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

  

  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.
• se-alum

  

  Kentucky gets a nice little bogus call.
• reclegend22

  

  Kentucky should be awarded the win for simply making it to overtime in that barn. That was brutal to watch.
• wildcats20

  

  THAT is how you end a game. Damn.
• reclegend22

  

  That's the perfect way to cap that game. Lol. Won't bet on a game there ever again. Christ.
• GOONx19

  

  Wow. Hell of a finish.
• Laley23

  

  Holy Shit! I dont even care that I lost money...greatest game winning shot I have EVER seen.
• wildcats20

  

  Lol a full court tip in
• wildcats20

  

  LOL please tell me they were joking saying Cal wanted a T.
• GOONx19

  

  This is dumb. We lost. On an awesome fucking tip-in dunk.
• SportsAndLady

  

  lol love how Calipari was over there designing a play
• Laley23

  

  lol. Good way to end it.
• SportsAndLady

  

  Haha now THAT is how this game should have ended
• Laley23

  

  Seriously though, what a fucking dunk...to win the game.
• Azubuike24

  

  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.

  That was a fucking game, but wow those refs are terrible. Like Pac 12 football bad

  I thought the exact same thing. That did provide a pretty good laugh. UK losing the ball in the rafters. Lol. Fitting.
• Laley23

  

  At least Boise is gonna cover for me tonight.

  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.
• SportsAndLady

  

  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.
• Azubuike24

  

  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.
• Azubuike24

  

  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.
