The officiating was very clever tonight..

The real gripe that I have was the bogus calls on Gabriel and the phantom call on Diallo. The other one was a foul on PJ when Sneed got the rebound and fell to the floor. Looked like he just fell. We still should've won this game. PJ at the line killed us.
The ref who called most fouls on PJ owns several canabis dispensaries in Colorado. His website is reeferee.com
Thank God you can read this board with a standard subscription. This is absolute gold. Excellent cast OP
SGA shot 12 free throws last night. Stop the BS that he wasn’t getting calls. Washington got calls because he was the most aggressive player in taking the ball to the rim. Had nothing to do with the refs saying “ oh he’s struggling from the line and i hate UK/Calipari, so let’s keep sending him so he can keep missing” theory. That is beyond out of this world.
Fouling out 3 Kansas State players in a one possession game is somehow Anti-Kentucky.
While aided by the refs?! You're a ****ing lunatic. UK don't even get home cooking at HOME. Terrible post. GTFOH.
Can't blame this game on officials, hell we shot more FT's than Kstate just didn't make them, plus we did not play well, when this teams struggles in the assist column they get beat every time.
Come on, don't start that $hit that the refs beat us. Their players, doing what their coach drew up as the game plan beat us, plain and simple. When you foul out 3 of their starters, and the other two have 4 fouls, don't blame our loss on the refs. We just got out coached, not the first time, and it won't be the last.
OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!
The old fat guy was blowing his whistle like he was getting paid per call. I bet out of 51 foul calls he made at least 30-35 by himself. He is also the one who called Cal for being outside the coaching box even though Bruce Webber stood 8-10 feet outside of it the whole game.
First, I would say that this is a subtle referee trick that people have noticed for years. Hard to complain about the refs when your team shoots a ton of free throws, but sometimes it’s interesting to dig deeper and pay attention to who shot them, when, and why.
That being said, the bigger issue was that Knox or Richards weren’t strong enough in the post to trade places with P.J. and draw the bulk of those fouls.

That's why I love this place.
Even better, the refs decided to foul out Sneed from KSU in a game that could have went into overtime. You know, the guy that had 22 points and was 5-8 from 3 point line. All to help KSU try and win the game.
The refs didn't beat us BUT there were some really shitty, momentum changing calls last night. The Knox charge on the and 1 being the most crucial IMO. That play right there turned the game on its head. No doubt about it.
Not that it means anything, but somewhere In the game thread I mentioned that PJ would be taking all of our free throws down the stretch.
Now, had we fallen behind by 8 with a minute to go . . . Then, you would have seen Shai or Knox getting to the line.
The foul on Wenyen in the 1st half was an embarrassment to officials everywhere.
I guess you guys don't read the threads. It was already stated and is a fact that a UK player hadn't shot 20 free throws in one NCAA Tournament game since 19****ing61 !! Nearly 60 years ago. That shit doesn't "just happen"..Rodrick Rhodes did shoot 19 in an NCAA Tournament game in 1994..nearly 25 years ago. Again, that shit doesn't "just happen"..people yelling "conspiracy" and telling me I'm wrong or "dumb" and such or whatever..well, History agrees with me and says you guys are the idiots. Read before making yourselves look like even bigger idiots..or look it up.
You guys cry and moan about the officiating even when it does go your way.
I agree with you that the refs interjected themselves into the game and called way too many fouls. But, I don't thing there was a conspiracy against us by calling fouls to get PJ to the line more. K State wanted the game to be an ugly, disrupted uneven game. It was the only chance they had and they got it.
You crying about that 2013 "title"?! Eat a bowl of shit. Or a big of dicks. Combination of both. Whatever you prefer.
All I know is that they sent the wrong player to the FT line at least once, maybe twice. I'm watching it now. @StevieJFTW07 when did that play involving SGA happen?
Here we go again with the referee conspiracy. Those evil referees! LOL! PJ Washington was mugged all night. That’s why Kansas State’s players were in foul trouble. Referees can’t anticipate how a player will shoot. Look, they called 30 fouls on Kansas State. That alone should have put us in the driver’s seat in this game. We lost this game because we didn’t play well, and it wasn’t on Washington. It was on Diallo, Gabriel, and a few other players who weren’t mentally ready. I attended the recent UK-Florida game, and our sluggish performance last night was similar in a lot of ways to our sluggish performance in Gainesville. At the end off the day, this just wasn’t a very good team.
Maybe I've got it wrong and maybe it was Knox that drew the foul. The one I remember was either at the 11, 7, or 3 minute media timeout in the 2nd half. I want to say it was the 7 minute timeout.
Yes, I noticed that immediately. I was just wondering if there was another instance.
I can't buy into this being a plan.. but man, how crazy it is that the second it's known that PJ is going to miss FTs.. he gets fouls called him like I;ve never seen in Cal's tenure. There were plenty of times fould could have been called on other Kentucky players. But nopp.
Not that I noticed but I believe someone else in this thread said that Knox also drew a foul but PJ was shooting the free throws for that foul. I don't know when that one happened. PJ shot so many down the stretch, I must have just not picked it up.
Hey, man..something you said about this last night alerted me to it..so I thought back..and then I remembered an occasion or two where I was almost certain that someone else drew the foul but PJ was shooting the free throws instead.
I just watched it. They sent the correct player to the line. K State player fouled both PJ and Knox on the same play. Ref emphatically pointed at PJ, signaling that he was the player fouled. Just a FYI.
You do realize had PJ not been getting foul calls, you'd be on here complaining about that as well right?
It was all part of their master plan! Foul out their best player in a mad game of bait and switch. Lull the guys into a false sense of security, when in actuality their walk-on they had to sub into the game was really Mitch Richmond’s clone. The refs, Jay Bilas, the Illuminati AND the Russians were all in on it!!!
Ummm probably not, man..because UK would have probably won the game if not for PJ going to the line the majority of the offensive trips down court the last what..5-7 minutes of the game ?
Oh and this “Well history says” argument..you freaking kidding me? Guess what, history says a 16 will never bear a 1 seed either! Hahahaha
Cool, bud. Hahahaha. You're so hilarious. About as funny as..well, I don't know..but you're funny. You got me laughing so hard. Great job.
I will say that the fourth foul on Hami on the free throw box out was one of the worst calls I've ever seen. They got two points out of it. Didn't hear Webber flapping his gums about that one. Douchebag.
