I LOVE going to Rupp Rafters when they lose!Originally posted by Gator Fever:
I don't have any hate towards them but kind of wanted them knocked down a peg after all that talk. Human nature I guess.
They are going crazy blaming their coach over at Rupp Rafters.

Calipari is a great recruiter but he isn't that good of an X's and O's coach. Why do you think he recruits the way he does? He knows he has to have more talent than his opponent because he knows he's not going to win very many in game coaching battles.
9............NNNNNNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE.......McDonald All Americans on the UK team compared to none on Wisky. Calipari and the Gotti hairdoo is overrated.Originally posted by grommit:

It's Kentucky basketball. A turnip could get the best recruiting class every year there. It's the same as USC, the name recruits itself. It's a testament to Calipari's failure and stupidity that he can't get the best talent in the country to win the title more than once in all the years he's been there. Everyone else does more with less than Calipari, UK fans just don't see that.
Yeah, he's the only coach in the country that wants to recruit as much talent as he possibly can.Originally posted by PacoGator19:

So then Kentucky is, what? 7-1 in games decided by the refs this year? Sympathy is not forthcoming.Originally posted by HardeeWildcatFan:
Folks I am no UK BB fan whatsoever but it sure appeared and felt like the REFS had their hands in this game too much and they decided the outcome of it. There was too many BS calls on UK and it didn't balance to UW bs they were doing and weren't getting called.
I didn't care who won the game so take it as a person who was neutral the refs and maybe vegas won this game of UW.
Exactly Cal asked for them to look at the video but they wouldn't. Yes the UK player who smacked the UW player should have gotten a flagrant 1 but I swear the REFS and even the announcers were for UW all the way.Originally posted by cockydev:
Even while watching the game live, the shot clock violation was evident.
And if they really were as dominant as their fans and the media made them out to be, refs for or against them wouldn't matter.Originally posted by MJWilliamson:
Both Billy and Bruce said UK was beatable if the refer did not favor the Cats. They were right.
Those weren't white boys. Didn't you listen to the post game interviewOriginally posted by HardeeWildcatFan:

I guess we all can say that WHITE BOYS can play basketball after all?

Frankly I don't care, but what I do know is if UK did get screwed in any way by the calls against Wisconsin it was only that karma finally came back to bite them after an entire season of gifts. 13 separate times this year they were down by double digits in games, and the refs managed to hand them the win by overwhelmingly uneven trips to the charity stripe in their favor.Originally posted by HardeeWildcatFan:

I think the refs were just bad in general, I don't think they were trying to eff UK though. There were 3 terrible calls down the stretch and 2 of them benefited UK. They had the flagrant foul where Lyles literally punched a guy in the face and only got a Flagrant 1. Then they had the charge on Wisconsin's PG which negated a 3 that put them up. And in that case Wisky's point guard was called for a charge on a 250 lb. center, I mean c'mon. And then there was the goaltend which was obviously wrong. I think because the goaltend was so blatant people keep focusing on that but they were bad throughout and UK benefited from some key calls down the stretch as well.Originally posted by Dannygator1989:
Come on ooz, they lost by 7 because they had to keep fouling and those guys just weren't missing free throws.
Refs purposely going against Kentucky simply doesn't make sense to me though because the tatings probably just got cut by half of what it would have been with a Duke vs Kentucky final (which many people had in their brackets AND hardens back to Christian Laetner...who has been promoted by the media a lot this month).
Oh, and Vegas had a melt down with that loss. If anything, I would look into if those refs had a vested interest, because the game went oddly.
You realize that this game was shown on 3 different channels...1 with UK announcers, 1 with Wisky announcers, and 1 that was neutral? You may have been watching the cheesehead version.Originally posted by HardeeWildcatFan:

Nobody was pulling harder for Kentucky to lose than Vegas. They had all kinds of futures bets out there and stood to lose a ton with a UK victory. Even the local bookies were sweating that one out.Oh, and Vegas had a melt down with that loss. If anything, I would look into if those refs had a vested interest, because the game went oddly.
