I remember seeing one that was NCSU vs VT I think years ago. NCSU had a flagrant called against them (upon replay the state player never touched the VT players body at all he came in too fast and at a bad angle and spilled out under the basket). They lost a 6 pt lead and lost by 4.

Yeah, that kinda stuff is bullshit.

This also illustrated another issue with basketball officiating. Where a simple play takes five minutes to review. Kills any flow in the game (not that their was much to begin with).

 

[Grover Cleveland]

UK offense is basura.

Not even just contested shots anymore, they're clanking open ones.

It also clearly illustrates how incompetent the refs are. If you need to watch a play for five minutes to make a call how can we possibly believe you are capable of making any call correctly in real time?

First to 50 wins

 

[Fjordson]

Man that was a rough half. Texas ain't fucking around.

 

[cashman]

This first half was pretty much all I needed to see. The fact that Texas can hang around on the road against Kentucky without their best player is pretty huge.

 

[Draconian]

lol at Cal trying to walk off after one question.

 

[truly101]

Im more surprised about the Texas rebounding

 

[NaturalHigh]

What was Aaron trying to do at the end of that half?

 

[truly101]

So UK's 2nd 5 >>>>>>>> UNC's starting 5...yes or no?

 

[Seth C]

What was Aaron trying to do at the end of that half?

Same thing as always. Be the hero. Just like the stupid ugly jumper he rushed without ever trying to pass the ball two possessions earlier.

To be fair, It worked pretty well in the NCAA tournament

 

[Pollux]

To be fair, It worked pretty well in the NCAA tournament

Except we don't need rushed last second shots right now

Luck as much as anything, and it got to his head. Might have even been a factor as to why we lost the championship game. He is one of the only players on this team that occasionally does things that are clearly about him. He gets selfish.

 

[DominoKid]

they should be. i bet their recruiting rankings were higher.

 

[Fjordson]

Yeah, just saw that Texas is +16 on the glass. Crazy.

 

[Pollux]

Looks like whatever cal said at halftime is working

 

[truly101]

This one is almost done.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Not a terrible start to the second half for Kentucky.

 

[Fjordson]

Bench backcourt playing much better than the Twins atm.

 

[Seth C]

At the always. The twins shouldn't play together.

Not sure why we needed to miss an entire offensive possession and Kentucky basket just so Bilas could get some game breakdown in.

The blue team comes back in and the offense dies as the twins just pass the ball back and forth between each other.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Danger time for Texas

 

[NaturalHigh]

My friends were worried in the first half. I told them we would be fine. Guess what? We are fine.

Sam Malone may have to hit a 3 to keep that streak going though.

 

[perfectchaos007]

We got away with poor PG play in the first half, but are getting punished for it in the 2nd half.

 

[vas_a_morir]

My friends were worried in the first half. I told them we would be fine. Guess what? We are fine.

Lots of time left. However, it seems UK just physically wears teams out by the time the second half comes. Especially teams with size, like Texas.

 

[NaturalHigh]

Sam Malone may have to hit a 3 to keep that streak going though.

If that streak ends I may die. It would literally be the first game with no made 3pt FGs in my 26 year existence.

edit: These ticky tack fouls. Man o man.

 

[Fjordson]

Holy crap these refs have been strict on the big guys.

 

[Pollux]

These refs are ruining this game

Four consecutive fouls on kentucky. A couple of them, I just don't know.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Single digit game! wooooooo

These refs are ruining this game

yeah no kidding

 

[NaturalHigh]

Four consecutive fouls on kentucky. A couple of them, I just don't know.

We need to go inside and test the refs on our side to get free throw attempts. Surprised Cal isn't telling them to emphasize it yet.

 

[iamblades]

These refs are fucking ridiculous.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Like that, 18-2 run becomes 0-7. It would be shocking if they fell off after such a commanding start.

 

[cashman]

It's amazing how much Holland has improved from his freshman year.

 

[Fjordson]

Harrisons shaky man.

 

[Pollux]

Harrison really just is the worst

 

[Seth C]

Harrison really just is the worst

Playing their home state. Want to let their fans see them pass to each other.

 

[NaturalHigh]

Their D is the worst. Man it is a hate/love relationship with them. Mostly hate.They never look like they give a shit. Smug as hell.

 

[Seth C]

The last seven minutes are going to be played at the free throw line.

 

[Pollux]

The last seven minutes are going to be played at the free throw line.

We're giving this game away. Jesus.

 

[truly101]

Texas may not win, but they are fighting like hell.

 

[Fjordson]

More empty free throws. Awful.

 

[Fjordson]

This is truly painful.

 

[Pollux]

I was supposed to go out tonight. But if we lose I don't thjnk I can do it. This would be heartbreaking if we blow this

 

[Grover Cleveland]

UConn lost yet again to Yale, dropping them to 3-3.

Is it too late to drop them from the schedule and pick up someone else for that game at Cameron North II AKA Cameronlands? Can't be fucking up the RPI with loser teams, K don't play that.

Cameron North: Madison Square Garden
Cameron North II: Izod Center
New Cameron North: Barclays Center

 

[Fjordson]

These fouls keeping this close goddamn. Stop fucking pushing.

 

[perfectchaos007]

gg UK. Hopefully we'll meet up in March with our PG

 

[cashman]

Texas played good. Having Felix play less will help out A LOT

 

[Seth C]

Looks like WCS helped us survive The Ref Show.

But the bookies sure did win. One point shy of the point spread.
