That’s pretty much cheating. I’d def send that to someone and ask for explanation.
We have to have the worst collection in the country. There are plenty of bad officials out there, and granted I watch more SEC ball than other conferences, but we have to have the largest portion of those awful refs.
UT getting home cooking on the road.
People need to forget the idea that there are SEC refs. Refs are not employed by a conference. The refs working this game tonight could be working a Big 12 game tomorrow and a Big East game Saturday. Refs at the college level are just contractors who will ref any game a conference will hire them for.
7 fouls on Mizzou and 0 on the Vols to start the second half. And the game is at Columbia.🙄
All college basketball Refs suck its not strictly a SEC thing. I'm convinced nearly all gamble on the games.
You can sit back and let Knecht beat you when we go there or you can take it to him from the get go. Assign one guy starting and one off the bench to be nose to nose with him every second and get as physical as you have to even if you get a T. Make his life miserable the whole day. Sacrifice two guys to do that. Force other to beat you because he will beat you if you let him.
That's a terrible call....I think the official would say he called the hand check on Mizzou first.
The SEC needed UT to win that game.
Looking more and more to me it's gonna come down to UT and Bama for number 1 seed. UK winning out until UT game can add UK to the discussion.

and a UT team that is always known to play physical.
As a side note are fouls on 3 pointers a point of emphasis for refs this year or what. It seems to me that I have saw an abnormally high amount of 3 point shooters getting fouled. I feel a lot of it is due to the Harden effect where they throw a leg or arm into the defender, which isn't part of their normal shooting form, to draw a foul.
Yup. College basketball is unbearable to watch. I never watch other teams anymore when there was a time I'd spend all day watching college bball.
What drives me nuts in college basketball is this, you have teams like Tennessee they are known to be extremely physical. Always hand checking, bumping guys driving, and constantly grabbing. They are barely called for it. Then a team like Missouri who decides they are gonna play the same way except the officials punished them for being physical. Whereas Tennessee is rewarded for it. Makes zero sense.
That’s what’s so infuriating. One team is allowed to do it with impunity, the other team trying to create a level playing field tries to do that as well and is whistled for every hard breath in a player.
It’s not as noticeable for those who do it all the time, those that are new to it can be pretty obvious
A few things...
1. I usually would say that referees often get influenced by the home crowd and that explains some bad calls. But that doesn't explain why Tennessee was getting favorable whistles on the road.
2. I think there are definitely times when expectations affect calls- like when a team is supposed to win big over an opponent but they're losing. The refs seem to give help to the favorite so they can catch up. (that doesn't work for UK, though)
3. The cynical side of me wonders about referees betting games or just being biased for or against particular teams or players. I think UK gets a bad whistle because certain referees hate UK or Calipari. These referees are flawed people like the rest of us, so could they be biased or on the take? Not usually, but sometimes I think so.

It's the $EC where it ju$t mean$ more....money. So then the question becomes what is going to be better for the league, UT go into the tournament as a 2 seed or get upset by a Missouri team with a losing record? Well once you figure that out it makes sense why UT gets the "home cooking" calls despite being the road team.
Same here used to love to watch games. Now I was UK games only
YEP and a post was made about wether a fix was in on games. Boy some people are so niave. just by listening to the announcers before a game i can tell you who will more than likely win that game.
Are they really that bad , or do they have an agenda they are following from the SEC office??? I personally don’t believe they can be that bad on their own. My views are forever tainted by wanting the Tim Donaghy documentary. I know that’s the NBA but he says the league basically told them who to favor.
It doesn’t matter the why, if you watch they are making bad calls. It’s also in a lot of non UK games. Did you see Knecht elbow book his defender at head level and they called the defender for the foul?
I swear Collage officiating is more like judged "figure skating" now a days. Every game is called different, what's a foul one game is good defense in another...
