Coming off a loss like UCLA, a home game, and the way that we are playing today, we would have beat most teams in the top 25.

Louisville has a Personnel to be really good this year.

First, the sarcasm is typical from a Wildcat Fan who is trolling on a UofL board. UCLA exposed UK for who you are...UK exposed who UofL is. This loss was a set up from all the events that occurred in October. But at one point in the game UK 18 times to the line vs 5 times for UofL...really? The Tech Foul is typical Rupp bs. Lets just establish that UK owns Basketball in this State because its clear to me that UofL can never get a fair shake.

You know, drawing shooting fouls is connected to the kind of shots you take. Kentucky shot 13 three-pointers, Louisville shot 25 - twenty-five - twice as many, and no two were from the same possession. So that's at least twelve extra possessions where Kentucky made a hard drive to the paint and Louisville settled for a jumper. Do you think the Cards get to take twice as many perimeter shots AND get the same number of free throws? Just a nice little bonus for being the visiting team? Also, Louisville shot way more floaters, deep twos, and turnaround fade-aways in the post - contested jump shots that don't initiate contact. Those are all softer, easier, less painful ways to actually make a bucket, but far less likely to draw a foul.

Now, if Louisville had connected on 40% of those attempted threes, that's 21 more points on the board for UofL, and suddenly it's a close game and nobody is screeching about officiating because it's just a difference in playstyles.

For what it's worth, I think the officiating was shoddy both ways. That takeback on the goaltend early in the first half was absurd, as was the double technical, but so were a couple of the charges drawn by McMahon (during the one against Quade Green, Ryan McMahon was literally in full, open-stride run and dove into the ballhandler's path, a textbook block call). Refs missed some slaps in ways that benefitted Kentucky, but they also missed Louisville shoving Wenyen Gabriel straight out of bounds, and promptly handed Louisville the ball.

Louisville didn't get hosed in a fixed game. They shot poorly in a difficult game on the road, and lacked quality post depth behind Mahmoud and Spalding. It happens.

No sarcasm here, Louisville just met a buzz saw today. Now we did play terrible and lose by a few points to UCLA but exposed? Na I don't see that. Now Louisville is better than they played tonight. It looked like they just gave up. Louisville will be fine, just a lil bump in the road, not exposed by UK.

Although I don’t like blaming the refs and won’t today, but the call on Green was because Green lowered his shoulder. That always going to get called. That was a good call.

To bad you blew clowns cant take your own advice.
Louisville had multiple drives in the first half, no whistle.
Only when down 30, did the refs FINALLY blow a whistle on a
Louisville player driving to the basket.

EVERY loss youll have is because of the refs. Remember last year in the KFC Center.
The best was after UNC put your kitties out of the tourney.
It was so bad your fan base harassed Higgins to the point of the FBI getting involved.

A SuCkS fan CAN NEVER lecture anyone about refs.

I never complained once about the officiating last year. We lost because Malik Monk laid an egg, our pick-and-roll defense was cavernous, Adel and Snider shot the long ball above their averages, and Bam Adebayo missed five straight free throws down the stretch. I know this is gonna sound wild, but sometimes in basketball the other team plays well and your team doesn't.

The officiating in the UNC game was heinous. A respectable volume of neutral media commentators called out the questionable stuff (including the game announcers). That said, we lost because Derek Willis and Malik Monk couldn't buy us a three all game long until the final seconds where it became a toss-up. We lost because we played poorly enough to leave the game in the refs' hands. The no-contact foul that sent Fox to the bench was a horrible call, but Fox also had no business pressing like that at half court when he'd already been called for a foul.

But if your basketball experience tells you that a team should be able to take twice as many perimeter shots, in a game where turnovers are even and the other team has the edge in rebounding, and also get even attempts at the charity stripe, then you're new to roundball. For another example, did you notice how many more charges were called on Kentucky? That's a hazard of the play style. Kentucky's players were attacking the rim to a fault. Conversely, Louisville's players achieved dribble penetration and repeatedly stopped ten feet out to shoot the pull-up jumper or a fadeaway. Which is fine, it's a deadly offensive maneuver in the right hands. But it generates fewer fouls. Don't be shocked.

Officiating was bad. It's bad everywhere.
Just wasn't the Cards night.

I'm so tired of BBN coming over to this board trying to be "nice" when the blow UofL out of a game. UofL fans know the fix is in and will NEVER get a far shake at Rupp Arena. We all saw on display yesterday. Cards went to the line 11 times...Cats went 20 plus times to the line. On one of the posts/threads, a Cat fan wanted to justify the free throw disparity due to how many threes that were shot and missed. The only reason why that occurred because when they would drive to the basket...get hacked and no call. I think its just ridiculous that no one recognize it. I have maintained that we should drop the basketball series or move to a neutral site. No Rupp...No Yum Center. And bring in an NBA Officiating Crew to call the game. Last year it was the Refs fault for UK losing...this year everything is fine because UK won. Drop the series...move on. After the Cards serve the upcoming NCAA penalites...then start up again. If UofL wins next year in Football...the All-Time series will be 16 to 15 UofL...drop that series...we don't need UK anymore.

I'm not even mad about this loss. We did nothing up to this game to say we had a shot at winning this game. This team hasn't played with any emotion fir most of the season and they have struggled against almost every tean. We at least got 9 conference losses if not more. To me this is a dead season and I'm ready for the season to be over.
