? Because Cal doesn't teach taking a charge ???????????????????????????????????????????????? Ugh .
Hopefully this lights a fire under the guys ***’s so they play with some sort of friggin energy !!!!!!!!!!!
I can't blame the refs when UK got beaten so badly going to the rim on a length of the court play. Plus in real time, that was a hard call to make. UK had no one on the block out because the defense broke down on a 6th grade level. Atrociously pathetic.
Reminds me of the Arkansas buzzer beater loss from 2014.
I hope it hurts like hell. UK needs to consider their own mortality before the Tennessee game.
I still can’t believe that shot by Keldon went in and out.
It was in the cylinder. We know the game.
Guy drives the entire length of the floor unmolested then three Cats go wildly for the blocked shot. Bad.
That's what I don't get. If the ref said it was in the cylinder and we went to OT what the hell would really happen? LSU would report them to the league and maybe a well don't do that again. So much bs it is sickening. Regardless we didn't rebound like we should and it cost us in the last play.
It was in the cylinder dude. It was a goaltend. They blew it when that's literally all one ref should have been looking at.
That moron talking about a rule and dont know you cañt mess with it in the cylinder[roll][roll][roll][roll]
What is that about? You can’t blame the ref for getting it wrong and causing the loss? We met the guy at the rim and made him miss the shot. We did our job. The refs did not.
We out rebounded them by 5 including 2 more offensive rebounds. Poor outside shooting and freethrows cost us this game. And not getting the ball to PJ enough.
length of the court drive to win...jesus christ...
Losing to LSU in Rupp...Cal's gonna get his green room hugs in though, so I guess we'll hang a banner for that...
I missed a good chunk of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show for that showing...they won't **** up MSG and disrespect hollowed ball ground...

(b) entirely above the rim and has the possibility of entering the basket. Check Easy goatending unless youre a Duke mouth-breather
The numbers may have ended up in our favor but when we needed stops to end their run and hold our lead we didn't take care of business.
Then you need your eyes checked. It was in the cylinder. True it can be touching the rim but you can’t touch it while it’s inside the cylinder. Didn’t deserve to win. I have seen people say it doesn’t matter that they blow leads because they kept winning. This game right here is why it does matter. You meep letting teams hang around and come back it will bite you eventually. All I seen the whole second half was a player standing out front pounding the air out of the ball while no one was moving trying to get open. The defense was horrendous. LSU could get anywhere they wanted off the bounce. No effort on that end of the floor in the second half.
I'm not giving the refs a pass, but I refuse to lay the full blame at their feet.
How did they get beat so badly going to the rim? Help had to come over and left the backside rebound wide open. Yes the ref missed it, but that UK defense was atrocious. Three guys had to converge due to the blow by.
The refs failed. So did UK's defense.
We missed way too many free throws and wide open shots. If this team is going to get to a final four, it has to make shots .
Baker can't keep missing wide open shots, Herro and Q can't keep missing and our guards need to penetrate and create. We were lost on offense tonight.
I mean, Keldon was 5-9 from the free throw line and 2 of those were front ends.
The officiating was awful, but LSU adapted, we didn't.

That is true. We allowed them in the lane too much. They got to the free throw line a ton.
There's no way that guy should have been able to drive the length of the court that easily.
No SEC title. This UK team squandered way too many possessions tonight. Every time Hagans shot a three I though, "Well, we won't get that one back."
UT will beat us like a rented mule if we play like this on Saturday.
The numbers don't always tell the full story. I was shocked when you gave the stats because it felt like they killed us inside all night. They were aggressive and battled.
I understand. But these refs don't leave with a loss. There are three of them out there. One should be watching the kid on the drive. One watching the clock. One watching for rebounding fouls and basket interference. We got fu$$ed. At home. After not getting into the bonus until 8 seconds left in half with the road team in the bonus for 8 minutes. What is the review process for officials? How does Tony Greene and his crew keep getting high level games?
I'm in total meltdown mode myself. I get down when UK loses, but I'm losing my **** right now by the way they lost tonight. 3 men just stood there and looked at each other waiting for one to blow the whistle on an OBVIOUS (screw you, ESPN) goaltend and screwed UK players and fans. Hope it was worth it for them.
I'm going to try to stay away from the board until Saturday as well. I don't want to add any more negativity and let the "Farrrr Cal!!!111!!!" crowd have their fun. :victory:
Yeah, this loss just did so much damage. Even if we beat UT, we're still fighting an uphill battle.
Looks like a 2 seed might be our ceiling now, which blows.
Lose Saturday and it's salt in the wound.
It was an offensive goaltend..no doubt about it. It's also ******** that the home team wasn't shooting free throws until 6 seconds to go in the 2nd Half and the road team was shooting them waaaaay earlier. If the ref/officiating apologists defend this, then they clearly have an agenda. UK also missed a ton of free throws tonight as well..that's on them. Still though, we lost this game because we let a midget drive the link of the floor in less than six seconds and then didn't block out. PJ was the only UK player to show up tonight, honestly. And too many times we saw PJ or Travis shooting threes when we should have been pounding the ball inside especially when their bigs got in foul trouble in the 1st Half.
LSU didn’t have to adapt like we did. Waters has zero fouls all night. We weren’t in the bonus until 6 seconds left.
I know we made mistakes. I know if we had played better we would have won anyway. But the refs also had an impact, all the way to the last play. You can make mistakes and also be affected by the refs. It isn’t an either or scenario.
I’m not sure why some people are so adamant about acting like refs didn’t impact a loss. Do you think it makes you tougher somehow? I mean, we literally were denied overtime by a blown call. Doesn’t get much clearer than that.
