Kentucky fans are sick in the head

[BPGhost]

You're right, no one will be paying closer attention or has been talking about how awful the refs have been this tourney.

You might want to avoid sarcasm bill - like your take on refereeing - you're simply not very good at it. Your belief that "people" (outside of those disgruntled fan bases of SOME of the teams who've lost) are talking about the performance of the officials is as myopic as your other positions.

Maybe get out of the yut echo chamber a little more.

If you believe any of what you just posted then it's you that's in an echo chamber my friend.

Right - I mean there's a ton of threads on here about how crappy the officials have been in the tournament. See how sarcasm is supposed to be done?

Never be able to prove it one way or the other but, I'd bet that more college basketball fans are talking about what classless crybabies big hillbilly nation is - than are talking about poor officiating.

 

[fredburgcard]

I'd like to see one example of someone outside the UK fan base who believes the refs cost UK the game Sunday. The proof the first half was called badly against UK? Four UK players have two fouls at the half while only one UNC player has two. That's proof? One of the UK players even admitted he committed two fouls in the first half. Maybe UK committed more fouls in the first half? UK fans can examine the game tapes like they are the Zapruder film (second JFK reference in the same thread) and pick every play apart. I agree with some of the calls, disagree with some others. But none of them exhibit anything close to a badly called game or even half.

What is absurd. And what this thread started off addressing, was the insanity of threatening people over a basketball game and the UK fan base publicizing personal info about a ref to encourage such threats. That wouldn't happen on this or any other UofL board.

 

[BPGhost]

BTW - Even your fellow idiots on raftards aren't talking about "poor officiating" in any sort of larger context - its all about one guy.

Latest thread is about petitioning McConnell and Paul to "look into the rampant corruption of NCAA referees".

Lulz.

First of all, the proof isn't the total fouls.

The first half was poorly officiated, if you can't at least admit that, then your bias blinds you.
Jeff Goodman is no UK fan, at all, his tweet from courtside was that UK was lucky to be in the game, in parentheses he put "bad whistle".
Fans aren't upset at Higgins simply because of this one game. He consistently has " bad whistle" games when the tourney and UK is involved. I'll agree wholeheartedly that fans went too far.

I don't think the refs cost UK the game, I dont think it's too much to ask for referees to appear competent in regional finals though.

Gosh bill, maybe someone like you - a yut fan steeped in rationalization and false moral equivalencies and residing in the echo chamber within the bubble that is BHN, could explain the term to me.

Where else is it being discussed widespread? I mean without the part about the ridiculousness of BHN's actions as a backdrop?

You posted where on this board, Ghost, that is the epitome of an echo chamber.

It's been all over the media this week, and yes the BBN is getting hammered as well, but that also brings refs performance up as well, because they are linked.
You ever heard the term is the juice worth the squeeze?
I'll bet you a dollar to a donut the refs will be on point this weekend.

I'm not complaining about the officials though genius - I'm simply pointing out what classless poor sports you and your ilk are.

You completely overestimate the impact that fools can have on a legitimate process.

Put it another way.

Has BHN had any impact on NCAA policy related to its officials?

Only in the same way that jumping gets you closer to the sun.

Besides we both know that you don't give a crap about the refs "being on point" unless the yuts are involved.

Why would you think that? I'm a fan of college basketball, I want to see the best team win.

Well UNC was better than uk - so you got your wish.

 

[JohnKBA]

Was the whistle in the first half frustrating? Sure it was. The fact is, UK was only down 5 at the half and had a 5 point lead with 5 minutes to go.

You HAVE to close that out. Just like in 2015, up 64-60 vs Wisky and we have 3 empty possessions in a row with 2 shot clock violations - we didn't deserve to win that game and we didn't deserve to win on Sunday. We had every chance to put that game away and we didn't. Chalk it up as another lesson in endgame coaching and move on.

 

[Bill Derington]

They scored more points.

I have yet to see a pic where he was touching the ball and it was on the rim.

Alright then point to one post you ever made where you criticized officiating that benefited UK. Or do you,like many UK fans, believe poor officiating has never benefited UK?

 

[BPGhost]

They scored more points.

That's what the "better" team does. It's sort of the point and - Spoiler Alert! - determines which team continues to play.

Your welcome.

So two teams played two games in the year, and both came down to the wire, with the teams splitting.

First of all, I didn't said UK never benefitted from officiating, all teams do.

Referee's are human, they miss calls, it happens. They missed about 6-7 in the first half of Sundays game, all against UK, that shouldn't happen in a regional final.

 

[ciswilldean3215]

What? Luke played 25 minutes and scored 20 points and had 2 fouls. Do you even believe anything that you say?

Listen, if any U.K. Fan threatened the mans life they need to be charged with a crime.

Hancock was hooking like a big dog in 14, that's why he ended up fouling out.

That's Bill's problem. He believes EVERYTHING he says, fact or not.

Box score says differently.

Just another example of how wrong you are, as usual.

 

[BPGhost]

Your 'points' are getting weaker by the post.

UNC won the important one - that's the way it works. Not all games are created equal. Perhaps you BHN should ask McConnell and Paul to require the NCAA to make the tournament a bunch of three game series...

I do know, and the stat line posted in the thread is not correct. Only I'm not going to berate the poster. I was wrong, I thought Hancock had fouled out, he most definitely hooked like a big dog in the game.

 

[teamcanada]

LOL. Parallax now. The picture shows the ball on the rim . It's basket interference. So BBN needs to quit whining and blaming the refs but we all know that's never going to happen.

KY fans are trash.

Well of course he did in your mind. It doesn't matter if it's actually true or not. I get it although you probably don't.

BTW, the other poster was a hell of a lot closer to the truth than you were. He only missed Hancock's final score tally by 1 point. You missed his foul count by 3. His memory seems to be clearer. Yours? Not so much.

This was a thread started to criticize UK fans who have taken it upon themselves to try to make a certain referee's life miserable because they disagree with calls he made in UK games.

You hi jack the thread and claim no one can dispute the game was badly officiated against UK. Well I haven't seen one media broadcast that accepts this as a fact. It's not a fact that 6 or 7 bad calls were made in the first half, all against UK. That's your opinion. It's my opinion that Wayne Blackshear shouldn't have been called for a technical for hitting Demarcus Cousins' elbow with his face at the 13 game at Rupp.

Now please go over to the UK board and post that you don't believe the officiating cost UK the game Sunday and that there's no justification to believe UNC cheated and that people who threaten the life or livelihood of a referee are reprehensible. Do that and you'll get a much harsher response than you've gotten here.

If you do that I might have some respect for your opinions.

I liked it too except I thought it Swopeshire's silly head that got in the way of Cousins innocent elbow. I mean seriously, no wonder Swopeshire got called for a technical. He should have known better than to lead with his head when attacking the opponents elbow like that. How dumb is that? No wonder he ended up transferring to Northwestern to get his Masters degree.

The first half was officiated poorly, piss poorly.

The second half was much better.

Of course they did. It's a conspiracy, and the game result was called at halftime. Always works against LPT.
