Epic Screwjob

[BourbonBalz]

Charge on Keldon was unreal. Took away a 3.

This call alone and one other alone would’ve resulted in a W for us. The ******** charge call on Keldon took away a 3 and a 10 point lead. The game would’ve been OVER had the correct call been made.

The other is the blocking call on Travis which resulted in 3 point play by Williams. Williams lowered his shoulder and drove into Travis. It was MUCH more of a charge than the one called on Keldon. Had either of those calls been called correctly, we’re playing tomorrow. Also, PJ was hammered on his last shot when we were down one and the whistles were silent. There’s no judgement in this one. It was without a doubt a foul. We definitely contributed to the loss with the turnovers and Cal trying to slow it down too much, but again, if just one of those blown calls had been made correctly, we win.

Agree wholeheartedly, , brother. I'm really tired of watching this ****. They've taken all the fun out of being a UK fan. Told the wife earlier I was done with it. This **** has been going on for ten years now. We will never get a fair shake as long as Cal is here. I've just come to that realization. Sad but true.

 

[rupp876]

I would agree with several of those. Couldn’t find TR’s last foul

That is probably because it did not occur. It was when GW was on the right block and spun to the goal. RT backed off and was 3 or 4 feet away when GW went up to shoot and the foul was called.

PJs two failed put backs at the end of the game were fouls for Grant at the other end. On our end whistles were swallowed for most of the game.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Conspiracy theorists will say that this game was "influenced" in order to make way for the Auburn vs. UT final with the dramatic storyline of Bruce Pearl coaching against his old team. The powers that be and media love those types of storylines and drama.

Nah, they want three ACC 1 seeds and Gonzaga, then put us on the 2 seed line. We had to lose this game for that to happen.

 

[wildcatdon]

I was hoping Cal and staff might have learned an inbounds play or two and revamped our stand around offense when they went to visit the Belmont staff this past summer. Looks like same old, same old and probably another choke job in NCAa

 

[ScrewDuke1]

Yeah, refs left Bone and Williams wide open for threes.

Terrible post.

I hate the flopping **** a lot but part of me almost wishes Cal would tell PJ that anytime someone breathes on him to fall down like he was just shot. Everyone else does it and gets away with it.

1. B.s. hook and hold double tech on pj changed the game, it was initiated by Tennessee player.
2. Elbow into PJ jaw was a flagrant tech on William's, no call. B.s.
3. One ref was gonna call a charge on Williams and instead choked on his whistle and took a way a foul on Williams and let the other ref call the block on Travis.
4. Keldon was called for a bs charge that took away a 3 from pj.
5. What was the bs technical on the bench on UK,? barnes could have been call for T several times arguing calls.
6. That bs touch foul in Travis when he was defending in the low block against William's. Was just standing there and touched his back.
7. The last spin move on base line on by Williams was a hook and an offensive foul, instead they call the foul on Travis.

I knew it was going to be bad early on when Travis was just standing inside the foul line with his arms straight up, and didn't move. Then Williams jumps into him and they call Reid for a foul. It wasn't a charge, but it sure as heck wasn't a foul. It was a blatant no call, but not in this game. I knew right then the deck was stacked against us.

1. Just a terrible call. There was no need to even go to the monitor. Tell both guys to knock it off and keep play going.

2. My issue with this play is that you can’t call a double flagrant earlier in the game, then rule that elbowing someone in the face is just a “basketball play”.

3. Another terrible call. Why didn’t the refs come together and discuss what they saw. Why did the ref with the charge just back off?

7. Just egregious. Travis was backing away and made absolutely no contact.

And even with all that, UK was up 8 with under 3 minutes left. You can’t give up 18 points in the situation, no matter what the refs are doing.

I agree that the double foul was ridiculous, but PJ has to learn to hold his arms up, and walk away. He had no reason to jerk away as he did. It may have cost us the game. He is going to have to learn to control his emotions.

No dog in this fight, but has UK EVER lost a game that wasn’t the ref’s fault?

Quit hating on the 2 time SEC player of the year.....

Saying we gave up 18 points in the final 3 minutes is a bit misleading. We really only gave up 8. That’s only two threes and a two point basket. The other points came from the line especially towards the end of game when they had the lead.

 

[wildcatdon]

Ben the first foul on Travis was because he didn’t give UT guy room to come down after the shot. Could have been a no call but it was a foul.

 

[wildcatdon]

If Reid had stayed still and stayed facing Williams it probably would have been called a charge.

 

[bigblueinsanity_rivals250340]

I like what somebody else said what if BBN stopped going to the tournaments and 20,000 people did not show up and somebody ask why. You could answer get new refs that don't hate Cal or UK

Our absence is the only thing that will get change. But will never happen. So we'll keep getting screwed.

 

[ubtrapper_rivals103836]

I'm good with most of this but #2 was not a flagrant foul .. Cmon , be serious . GW raised his arms to shoot .. PJ face got in the way .. it happens , its not a foul

The way they have been calling the elbow above the chin, regardless of intent, it was absolutely a Flagrant! GW jumped into PJ and it should have been called.

 

[ubtrapper_rivals103836]

No dog in this fight, but has UK EVER lost a game that wasn’t the ref’s fault?

You're right, you have no dog in this fight, so zip it shut!

Wrong. It was angels on the basketball court!

Not to you.

 

[rick64]

I’ve heard from friends who have UT fans in their family that even THEY think UK got hosed down the stretch.

 

[Irishfan2626]

Worst officiated game I've watched in a long, long time. Completely one sided.

It's like Kentucky hasn't gotten calls for years that have helped them win close games. I realize you are a Kentucky fan, but you can't be this stupid, right?

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Lol **** you. The point is I'm not stupid. UK got hosed yesterday. Everyone on this board saw it. I'm by far not the only one bitching about it. How stupid are you?

Edit: By the way, that very post of mine that you quoted received ten likes so far. I'll draw you a picture:

Meaning, at least ten people that have read this thread are in agreement with me. You're a moron.

You are totally out of your element here. You come to our board with this kind of nonsense? You believe we have actually been aided by officials for years and call a UK fan stupid for not accepting this as fact?
