With all the foul trouble Richards and his 10 thumbs are gonna have to step it up in the 2nd half.

WG did once, but he is very weak taking it to the hole.
Hami got drilled on one of his drives and didn't get the call either. Gabriel had position on the rebound and somehow got got called for the foul. The inside game has been lopsided. It is why all of our bigs other than Richards are in foul trouble and their bigs have 1 foul between them.

10 to 6 with us having 10. I believe we have 2 players with 3 and 1 with 2. All inside players. We need to get a big football player type. Tired of getting banged around by them and getting called for more fouls.
1 with 3 (SKJ) and 3 with 2 (Washington, Gabriel, and Richards).

Some UK fans think we should blow everyone out every game every season. It's rinse and repeat there.

If people are freaked out by this, wait til next week when we lose a big lead in the NCAA Tourney opener. This bunch isn't going to blow anyone out from here on out until the season ends IMO. They are too young and inexperienced to maintain focus for 40 mins against higher quality teams like UT.
You do realize the last 6 games we have won were all by double digits?

I think Knox is going to have to take it to the rim and even out these fouls. He has the body to bang with them. He don't have any fouls on him either so on defense, he needs to get in there against there bigs

Green with ill-advised pass.
We get a stop and then Knox dribbles off his foot.
Wenyen leaves Schofield wide open.

This sequence of events changed the game.

I hope we can recover.
These events merely opened the door for the refs to make their move without it looking obvious. Refs know when it is a good time to make the shift to **** calls against a particular team.

Suckytop can't beat us with our lineup on the floor, which is why they've been sent to the bench
in foul trouble in all three games this year - it'd be different if the contact were called at both ends
but when has that happened in this POS conference...BS calls in a BS conference...

Missing 4 of 5 shots, turning it over three times, and playing no defense on UT’s only guy making baskets is what hurt UK. Not the officiating.

While some of that's true, tell that to Wenyen who had legal position, possession and gets jumped on by a UT player, and gets called for the foul.
NO ONE with any bball sense can defend that call. The officiating has turned, and it's obvious. Has happened in every UT game this season with us.

Come on Cats let’s get a big run to start the second half and put them away early.

UT shot 28% in first half. The stat line, otherwise, is similar, except FT attempts. 10 fouls on UK, 6 on UT.

Just play with the right lineup and call timeouts when you need to

This isn't new.

Cal hurts his own cause over stupid things that he's unwilling to change.

I guess it’s the refs fault the UT guy missed a dunk and got his own rebound????
