Kentucky in basketball is like Alabama in football to the SEC. They must be protected. When Kentucky does good in basketball then the SEC does better. Just like Alabama rarely gets called for holding you will rarely see Kentucky get more fouls called.
It has always been that way and always will be. You will have to beat the refs and Kentucky.
Ask former Ole Miss coach Bob Weltlich about the SEC and Kentucky. His team got screwed many years ago in the SEC Tournament in Rupp Arena by the refs protecting Kentucky.That game pretty much sealed his thoughts that he would never be able to build a championship team at Ole Miss. One year later he was on his way to Texas. Of course, things did not work out well there, either.
MSU will overcome this minor black eye with the bottle throwing. Afterall, no one seems to remember that Kentucky had an entire season suspended for cheating and the roles it has played in point shaving scandals.
