For once Vitale was right. Make a call and stick with it. They looked at the monitor after every call. Screws the flow of the game up bad.

Same crap year after year. It really gets old.

I'm usually the guy who says "don't blame the refs, we beat ourselves" but THAT... that was some bullshizzle.

The usually reserved Rick Barnes was even ready to go confront an official after the game. I hope that is a sign that the team is so pissed that this will serve as the wakeup call they desperately need. But if being humiliated at UK last week didn't do it, maybe nothing will.

After the game is too late. He needs to show that during the 40 minutes of playing time. One thing that upsets me about Barnes....let your team know you've got their back when they are getting ref screwed.

Yeah I don't have a great feeling to be honest.  Feels like our peak was earlier in the year and we're on a downward slide.  Maybe we were overrated.  

Don't get me wrong, 3 losses this far into the year is a stellar year... but it's frustrating how we haven't rose to the challenge that we all knew was coming on the back end of our schedule.

Not so much as peaking early but we are playing teams now that have talent out the wazzu. We've lost 3 games to teams that bigger...more athletic and have more length than us. You can't coach to that...you have to recruit to that.

It isn't just that it is only three losses but two in OT and all to worthy adversaries. The real blight is the loss to UK which was a blowout. I wish they had never hit #1 because that seems to have killed their drive.

I'm not giving up but we were overrated. Look at our rotation. Then again, look at every other team. KY is hot now. IF "we" beat them then all our dreams are possible  :thumbup:

We actually played well vs LSU - Grants defense on Reid was awesome, and we were in position to win that game - made a couple of bad decisions the last 10 seconds with a rushed shot and a foul when it wasn't needed.
Offense - Honestly Bowden needs to come back - he has disappeared.

We have a tough stretch coming up and everyone knew this. We will be fine
