probably. I was just thinking about how devastating they are when in rhythm and how the whistles are stopping the music. But you're right. At this point it's absolutely killing us.Quote:

4 fouls to zero in 3.5 minutes.
We aren't good enough to beat them. The thing that galls me is it wouldn't matter if we were. The refs squash any little daylight we get. It's getting beyond ridiculous.
Easily the worst officiated game I've seen in a while. I understand calling close, but this is calling incorrectly. I don't understand 50% of the fouls called either way.
29 fouls in 24 minutes
Actually it was pretty good.Quote:

I do not even know what a foul is anymore.
15 points is the new referee window. ****. Those. Bastards!
Kentucky plays like a much more experienced team. Their past few teams haven't played a very smooth offense. They look much more polished this year.
We don't quite have the horses or the defensive savvy to run with them but it's clear why they are a top 10 team
Your right. The first half U.K. Was getting some Ticky Tack fouls also.Quote:

I thought so too. Take away the T and drop in two threess, we're tied at the half.Quote:

But not liking this lethargic second half performance
growing on me now though
Don't feel bad. Neither do the refs.Quote:

Q can't get it going
I want to rip the eyelashes off Missburger
Herard is gone. That really was a foul.
SHIT
Great flop by Kentucky. Would be a T in the NBA.

The announcers getting on the refs now.
This is just getting absurd. The color guy is about to lose it
Even announcers calling bs.
Terrible call on Q by Teddy Valentine.
Musberger's sidekick is getting upset with the calls. He may get fired for criticizing the refs.
No. it was a flop. He barely touched him.Quote:
