That 1 and 1 wasn't a free throw by briscoe, that was a timely demonic possession. ![roll [roll] [roll]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/roll.r191677.gif)

Let ul fans whine about officials. lets just win regardless and let it die. We are better than that.
When a player swats marcus lees arms, making him bobble a ball, no foul is called.
Has happened to every big since Cal has been here. Every single one has to play through crazy amounts of contact, and then tip-toe on the other end of the floor. I honestly think it's the Lebron effect, almost a way to neutralize physical specimens who would otherwise just dominate games. 90% of college teams can't legitimately stop guys like AD, Cousins, Randle and KAT. But you can stop it by letting teams practically pile-on Randle under the hoop.
This used to infuriate me. I'm just used to it now, and if anything it makes these guys better for it. That's why almost all of our bigs are killing it in the NBA.
"Wait, you mean in this league the entire starting 5 can't just throw their bodies at me? Yeah, I think I'm gonna be fine in the NBA"
why do shows and greene call ALL our games? forget that they suck. wth is up with this crap? they give fast technicals. we have maybe the best coach in the country. it's totally conflicting. they actually make the games less entertaining.
maybe i'm getting the names mixed up for the actual worst now. i know adams has made quite an impression, before that it greene. i guess ayers has overtaken shows. i haven't followed ayers. i just know that shows or greene or both seem to call all our sec games. anyway it feels that way.Last night it was Greene and Ayers, 3rd time we've gotten that pair this year.
I don't think Tony Greene hates us. I actually don't mind seeing Greene out there if we are favored by 3-4. When we are a double digit favorite, he has much more room to operate. Allegedly.
Ayers seems biased. He's among the worst.
at rupp when they take things to a boiling point we usually are the victors either way yes. at rupp a lot of greene's calls actually get the crowd involved i've noticed.It's also made so much more incredible is the fact that we keep on winning all these basketball games regardless of what these officials have always done to us !
I say : "Let's just go ahead and beat the other team and the ref's TOO !"

Green officiated the Duke game - and did really wellLast night it was Greene and Ayers, 3rd time we've gotten that pair this year.

I think Cal is a big reason, unfortunately. Part of it is that so many in the league, NCAA, and media hate him, part that he IS putting NBA talent on the floor every night, and part that he doesn't point fingers at the other team and berate the officials (ahem, Coach K) when there's a foul*.
If we had that beautiful man-child Brad Stevens, "doing things the right way", utilizing Blue Collar players, we'd probably be fine. Or maybe Cal should just berate the officials more, like K does. Definitely works.
*I never understand why his attitude DOESN'T give him a better rapport with the officials. He almost never blames the refs, and immediately scolds the his player. Meanwhile Coach K and others go off on the officials weekly, and they take it. Coach K is the equivalent of that 1st grade parent who blames everyone else when their kid bites someone. Cal hold his kids accountable. How do teachers (refs) not side with a parent like that?**
**My analogies are weird, just go with it.

I agree, Ayers is the one who seems to have an agenda
Beat everyone by 20 and no one will care about the calls.![]()
There has to be corrupt ones, they couldn't be that bad without a reason.I totally get the mentality that we can't do anything about the refs, so just play the game.
I also get that crooked refs love that mentality.
Since I'm an observer, not a participant, I guess it will be fine if I point out corrupt/incompetent officiating.
Murray actually didn't do anything this time. Briscoe was the one pushing. While Ready and Tyler bumped into each other, it didn't look intentional but Tyler took it that way and pushed him first. IMO Ulis started it and was in the wrong on this one. He almost always keeps a cool head but didn't on that one.
I didn't quote you. Don't know why you felt the need to reply like I was talking to you.Who is "WE",I spell it right,although I have misspelled other players names plenty,it's not a big deal on names as most are never spelled as they sound and most posters understand who is being referred to.
Tasteless comment. Please delete. You seriously compared having cancer to foul calls in a basketball game? Delete this crap.So Owl, Do you tell cancer patients they should of had better genes?
Didn't know the game was actually play completely perfect or lose and be a pile of trash
Wish they would rotate the referees between conferences. I am tired of watching the same crew game after game. It does appear that some have agendas and dislikes for either Coach Cal or Kentucky.
