The "T" call was not what cost us

[BBBLazing]

Ugoff and everyone else needs to quit blaming our losses on referees. I'm in agreement that the T call was bad, but within the ref's discretion. But every game we lose is not the ref's fault. We could have rebounded tonight, or maybe hit free throws late? Whining does not make us look good as a fanbase.

Go ahead, call me a troll and a UL fan. I've heard it all and am tired of it. If the mods want to look at my posts, look at the one of the guy that kept calling someone an Ahole over and over and didn't get in trouble.

I'll just call you confused, this is the football board.

Wrong board friend ?

 

[BBBLazing]

definitely.

 

[ram1955]

definitely.

Wrong board but right thinking.

 

[Cats192]

I disagree.

We did some things very poorly. But coming out for your 2nd game in 3 days AND on the road can donthat to you.

In spite of this, we were primed to steal it back. We grinded it out, forced OT. Played it close in OT.

If no T is called-- Humphries makes one or 2. That potentially changes how A and M approaches the last play. More importantly, Humphries is out there instead of Skal.

 

[screwduke]

I agree that it didn't technically cost us the game, but if that T is not called its highly likely that we win.

I simply asked for the rule that covered the T that was called. BTW if you want to say we lost due to poor rebounding, fine but remember there are two sides to that coin. You can also say that we hit enough shots to win.

Now sober up and get my name off your filthy keyboard.

If we didn't get the 'T' we win the game. UK had other deficiencies in the game but the technical foul did cost us the game. It's over, time to move on.

[sound defect]

Troll, UL fan.

 

[crawfords corner]

UK had the game won after all the bad rebounding and whatever other BS anti-UK reason you frauds want to say. TV Teddy never hesitates against UK just like last night. Hopefully the Cats use that stolen victory as motivation and turn it in to a long winning streak. Say, about 13 games. That's the only thing that will shut up people like you.

 

[Boneheadblue]

That T cost the Cats the game. Sugar coat it all you want

This is one game where the ref cost UK The game. If we go down and just hit one FT it's 2 to tie and three to win. If we hit both you have to hit a 3 to tie. Instead it puts A&M in a position to win on a 2 point basket even if we hit both FTs.

Didn't we only lose the rebounding by 5 or so?

 

[Primedfor9]

We get the rebound and have the lead with nine seconds left in the game and somehow it didn't cost us the game? Ok whatever

Watching the reply from under goal view... Ref is trying to get the ball, humphries is excited he keeps it and bounces it...ref felt disrespected and made a point of it.
And yes...the ref's hurt feelings cost UK the game!

 

[Chuckinden]

There is always things you can look at that contributed to losing the game, but what Humphries did cost us the game at the end. It's debateable whether is was the right call or not. Regardless, he shouldn't have done it. Even being out rebounded and Skal missing the free throw, we played a whale of a road game. It was amazing to see how we even stayed in the game. If we get Willis back and Murray and Ulis keeps shooting well, we will be tough out.

 

[Chuckinden]

Yes it was 5 total, but we lost the offensive rebounding by 14 and many of those led to second chance points.

Damn Poy for being hurt. And we already know Skal is not as advertised and Willis was gimpy and then went out and Lee had been having spasms.... But we were supposed to out rebound them? Riiiiiight

I didn't say we were "supposed" to out rebound them. I was just stating a fact.

 

[Ugoff]

My point was that there are those who think any team that finds themselves in a close game deserves to lose no matter the circumstances, because it was their own fault that they weren't 10 points ahead. Just a dumb take in my opinion. No team deserves a screwing no matter the score.

 

[Midway Cat]

Nope. Last night's game was decided by Pat Adams, plain and simple.

There's really no need to argue about it. People who disagree are just trying to find another way to rationalize something that was extremely obvious to anyone who actually watched the game.

It's okay, though. I completely understand that line of thinking. Everyone wants to believe that players decide games, etc. With college basketball, though, that's simply not the case at times. This was one of those times.

 

[.S&C.]

What we need is more damn Briscoe jumpers! That doesn't waste possessions at all!

 

[stoneycat_20]

You have to think Hump would have made both FT's he just made two...Now we're up 3 with 9s to go...Best they can do is hit a 3 to get 2nd OT..Not likely..so yeah imo it cost us the game..

Classic post of someone who wants to show off their "knowledge" and his objective they can be.

Everyone realizes that offensive rebounding killed us yesterday. Doesn't change the fact that the technical was a horse crap call from a horse crap official that wanted to show how important he was rather than let the players decide the game.

 

[Blouman]

Right on.

 

[chevyman 50]

You right the T did not cost the game, but it was a bad call, but this team lack of rebounding killed Ky, we would have won the game if we got our share of rebounds..

 

[4UK]

The OP is entirely off base, but I will agree with him in one sense: There are FAR too many UK fans on this board and social media who "cry wolf" all the time. They blame every single game we lose on the officials, and that in turn dilutes the argument when UK actually does get screwed. It turns into a "surprise, surprise, UK fans are complaining about the officials again" type deal.

But, in this case, if you don't think that call -- and that call alone -- changed the outcome of the game you either simply don't know anything about basketball or are just trying to be a contrarian. With the advanced stats they have today, I'd love to see how that single call changed the "win probability" for UK.

 

[mdlUK.1]

Technically it DID cost us the game. 9 seconds left, up one with a chance to go up 3. Even if we miss both Ft's, we're up one and forces aTm to hurry and take a quick shot. I like our odds in that situation.

Ok, how about self absorbed, narcissistic blowhard. If you don't understand how that ridiculous T hurt us, none of us can help you.

 

[Fancatstik]

Yes our rebounding could of been better but that one call cost us the game no matter how you try to unjust it.

Every one of your posts is talking about yourself, inciting negative responses, playing the victim, etc. Just post your opinion and be done with it. Enough with the look at me crap.

 

[irishcat1965]

Anyone can talk about all the reasons we lost the game but none of those reasons are true except the T. It is unquestioned UK led the game when the call was made and was going to the line for 2 free throws.

Sometimes a putz just has to be a putz

 

[catsall]

One of the dumbest statements. Technical absolutely cost us the game. Period

All the other factors got us to that point, but if we go to the line shooting two shots 9 out of ten times we win.

We can blame the loss on a different variety of things but in Isaac's case, all that the official had to do was talk to Isaac and say, Look kid I know your excited and I could T you up. Going forward, don't do it again. Instead, the quick whistle and T. Absolutely Ridiculous.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

For all the "the letter of the law" crowd concerning the technical, If the refs called everything by the letter of the law, both teams would foul out every game. Refs don't call most of the fouls that actually occur, especially in the post. So, spare me the "they had to call it by the book" crap.
