I also thought it was correct based on the rule. Cauley wasn't set. He still got ran over.

Wow, these calls are crazy lol

There needs to be an investigation into any debits of Mike Anderson's bank account, and any similar credits of the head ref of this game.

Kentucky should be awarded the win for simply making it to overtime in that barn. That was brutal to watch.

This is exactly why people still doubt UK, and it's mid-January and I see why.

Basketball IQ. How many times did Andrew Harrison turn the ball over looking at what instructions Calipari was giving him? Some incredibly dumb decisions and turnovers have plagued them all year. This isn't stuff you can "teach." You can work on it, but it's either there or it's not sometimes.

As for talent, UK outclasses everyone. They are a dominant rebounding team. A dominant shot-blocking team. However, I'm really gonna question if they can excel under pressure in a big situation and not shoot themselves in the foot.

This goes back to the IQ part.

Okay, the setting. .2 second. I'm the inbounder. There's a big fucking box in the center of the court, probably 20X20 only about 30 feet off the floor. This pay not be ANYTHING, but my one job is to NOT hit the box.

The rest is history.

Not sure uk outclasses everyone in talent. Their talent is a tad overrated due to recruiting rankings. Kansas has the top 2 picks in next year's draft and another couple first rounders. Zona too.

The Harrison's are overrated. Poythress was last year.

However, this UK still has, and I'll say it now, 9 guys who will play in the NBA.

Zona and KU have guys better than Lee and Johnson right now though.

That was certainly a mental error, but the game was over at that point and I don't blame the Wildcat players for being ready to just get the fuck out of there. That reminded me of a high school game at some rival gym where the officials are wearing the home team's jerseys and the game doesn't end until the home team wins. As I said, Kentucky deserves a medal for successfully making it through regulation without a loss.

Money on the game or not, while the dunk at the end was cool, I don't give a fuck about it because, honestly, it never should've happened. Julius Randle was the best player on the court and if he and his front-court partners had been allowed to operate under normal circumstances (i.e. not being raped), Arkansas would've lost before overtime.

Happens on the road though.

That's why I was disappointed because KU "broke through" last night. Arkansas, had they lost that, was staring at a bad, bad season. Instead, they are now on track to definitely make the NCAA's if they just hold serve. 2 of their 3 "tough" games are done.
