I don't agree with what the fans are doing, but it's not like the UK players are helping their cause right now. Just shake hands and get the hell off the floor.

Wow, great game. Too bad that officiating in OT was so pathetic. But never an excuse for shit being thrown. I dont mind the chants and cussing, etc. However, throwing stuff is unacceptable.

But wow, I still cant believe the 4 crucial calls in OT (ONLY 1 was debatable. The air-ball foul on John Wall.

I wont look back at previous posts. Kudos to Miss St. Coach Stansbury for sitting a starter tonight for discipline reasons. I wonder If Urban Meyer watched this game? Urban likes to sit guys in games where they are favored by 30.

Calipari and Jeanine Edwards blaming the fans right before the interview. When there are three players stopped and looking into the crowd, its not just the fans faults.

You don't need to be walking off the floor waving your hands and shit at fans that are already pissed.

I haven't watched too many Kentucky games, but does Wall/Kentucky get that type of favorable treatment in all their wins? Absolutely incredible. The refs had to of had money on that game.
This is what is making sports (especially college basketball) more difficult to watch, is how blatantly bad the officiating is.

This. Throwing shit is bad. But why invite it like Cousins and Wall were doing. Its tough to feel bad if you get decked in the face with a bottle when you are waving your hands in a "throw it" motion. Just walk into the tunnel and off the court.

Sad way to end what was a fantastic basketball game. Congrats to UK on that win. That was a big game, no matter how you spin it.

I think this was done in response to the fans throwing stuff. I mean one of their teammates got 100+ calls and 1000+ text messages with racial slurs attached. I'd gloat a little too...

Haha I have to laugh at the people who are insinuating the UK players asked for it. That's how this group is, they are good, they are loose, they are always smiling.

Once again, a top teams gets given a game they should have lost. No excuse for officiating that bad when it involves the #2 team in the country on national tv. The SEC should be embarassed for hiring such incompetent officials.

So that makes it ok to provoke people who are already pissed???

Just get off the floor and celebrate with class in the locker room.

Being loose and always smiling means looking at the opponents bench and talking crap to the players and coaches? Wall did this. Pretty sure it was before the bottle throwing.

That is how they act after every game. I've rarely seen DeMarcus Cousins or John Wall without a big smile on their face. However, this is game 26 and the first time bottles and objects have been thrown at them. You do the math. Only Kentucky, who most people dislike, would people actually claim they asked for that treatment. Teams and players act like this at every game...

It's hard NOT to smile when you get the benefit of bullshit calls a few times.

Listen, I'm not a UK homer, and there were 2 calls in OT that were to UK's benefit, but it wasn't the difference in the game.

As for Wall talking smack, we can argue this until we are blue in the face, but again, it's a standard thing that happens at hundreds of games a year. Bottle throwing doesn't...one doesn't justify the other.

I won't defend talking smack, it's not my style, but it happens with players all the time.

See, im pretty much with you on this. I have no problem with talking shit to fans, players, whoever. But once stuff is thrown what goes through your mind that says "Im going to stand here"? I mean I would be in the tunnel so damn fast, lol. But maybe thats just me. I have no problem with the talking smack, just dont understand why you would continue to do so when people are throwing objects at you haha

Talking smack does equate to getting bottles thrown at you. Very poor behavior by some of the MS fans.

Anyway, it was a good game. It's unfortunate the bottle throwing will become the headline, and I'm sure some people will try to spin that UK's cockiness deserved such treatment. I mean ESPN glorified students stealing DeMarcus Cousins' cell phone numbers and people using racial slurs toward him. They went as far to even show students with his number programmed in their phone. So when the guys tomorrow (Mike & Mike, PTI, etc...) start debating whether the UK players deserved this treatment because of how cocky they are, I won't be surprised.
