I called before the game. But nobody wanted to listen. Show's is a ut fan plain and simple. He as good friends he's in contact with that are huge ut fans

At the beginning of the game when I saw Shows on the floor I knew we were in trouble. Some very bad calls. Fla. & Travis both got screwed today.

That streak was 0 if you factor in bench warnings. And that tally is probably as high or close to the technical tally.

Here’s a post with a video where Jamie Luckie is giving a seminar.

https://kentucky.forums.rivals.com/threads/jamie-luckie-and-kentucky.263353/page-2#post-6804184

Here’s what he says about Shows, “Doug Shows is . . . the same, all the time. Coaches rarely mess with him, 'cause they know what they're gonna get. But he has also hit John Calipari and hit Billy Donovan . . once you do that, the other guys, they stay out of your way . . . .”

I find it telling that they refer to giving technicals as “hitting”.

Worst anti-UK bias of any official, and it's openly known. Why does he get to even DO a UK game with the way he feels about Cal & UK? We need to have a mechanism to boycott these drunk *** cheating officials, or nothing will ever change.

So i guess that's why it always stays the same....

Yeah,from the 2:58 mark Shows turned the ball over twice in a row against pressure high school guards could break. Shows gave up 3 wide open threes. Shows played like he has never seen a zone defense. Shows missed free throws. Yep, that Shows dude really screwed The Cats.
Hmm...wonder if any player fouled out with a totally ******** call around the 2:58 mark.

Hit our free throws, we win. That issue is a main one with Cal's teams.
Cats up 67-60 with momentum and the ball. Johnson drives, jump stops, passes out to PJ who drains a corner three. But no, UT flops with minimal contact and some ref thinks this is a great time to kill that momentum, calling an offensive foul against Johnson.

Could have been 70-60 with under 5 to go, but this opened it up for UT to pick away at the game, and the refs decided at that point that it was time to shut it all down.

A team like UT doesn't just explode for 18 points in under 3 minutes, especially not against a defense like Kentucky. One of these days I am going to graph the frequency of fouls in a 40 minute game to prove there are unusual, unexplained spikes in the fouls at certain times in the game. I would expect there to be some odd correlation appearing between scoring "comebacks" and foul frequencies against the team "choking".

Refs don't make the shots for the teams, but they do manipulate momentum and have the power to remove key players with foul trouble. Last night we saw that first hand.

Blaming others for your failures sure does cover up your own shortcomings. I am going to start taking this approach with my wife and boss and see how well this theory works in practice

East Tennessee residents/people know that more than anybody in the World. Lmao !!

We aren’t talking about East Tennesseans in this case, and that was a nice attempt to shift the spotlight after a losing effort by another Loaded Cal team.
Lol at this narrative that cal always has loaded teams that lose, its such a terribly uneducated take and honestly doesnt make any sense. But i wouldnt expect anything intellectual from a UT fan.
