These fouls are getting ridiculous

How is that a foul on Poythress? Pushing? 6 players under the basket and the call is a push on AP. No wonder our bigs have had foul trouble all year.

Come on, No mention of Poythress getting fouled on his alley oop from earlier? Nobody touched him. Nobody is out to get UK tonight.
 
No need to put a persecuted tone to it, NCAA officiating is awful. It absolutely ruins a lot of games. Including many we all watch and care nothing about. They've got to back off. Some how, some way. All these great athlete's, and some, many even become FT shooting contest.
 
Even Nessler brought up a Georgia-LSU game that had over 70 FTAs. There are just way too many called and it bogs down every single game. It really favors the less talented team, because they can just muck it up and get 2 FTs every trip.
 
Time down the court a foul is called. Its ridiculous what they have done to this game. Its become a free throw contest.
 
I feel like most of refs are just bums they find off the street. Make them look presentable and throw them out there.
 
UT made 13 FTs in the final 4:30 minutes. And yet some continue to say refs play no role in games...
 
Tennessee can't score any other way soooo they give them points with free throws to stay close to the spread

I agree, this is bullshit. The only reason UT is in the game is because they keep getting to the line off BS calls. It's like you can't play defense anymore.
 
Now I know the refs are playing the point spread. We have a guy thrown down trying to get a reb and no call. Then a foul 3 point attempt for UT that the guy never touches him.
 
This is getting as bad as Kansas, you can't even play defense in this game. These kids don't even know what to do. Briscoe just got completely robbed and that third foul on Poy was a head shaker also
 
How the Tennessee coming down the floor in front of the ball handler not considered a moving screen?
 
The refs are pulling a Kansas esque effort here in the second half. I shudder to think of what the Vandy game will be like in Nashville.
 
Thought the same thing all game. Our guy just needs to stand still and take a charge and it will stop.
 
Lmfao.. Amazing at how bad we are at fouls at someone's home.. But on a neutral court its not a problem..

Weird.
 
Whatever.. As I've said the last few years.. Let's just get these road games over with.. Hopefully we can overcome the odds to win a few.. and then WOW.. Turns out we're good in the tournament lol.

I want NO road games in OOC until I see this change. All home or neutral.
 
14 min to go and we have multiple players in foul trouble, it has killed any flow to this game. UT is winning this game from the line literally
 
Even great teams would struggle to overcome this. Not only is Tennessee getting the type of whistle that is starting to make me wonder if college basketball isn't as fake as pro wrestling, but Tennessee is hitting everything.
 
Just watched it 3 times in slow mo and the player jumped for the shot and landed on Briscoe's back and they called a block??? These refs are brutal.

I'm not sure of my opinion of that plan. But I would point out that's EXACTLY Coach K plans....you want a big non-conference game? Neutral site or it doesn't happen with Duke.
 
It's not some fixed beting issue! It's that we have a pro team on the floor and officials feel the need to even the playing field.. It's why other teams can hang all over our bigs and we can't breath on theirs.

If they let these Kentucky games run the course, they'd be embarrassing blowouts. Ut because we have physically dominant players.. They let the calls go.
 
It's pretty bad. I use to consider myself a pretty big college hoops fan. I would watch as many games as I could. Now I can not watch any other games besides UK, and even those are tough to watch sometimes. I'd welcome the change to 4 quarters if it meant less free throws. Nothing worse than just watching a constant parade to the free throw.

Way too many whistles lately. Can't tell if we are just screwing up on D, or we actually need an NCAA investigation.

At this point how can you blame him?
