*****Texas A&M @ Kentucky official game thread*****

[ala_kat2]

Somebody has to drive the ball to free up shooters. Butler, Oweh?

 

[CatPhight]

A&M with 4 fouls? Pathetic $EC

 

[Digger-Cat]

How does aTm only have 5 fouls? How?

 

[HenryMuto]

FAWK from 11 to 6 just like that WE NEED A SCORE HERE

 

[Seth_C]

Just because a player falls doesn't mean the defender was the reason.

It does if it means they can call a foul on Kentucky. It’s why the refs skipped middle school to go to ref school!

 

[darkshadesofblue]

This game feels like it should be long over

 

[EliteBlue]

You misinterpreted your underlined part. Once the ball contacts the backboard, even if it's still on its way up, it is then considered to be on its downward flight.

—-Not arguing just continue discussion—

That’s not a misinterpretation. It’s written in policy legalese but…

If the ball hits the glass above the rim it is considered in downward flight.

The caveat of “chance of going in” implies that the ball has to contact glass above the rim to then go downward and have a chance of going in.

All caveats have to be met. What they called would be the same as if a shot was clearly falling 3 foot short and someone jumped up to get the ball at the highest point and they called goal tending claiming it was a shot attempt and still above the rim


Meanwhile, they shoved their whole arm through the cylinder and shook the whole backboard and it wasn’t whistled. One was obvious…the other is a bad interpretation of the rule

We have 9 fouls at home compared to their 6.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

9 fouls to their 5.

.. and we're at home.

This makes me just that much more impressed that were 2-1 in SEC and able to even win games with this officiating.

 

[NociHTTP]

that guy standing at the end of the A&M bench:

 

[ala_kat2]

A&M guards are bigger and faster. Giving Butler fits.

 

[FirewithFire]

Butler is going to need a lake sized ice tub after this game.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Butler is tough as nails

 

[NociHTTP]

Butler trying to get his.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Butlers gonna get hurt man.

And buzz seems determined to make it happen.

 

[bbncal02]

Missing FTs. Giving up easy baskets.

Damn it.

Got to drive it and make them foul. Can’t stand around waiting for an open three.

 

[wldktz8]

How does A&M ONLY have 6 fouls this half?

 

[ManitouDan]

Have we just decided we aren’t running offense anymore tonight?

Yeah I noted that , several possessions where we have very little motion and the shot clock ticks ticks ticks .

 

[HenryMuto]

JFC ANOTHER OFER FROM THE LINE

 

[Digger-Cat]

Oh goodie, more missed free throws

 

[ukfan117]

We just can't keep huge leads or hit our FTs when they matter like right now.

 

[The_Answer1313]

Williams has been very good tonight.

 

[*CatinIL*]

Ugh...missed FTs! 🤮

 

[kennyskywalker34]

Will Butler be able to walk tomorrow?

 

[mrjuk]

Butler u arse

 

[clew84]

4 points left at the line.

 

[kyleb740]

Gonna be a miracle if Butler can get through this season. He takes a lot of hard hits

 

[bbncal02]

MAKE FTS

 

[TriCountyCat]

Kerr get well soon

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Amari saves us there.

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

that's a hand to the face

 

[TheBlueMist]

Free throws and rebounds
Free throws and rebounds

Someone should elbow him in the face and see how he likes it. Little baby would be on the floor crying.

 

[jwphelps]

Still haven't figured out where the foul was on that one. How many FT's has TAM shot this half.

 

[ukfan117]

Our center's have better FT percentages than some of our guards lol

 

[gharding07]

Williams can make em, Butler can't lmao. What a world.

 

[55wildcat]

Dykes is very hard to listen to after 3 minutes

 

[*CatinIL*]

Nice block then a score! Nice

 

[Warf2012]

ZERO EXCUSE FOR the shit free throws. Free throws will win or lose a game everytime.
