whole game . He was on the verge of getting a T last night. What more can he do ?
