I'm about to get to where I can hear again, all I could hear was whistles. That was terrible.

People think we should hold this team to like 50-60 points? Give me a break. They have a good offense. The shooting percentages are not great for them and the refs have helped them and given them a ton more respect than they deserve as far as FTs. UK is going to put up 90+ in this game with ease most likely and that will be enough.
Officials think they’re bigger than the game nowadays.
I'm convinced they are told by their management to "create entertainment". Completely convinced.
Kind of obvious, but the first 5 minutes is huge. We extend the lead, we hush the crowd and maybe kill their will a bit
We let them make a run, then it will be tight til the end

Refs will STUDY Knox's every move looking for a reason to whistle him .. Mark it down .
Ideally he plays 3/4 of the half. I'm just not sure I start him the first quarter of the half. He picks up a fourth foul before the first TV timeout, then he'll sit most of the half.
I watched the other 2 games today, and just did not see the type and number of fouls called. Maybe I wasn't paying close attention, but I say a lot more bumping and stuff going on with no calls.
Thats just straight up bias. This is more or less human nature I'm talking about.
Buffalo should have 4 guys on the bench but they're giving them more room because they're the little guys. Obvious.
You all about scoring?? Not winning? Please....
Posessions and situational basketball matter bigtime right now.
Honestly, I am always nervous when Knox drives b/c he ALWAYS extends his off arm begging for an offensive foul even on the drives that he doesn't actually push off
Our biggest issue, IMO, is secondary defender going for block every single time. I'd rather see them box out and get the board on most of those
Nope. Definitely not.
They called a ton of fouls in SEC play. The SEC is usually one of the conferences with the most fouls called.
But today it seems to be happening even in the tournament.
But you haven't responded to other facts. You're making up things, labeling them facts and actually ignoring stats like field goal percentage and blocks.
Go down that road. See what you see. Report back to us about 'facts'.
Obvious yes, but spot on.
And the biggest thing is to not let Clark get open looks from deep and to keep playing through SGA on the other end. Do those two things, win going away.
The piece was terrible. And of course biased toward UNC and Duke. Not surprising anymore
Last I checked, 51 beats 42 every single day and twice on Sundays. LOL.
Quade needs to produce in the 2nd half to cut down on the critical foul issues. Some more 3s by Wenyen would be nice too.
Fact is UK is on pace to score 102 points and win by 18. I'll take it son.
Yeah. Good post. The refs are calling a great game. What game are you watching?
That side makes sense as we get to the line alot
But they aren't very good at drawing fouls and we've done decent this season not fouling. So that's where it's kinda weird.
Was anyone able to go back on DVR and watch the play when Richards picked up the foul when the Buffalo player ran over 1 or 2 other guys?
What actually happened? Did Richards foul him before he charged?

If we can stop getting called for fouls, we`re good.
