Officiating

Jamie Lucky giving the game to UNCheats.

We can’t even get a friendly HOME whistle.

5 total fouls and ZERO against Vandy starters is criminal.

I mentioned this earlier this week, look at how Vandy is allowed to literally manhandle/hand check us on every possesion, it is comical the way the game is called on both sides, complete farce. I believe the referee posse can’t stand Cal,

The Refs have always hated Cal, but it went to a new level in the 2015 Wisconsin game and hasn’t subsided since.

Seent it… threw up afterwards

Davis play was unfortunate but that’s a basketball play, if the duke one wasn’t a flagrant that one isn’t, plus Davis was falling down before the contact,

They were also moving on tons of their screens. You can't set a screen and then step out to make the defender have to run farther but they did.

Vandy players setting a screen:

I had two big UK + UNC parlays tonight. Very fortunate. But what is up with the flagrant ones being called on offensive moves this year, lol? Kinda crazy.

Did you win tonight, I won’t some tonight I didn’t bet on Kentucky spread but I got some pic ems, and got Carolina, Iowa st, Texas, TCU, Miami, & Illinois in a parley to win

Oscar got manhandled every time he got the ball.. Being stronger than your opponent doesn't mean getting fouled shouldn't be called. Its insane to watch. Had a convo with my dad about it tonight, I'd rather watch college ball anymore is to watch UK. The rest of it, including a lot of March Madness, is infuriating to watch because of the inconsistency. I'd rather watch the no-defense NBA than watch a hack-a-thon with no calls on one end and then tic-tacky fouls called on the other.

Always does, every game, then he got called for 2 touch fouls when the vandy guys were going nowhere. Wallace did as well

How anyone watches the replay and thinks that's an F1, boggles my mind.
The rule needs another tweak and the refs need more common sense training.

 

[kyjeff1]

Seems like the refs saw Vandy was going to get beat down, so they felt they didn't want to make it worse.
That shouldn't matter, but it does in this sport and especially in this league.

 

[Ryan Lemonds Hair]

It’s bad everywhere, ref’s just called Syracuse for a terrible charge

Syracuse choked but the refs handed that game to UNC.

 

[Ryan Lemonds Hair]

No Vandy starters had a foul! Has that ever happened?

I can't recall that ever happening in my 45+ years of watching college basketball.

 

[TortElvisII]

No Vandy starters had a foul! Has that ever happened?

Maybe at Duke.

 

[K_TIME]

There were some grabs not called and I did see the moving screen stuff at times.

But I loved the game and how it was played.

 

[ftp000]

And keep in mind.. we won, and it was never really in doubt.. so we kind of move on.

But what if this was a loss, with Vandy only having 5 fouls which absolutely is a difference maker? What if this loss bumps us down a seed, or worse, causes us to ultimately miss the tournament.

Officiating matters. And it's far too often Kentucky finds themselves on the **** end of it.

We had tonights debacle. Georgia trying to injure our players. MSU getting bailed out on a 4 on 5 call.. just this year alone. it's too often, and it's been holding us back.

We beat Tennessee at the line. Up until then we were a terrible free-throw team so the refs put us on the line a lot. Since then they're keeping us off the stripe. There is a transparency here that is hard to ignore.

 

[FanofUK]

I really want to know if refs are at least evaluated periodically, I mean what job can you do half way and not at least have someone say something. Even a fast food worker would get some criticism after a bit.

Because they all kiss that POS Higgins ***. And I have no clue why. Refs are a cult. And not even a good one.

 

[bbnkat02]

If I were making 9 million a year, I would be getting a crap more fines for calling that crap out. I know Cal can’t because it could get worse. But dang.
