You’re right.

The opposing team shooting 24 FT attempts to our 10 FTs has no impact on the game. None whatsoever.

You know how stupid that sounds?
Didn't say it didn't have an impact; but it's not why we lost. And the fact you keep constantly harping on it strongly shows that you actually DO think it's why we lost.

The difference was us being lazy rebounding and missing 100 open lay ups
Actually the difference is all of the above. Just because we should have won anyway does not excuse the corrupt officiating. It isn't an either/or.

We played like crap, but with a fair whistle, we win anyway.

The officials sucked, but they sucked all around. The touch fouls 30' from the basket but hardly anything called in the paint just makes it so hard to determine what is/isn't a foul. So inconsistent. That aside, when you miss 8 or 9 layups, shoot 3-21 from 3, get outrebounded by 20 on your home floor, and give up 13 ORebs, you dont deserve to win.

Got some like in this thread who seem to think we didn't play awful either. Bad officials, horrible guard play, lazy ass rebounding attempt.

Uros is the only play who acted like they even wanted to be out there

I will say this, SEC officials have become so accustomed to and enamored with Tshiebwe's rebounding ability, that they let him get away with anything on a rebound attempt. He was over the back a half dozen times with no call. That shouldn't be allowed to happen on an opponent's floor. But we didn't lose because the officials were horribly one-sided.

Even FTA, or reasonably so, who wins? Both teams shot 40%> yet one team had 15 more attempts at points to offset the missed shots. And it’s the difference in the way calls were or were not made. Oscar could’ve and should’ve fouled out, JP and Santi were on the bench w/2 fouls before the under 12 TO in the first half on ticky tack stuff. You can’t let a guy get an elbow to the face in live action and then call a wrist knick on a reach in 30ft from the basket. The stuff that was allowed both ways while the BS that was called was an embarrassment.

We were doomed once we had the lead early on.[/QUOTE said:
i had a bad feeling about this game (UK was actually playing for their tournament life/Coach Cal’s future tenure)... motivation was higher for UK than our Vols despite that this was a very low scoring game.

Hoping this game will serve as reminder to our VOLS that come tournament time, everyone is playing for their lives… just like Squid Game 🤣

Go VOLS, you’re in control if you want to run the table in SEC and NCAA.

Then go ahead and forfeit the game at Rupp I guess, and probably the Alabama game.
