It was quite obvious the whistle favored UW by a wide gap. Just about every foul on UK wasn't a foul. UK couldn't guard with hands straight up, but they lost like you hoped, so it's all good.
The game was obviously fixed, and it's acceptable because it's UK getting robbed.
[QUOTE=Tyme2fish;545326]It's funny how we view the calls from the refs. Personally, I thought the game was called (for the most part) in favor of Kentucky. I was rooting for Wisconsin,thus my bias.
Yes, that late 2 pointer for Wisconsin was a second after the possession clock expired. I thought that was a good make up for the terrible call for a charge when a 3 pointer was voided for Wisconsin.
We all have our personal bias when viewing a game.[/QUOTE]
I agree with the charge call and no flagrant foul with the slap to the face. I used to coach girls softball and I told my girls that we will get some bad calls probably every game but bad calls only beat you if you let them. When you get a bad call I don't won't anyone complaining, whining,or moping around. just **** it up and play harder I will deal with the umpires between innings in a quite manner.
If it gets real bad a coach will take a technical top draw attention to the refs and to spark a team that is down.These are college players and should be able to adapt to bad calls they see them all the time.

WOW...........Including when Lyles tried to take off that guys head......I'm just asking, because that has been a FLAGRANT 1 in every game I've seen all year........
Yea, the officiating homered Kentucky..............GET REAL.
I'm numb to the double standard of what Black people get away with compared to any other color. The game was like most games I have ever watched in my life.....good and bad calls. Wisconsin played with passion and they seemed a step ahead of UK for a lot of the game.
Uk got beat and all the other stuff is just noise. Jmo.
[QUOTE=mhall;545328]Here is my problem with what he said. I nor any other white guy can say that without SERIOUS issues afterwards. If one of those pasty white boys on Wisconsin would have said that MY GOD the world would have stopped turning but a black kid can do it and we get a so what attitude. Calipari will do nothing because he condones that crap and always has he's a slimeball.
Also Stein isn't the choir boy all of social medai thinks he is, maybe its ink poisening who knows. Here is why I think they were so mad, not only did they get beat they got beat by a bunch of hard headed four year college student athletes that were as white as my ass. Yea I said it and I really feel its true to. This is not being a racist or making a racist remark in fact its pointing out the other side of it, or as some call it reverse racism...whatever that is.[/QUOTE]
Yep I can bet money that Harrison wasn't the only black guy calling Frank "nigga"! In a weird way it was a huge compliment to Frank....he has risen from "white men can't jump" status to being a "homey" hahahaha.....heck Decker impressed me with his speed and agility....talk about a "****"!!! That man can move with or without the ball.

This ^^^^^^^
The refs didn't do in uk those 3 straight possessions on offense where they went 1-4 set ignoring the mastodon known as Towns did them in. It was worse than that run on sentence I just typed. Calipari should've stopped that shiznit the first time it failed. He just fails to make adjustments when it matters most.

I don't have a problem with blacks using the n-word and whites not being able to and here's why. In my college days all of my sorority sisters and I used to refer to each other by the word b!tch. Just between us it was a term of endearment and not an insult. To this day and if it's not said in an angry way I do not get upset if another female calls me that name. If a guy says that to me in any shape, fashion or form I will consider it an insult and I will deal with it immediately. I know guys amongst friends say similar things to each other and would be insulted if called the same thing by an outsider so just how can that be any different than black folks using the n-word to each other without there being a double standard involved? Yeah, I know the Wisconsin player was white and Andrew used poor judgment with a live mic around. He'll make a good politician one of these days huh? Lol.

Man I'm a UK fan and I'll tell you straight up. We did not get robbed we got beat fair and square. UK flat out choked 3 possesions in a row. If you want blame someone blame calipari. Moron should of called a timeout and told them to feed the **** ball to towns. Wisconsin played a better game. Mighty UK choked plain and simple

Funny - I stood in my seat in Indy screaming that same thing. It was a coaching fail at the worst possible time. Players can get out played and coaches can get out coached. Cal got out coached.
Why we took the air out of the ball and held our testicles through 4 shot clocks is beyond my comprehension. Should have fed Karl...and we would have been playing Duke tonight. No question.
It wasn't the officiating. That has equally sucked for everyone here lately.
Oh well...

I get what you're saying here but the problem is every time the dreaded "n" word and it's "a" or "er" variations are used you have to play the "context game". With the racial wedge that's currently being driven into this country it only worsens the situation. Only the person that utters the phrase knows what's in his/her heart at the time. In this day and age people hold down the turbo button when judging others. Half the people immediately start in with the "if a white person said that" rhetoric while the other half fall into the "aww no big deal term of endearment" camp. Why is all that even necessary? Why can't we come up with a slang phrase of endearment that doesn't require an "a" or "er" decoder ring? With social media this should be easily obtainable. As long as we continue on using the phrases we continue to earn the present day situation we have.
