Dude all you have to do is read the boxscores. It's a fact that the Vols had more fg's made and less turnovers at vandy, yet got blown out due to the ft dissparity! Freethrows were a huge factor at rupp as well. facts are facts.

fact that UT is more apt to commit fouls?

I live in Knoxville, so I don't get to hear that much of it. However, since I attended the FB game in lexington back in November, I did have the pleasure of hearing it on the radio that evening. First of all, they were SO confident before the game, I honestly couldn't believe many of the callers. Then, the meltdown after the game was EPIC, more blame game and finger pointing than I'd heard in a long time.

I thought the Vols did get some home cooking on Rocky Top on Saturday. That has to be expected when you go on the road. The Cats played poorly in the first half, the Vols played very well, and that was the difference.

home cooking foul-wise? UT had 6 fouls called on them in a less than 2 minute span

please. john wall got that rediculous nba-esque continuation that allowed him to get fouled out by the three point line, carry the ball for 5 steps and then lay it in for the and-1.

Give me a break. Look at the foul differential. Then go take a look at the charge/block calls. UK got every single one save Wall charging at the end over Williams.

As long as we continue to spend the first 25 seconds of every shot clock throwing the ball around the perimeter, you'd better get used to a FT disparity.

I listened to the Ky post game call in show Saturday on the radio. Three different callers said that KY didn't win because of the refs--TYPICAL. I guess a 10 free throw differential wasn't enough. They needed 17 extra attempts for the game to be "fair."

As a Vol fan living in Ky all of my life I can say that the experience has not given any respect, etc. for KY. With each and every passing year, I only want to beat them worse and worse.

After the Miss St game in Starkville Ky fans have no reason to complain about refs.

Ky always gets home cooking at Rupp. They got alot of the calls at Miss St. Cousins could foul out by halftime if they would call it.

Nobody got "cheated"...

I wonder how many post game threads, headlines, or conversations speak about officiating after a CLOSE game…probably many. Sports fans are always quick to point out a certain call here or there which could have changed the outcome, so, there’s nothing new about this response from a frenzied fan base like UK’s.

From my perspective, UT simply wanted this game more…they earned the victory. A win is a win and this game should help seeding in the NCAA-T. UK played poorly…partly because of UT’s will and a great home crowd.

Many of us are salivating at the chance to meet you guys again though. Thanks for keeping the rivalry fresh and exciting.

I know we lost in KY...but if the students would have started a chant, "Just Like Football" clap clap clapclapclap.......that would have been hilariously funny!

Home cooking? Please explain. What call(s) are you upset about?

After the UT-UK game in Lex, with every UT drive and score resulting in a "charge," and the Starkville OT calls for you guys, I'd love to know what part of Saturday's game you thought was unfair.

I'm to the point that whenever a UK player charges over another SEC player at a key moment in a game, and the ref calls said charge, it feels like a gift. That's how I felt about Williams taking the charge from Wall. I'm surprised they actually gave us the call.

This is a nice post. But, as for the bolded part, having lived in KY, I know that UT interrupted KY's season-long thumping of their own chests over being better than everybody else. And, if they're not winning, they'll thump their chests over who they think has the best fans. I can't imagine what it would do to some people if UT beats them again. I don't expect to happen, but it's not beyond possible.

That's funny because I was thinking the same thing about Calipari during the game! I can't complain too much now that it's all said and done though. We overcame poor officiating and a bad outing by Chism and still beat the #2 team in the country. It's great to be a Tennessee Vol

The UT loss has been an "interruption", as was the USC debacle. I would venture to say that the Cats still have yet another loss waiting before their NCAA run. Had UT not knocked us off, I had already penciled in an L at the hands of Georgia. That team was a handful when we played them back in early January…now; however, I’m hoping that the Vols woke us up and that we don’t make it two in a row.

Should that happen, much like if UT tags us twice in one year, look for major gnashing of teeth, cliff jumping, wrist slitting and general mayhem from the BBN.

I'm not sure I understand on the 2nd half ky was all kinds of bs calls in there favor we were getting into foul trouble I thought we got the short end of the stick on that one

If Pearl was paying the refs, he needs to get a refund plus interest. Every single call with Wall went to him except the last one. We actually had to run away from him when he drove the ball to avoid a foul call.

I was shocked we got the call. Every call all day was a block, except for that one.

I don't know why everyone thinks that foul disparities are such a big deal. Yes the officiating was bad Saturday, however, I have seen a whole boatload of games with big differences in fouls called that were officiated just fine. It has as much to do with style of play and aggressiveness/timidity as anything.

I thought KY fans just had a problem with drooling, thanks for clearing that up.

I agree completely, but in this case players that were stationary were being run over and consistently blocks were called. That accounts for most of the disparity in fouls in the game Saturday.

Wrong title on this thread. As long as Cal is in Lexington, it's not "Cats got cheated," it's simply "Cats cheated."
