Do the refs work for Nowell?

Even had we won I still would have thought that was the worst officiating game I've seen so far. And they were crying for Duke what about the midget a 90% free throw shooter going to the line on a clear pass in a one point game.
Once every 8 or 9 years I feel that the officiating is outwardly bias. Today was the first time in a long time that it was obvious.
It was absolutely horrid. Awarding K state players out of control to get an and one and 3 free fts. And 2 no call technicals for slamming the ball down!!! Unreal
Yeah, that ball slam immediately brought back memories of the aTm game.
It is on Cal
He is literally the worst coach in all of NCAA
He is just being exposed more now

Gerry Pollard doesn’t like Cal. He slams him in this article, where he’s also called a close friend of John Higgins.
Veteran referees like Gerry Pollard miss the NCAA tournament too — for more than one reason
Gerry Pollard was poised to officiate in his 18th consecutive NCAA tournament. He'll miss out on the experience — and up to $20,000 in earnings.

Didn’t think it terrible. We were in the bonus with over 11 minutes to go.
Outside of the trash when they called his attempt to pass a “shooting foul.”

Agree the last time it was THIS bad was the UNC game to go to Final Four the Bam, Monk and Fox team we were gang raped that night, they did way more than enough to take away what momentum we had. Kinda makes you wonder if its Vegas controlling them or Nike we haven't done anything since the Cal-Phil Knight problem.
No but they do work for the NCAA. You know the same NCAA that our coach has bashed for 10 years or so now.
Would’ve been in the bonus before the first commercial break if they would’ve called even half the fouls that occurred.
Regardless, this UK team had been bad all season. They weren’t going anywhere.
Refs absolutely had a lot to do with today's game.
They waited an entire half before calling fouls. Wallace trips in the backcourt...nothing.
Head butt to the rim for KSU....nothing. A review proved it! That was not a basketball play.
It doesn't take a dozen mistakes to make a difference.

Honestly I blame Cal and some of the UK crazies for our ref issues. I've never watched a game where Cal didn't complain to the refs from start to finish. I can easily see how he'd get on their bad side. It's also not far fetched to say the way our crazies handled the UNC E8 loss hurt us with ref bias. They are like a fraternity, so we may not get the rooferee but we do get his buddies.
It was obvious Pollard had an agenda. That article explains and reinforces that.
They were somewhat decent up until a certain point in the 2nd half (outside of the fat ref mean mugging Cal after every whistle). Crucial blown calls that hurt us in a tight game. The Toppin phantom foul on Nowell on a 3, Wallace no call while we were up 1 (should have been 2 free throws), and the “foul” on Nowell when he was clearly passing and it gets ruled as a shooting foul. Turnovers and Reeves/Toppin not showing up is what ultimately cost us.
Bunch of cry babies, we shot FT’s early in second half. At one point is was 7-1 fouls, our favor. Quit crying, take the beating. K State is better.
Anybody who doesn’t understand the way the refs manipulated the end of that game is either a) not very bright, or b) a troll
We trailed heading into half time.
So, when KSU was racking up fouls early in the 2nd half, lo and behold, we went on a run and took a decent lead! Imagine that!
Then, KsU got more physical, the calls slowed and they go on a run. Wow! Imagine that!
That short twerp was gifted 5 free throws today he didn’t earn. He hit 4 of them. And it helped turn the game around. Imagine that!
It is possible for a) the coach to be bad, b) the players to mess up, and c) the refs to be terrible and crooked.
The mutual exclusivity crowd fails at critical thinking time and time again.
“Hey ma! We missed a shot. Coach is stooopid! If make all are shots, we wud wind. Can’t blame zebras for that!”
Cal had one team that was so talented that it was able to overcome the corruption. That’s it.

Beating? We led most of the game, lmao. We shot 13 of 17 from the line which is solid.
And LOST. K State was awful from 3 most of the game, they shoot better than they did on most nights. Play that game 10 times and K State wins 7. Better players, better guards, better coach.
I'm not arguing we are a better team. But we should have won that game, especially if Reeves hits ONE OR TWO 3's.
No our HC needs 5 MJs to win and then he'd still struggle.
And Johnson for them was bad, what if he’s on in this game, then it’s not close, K Atate by 10-15. We are not good guys, we all need to quit making excuses and get better.
Johnson wasn't on because Toppin shut him down. He struggled with height while at Florida too.
Bad game planning hurt us. Ware and Collins on the floor at the same time. No zone to stop the little guy getting where he wanted. Offense design to shoot long jumpers
What also hurt us, was the officiating late. Higgins buddy was awful in the first half and passed it off to Burdette in the second half. Cal made several comments about the no calls and was correct. Burdetee missed the obvious foul on Wallace and also called the "shooting" foul for KSU.
Both things hurt and cost us big in this game.
I’m
Gerry Pollard didn’t cost us the game, let’s be honest, our team plays for themselves, this **** show will continue. We don’t have the IT factor anymore and honestly we just aren’t that good anymore.
And let me add that I think this is the way it will always be for Calipari. He is always going to get a questionable whistle in tight games, and it is going to cost him.
He's been berating refs for a long time, and he is not well liked for other reasons as well. This ref fraternity is a real thing, and there's no reason to think they don't look out for each other and occasionally screw Cal.
Unless he has a team that wins every game by 20, he won't win another natty.
In other words, he is never going to win another natty.

Exactly, our fans whine and cry about Redding when we shoot blanks all game. Oscar fouled all game and wasn’t whistles. Face it guys, we are not better than K State. They have better college players than us. And Coach Tang is the real deal, he would win big here, I’m talking national championships.
There is NO SUCH THING as “over the back.” How many times do you have to be told this.
