I definitely lost another level of interest in this sport last night. Between the Goaltend, teams cheating, and Duke getting a charge reviewed.. it's hard to continue to enjoy a sport that's clearly fixed.. or at the very least, protected in some manner.
Kentucky is going to lose out on a see line (or two) because of absurd calls this year.. meanwhile no one aside from Kansas will be allowed to win the Big12..
How do you get excited for that?
just curious what is the motivation? Duke loses to USCjr, Lehigh, and Mercer in the tournament the last few years. Were they not protected then? The charge was the right call, it's written in the rules that you can review that. The goal-tend was not reviewable. It's a dumb rule to pick and choose what are reviewable to me, but it's not some cloak and dagger thing to get UK.
In fact unless you believe that it is all some mafioso scheme and all the games are fixed and the "boss" is just a Duke fan or UNC fan or whatever then the whole scenario makes no sense. Kentucky is the biggest draw in college basketball or right there with Duke. The cats move the needle worldwide in a sport that no one and I mean no one gives a **** about outside of the college sports towns. ESPN, CBS, NCAA they want Kentucky in every marquee match up that means more eyes and by proxy more $$$$$ for them.
Hagans, Herro, and KJ did not play defense last night. We got lazy in the 2nd half and flat out don't have the athletes that LSU has. That's the truth. We lost a game where we didn't play great. We blew it for ourselves, we shouldn't have even needed to sweat out that botched goaltending call.
