Thoughts on Kentucky

Well Vanderbilt just got screwed on that call, and I'm okay with it.

 

[volfanCLT]

Wow what a terrible call. Might cost Vandy the game too

Vandy got screwed on that shot clock call.

Couldn't happen to a better bunch.

 

[OrangeBalls]

The question is, can the refs not review that? And if they did, what did they not see?

 

[jaybird_1981]

Is Bobby Knight medicated?

 

[Jonboy]

WOW. Officials totally blew that. Should be a tie game.

 

[OrangeBalls]

Wow.

They got the ball back.

 

[Hardwood_fanatic]

Annnnnd there is the gratuitous makeup call.

Annnnnd there is the gratuitous makeup call.

Nowhere even close to being equal. Points should be removed for UK.

Can't look at the shot clock violation according to the ref.

I feel like I've seen that reviewed before.

Can't go to monitor to review shot clock violation in UK game. Bad break for Vandy. Bad break!

Really? Since when? I had no idea that couldn't be reviewed.

Which is a horrible rule btw

Did I say it was equal?

 

[OrangeBalls]

That game was much closer than it ever should've been. A young team about coughed it up and got a huge call on the road. Listening to the Vandy fans piss and moan about it is going to be some good comedy tomorrow though. Heh.

I agree. They review other stuff and last second shots. I guess they want the game not to last forever, but how many times would the game stop if they had to review one of those.

You said it was a make up. In no way did it make up for that.

 

[OrangeBalls]

You said it was a make up. In no way did it make up for that.

Jonboy from Lexington, Ky...you didn't want Ky to lose did ya? Heh.

 

[Hardwood_fanatic]

You said it was a make up. In no way did it make up for that.

You apparently do not get the gist of a "make-up" call. It is simply that, an "attempt" to make up for the previous call. No one mentioned equality.

Just because the shot clock says zero, doesn't mean it's expired. 0.9, 0.8, etc. Shot left his hand before the horn. Call was correct.

 

[GatorsGators]

Vanderbilt got completely hosed.

UK might struggle to make the tournament in a weak SEC. It looks like they'll struggle on the road against bad teams. The Maryland win is their best OOC win, and that's pretty sad. They need a win or two against Missouri and Florida, and I don't think they're capable of that right now.

The horn sounded way before the ball left his hand. lol

tv delay, shhhh!

VU outplayed UK in the 2nd half.

 

[Jonboy]

Jonboy from Lexington, Ky...you didn't want Ky to lose did ya? Heh.

I pray they lose every single game. Just can't let my wife know that.

All I can say is we better soak it up this year because they could very well go undefeated with the group they have coming in next year.

I was pondering that as well. Even though the clock hits zero, one more second still has to expire before the actual horn goes off. Just like the last few seconds of a game, there are tenths of a second showing (0.9, 0.8). Those digits just aren't available on the shot clock.

This seems to be what happened. I'm sure somebody will verify it, either way.
