NCAA seating and refs

[FL2287]

As long as the NCAA puts UK in the hardest bracket every year, and have to play 5 on 8.
UK won't win many championships. It all comes down to greed.

We played a great team that went on a 12-0 with 5 min left. It's not a conspiracy.

We have bad seats

You don't know that any more than those who say there is a conspiracy.

We let it slip at the end, so you're right. However the "refs screwed us crowd" is also right. That first half was beyond blatant

If you don't think Higgins was chosen for a specific purpose then you're legally retarded.

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

It's the only way they can slow this train down, so looks like they're doing it.

 

[SemperFiCat]

I do agree about the first half officiating being horrible. Still doesn't prove any grand conspiracy.

For a solid 20 minutes, every bad or questionable call went against 1 team. That should be statistically impossible. Our luck isn't that bad...

Where were you sitting? Our team had a bad seeding as a number 3!

 

[BigSexyCat]

The tournament seeding for UK has been total BS for several seasons. Even national writers have picked up on it. UK fans should be upset.

they went on a run yes but the refs really helped that run with what i believe was their biggest call/no call of the game which happened in one sequence and gave unc the final lead. bam was raked going up for a layup (had been our big scorer leading up to that point for the half, and had just hit two free throws) and got no call. that would have given us a full possession lead again and stopped their 4-0 run. unc got the loose ball and a run out, and fox blocked that shot but got called for a foul. it was a four point swing.

The NCAA makes money off of student athletes. We turn student athletes into pros quicker than any other school. The NCAA no longer makes money off of these student athletes. The NBA and the athletes themselves make the money. The NCAA does not like this. The NCAA will do everything it can to ensure that the one and done phenomenon remains a phenomenon. The NCAA will never give us any easy road.

When Mitch Barnhart and the UK fanbase make a stand against this kind of total disregard for the OVERWHELMING FINANCIAL SUPPORT the #BBN provides the NCAA, ONLY THEN will the powers that be do something about the total RAPING our program receives on many different levels from this same NCAA.

We get ZERO from them for being the indisputable NUMBER ONE supporter of NCAA Basketball.

Your logic makes no sense. So the said student athlete the ncaa makes money off of leaves? He is not replaced by another student athete?

 

[willyclyde]

The refs definitely need to take a seat.

This is exactly what it is..

With poor shooting.. a freshman team was about the beat one of the nations best experienced squads, fresh off of a title game appearance.

Think of every Kentucky teams.. all of them.. On some level, they have a guy or two that's NBA quality.. many teams have an NBA roster. At some point, the lights go on, the team fully clicks, and you're essentially looking at an inexperienced NBA team. I mean, just look at the Phoenix Suns right now.. starting 5 are all 21 years old..

The NCAA can't, or rather, doesn't want to, have a roster of one and done's bulldozing the competition. UNC would have gotten smoked tonight if they let the game be played.. 97% of the field would get run out of the building..

Duke has been loaded with OAD's recently and have had cakewalks...(Look what their bracket would have been had they not been torn up by Frank Martin.) It's not about that. It's more about Cal than anything. The NCAA obviously does not like him.

Bad officiating I can live with. One sided officiating I can not.

Probably because he's such a stand up guy.

You got that right!
