these ref's absolutely suck!

I actually think the way they are calling the game has helped Kentucky play D by a vast amount today. So not sure why people are complaining the only complaint from me is that Carr block and that goal tend. We would have been called in past games for several of the plays on D that these refs did not call a foul on. Would you rather that ? I know a few times a defending has used his body to stop the drive and no call and that 3 pointer they shot no call when I am sure in other guys that been 3 FT's
 
Those are big boys. Let them play through some contact and if there is no advantage/ disadvantage situation stay away from blowing the whistle. I actually like the way the game is called so far.

The state of basketball in general is utterly disgraceful at this point.
It is.

I even figured the crew would give us a Rupp Arena Saturday afternoon special.... Help out the underdog cocks to "keep it up" long enough to satisfy the TV audience. UK "pulls away" late.

Ugh

Nothing about that sounds good to have to endure.

But as long as we win... Hey. It's a step in the right direction in a season that has been rejuvenating for me.
 
The T sends me over the edge. Fishback said he made a “gun” which is clearly not true.

Brandon was making a three - his fingers were spread. If you can’t make a three sign with your fingers there would be 50 techs a game…..
 
We win by 23. They shot 10 more Ft’s than we did. The goal tend on Oweh, the Carr foul, the T on Garrison. Not to mention every time we look funny at somebody a ref is running at one of our guys to give them a lecture. A truly oddly officiated team we have. A conspiracy theorist might think the league has an agenda.
 
Goal tend in the 1st half was a joke, clearly blocked by JR first then this stupid T with all the jawing going on. Again, reds think we are there to see them & no accountability is the problem.

Player technicals should be extremely rare in today’s game. They are professional athletes making millions. Let them trash talk and celebrate….its how every pickup game is in any city. As long as it isn’t chesting up or physical contact, who cares

I think he was mimicking a gun. Almanor even did it back to him when he went to the bench. Hate the call or not Garrison had already been warned (maybe even twice) earlier in the game.

I’m so sick of teams shooting more FT’s than us by wide margins at home. You can’t tell me we always play like that and never enough to have an advantage.

Ayers thru a guy out this week for tapping his head like Garrison did today. He gets away with it so he makes a fake gunshot sign. Plain and simple stupidity.

One of the glaring issues I have noticed multiple times this year is what is a traveling violation? I've seen teams swap pivots twice then do a step thru!
 
sec officiating is by far the worst in the country
only thing comparable maybe a Kansas home game
 
The play they reviewed for the “hook and hold” where Carr went to the floor…

By the time they actually blew the whistle, I thought the foul was on Carr. However, if you watch the replay, the SC player (Pringle maybe?) had a handful of Carr’s jersey, which is what ultimately lead to Carr pushing/fouling.

I hate that dirty rugby crap like that.
 
Not to mention, I am not sure why so many illegal screens are allowed…the screener is either moving OR they set a screen by extending their arms and pushing the UK defender.

That’s ridiculously easy to see AND call, but it seems like EVERY team does it to the Cats constantly. SC wasn’t as bad today as many of the teams in the SEC have been.

Instead, so many fans just want to say, “Man up/fight harder!” However, why can’t the other teams just be forced to play within the rules?

Clemson game comes to mind.
