Jackson is just better than Monk. It is that simple.

 

I disagree, and so do the people who evaluate talent for a living.

 

Your strong dislike for Monk is confounding....

It was an even matchup and considering that Kentucky played two top 5 teams in 3 days, it's hard to knock the Wildcats...even for a Louisville fan.

 

Who's knocking them? I already said it was pretty even, but that the better team (IMO) won when it mattered.

 

I hope your poor attempt with a shot at Louisville made you feel better. :lol2:

Nobody made Cal sit Fox. There is no rule that requires guys to sit with two fouls. According to a series of articles by Ken Pomeroy, the evidence is spotty on whether sitting guys is good or bad. Cal adheres to the belief that guys should sit with two fouls. I tend to disagree with that coaching philosophy, and I think Kentucky would have benefited from getting Fox back into the game in the first half, but to each his own.

I agree. He sat too long

Only calls I had an issue with were the Willis loose ball foul late in the first half, and then the "jump ball" call late when UNC raked it out of Bam's hands. If the Willis play was a foul, then there had to be a foul on the Bam play. I personally didn't see a foul on either, but if you call one, you have to call the other IMO.

 

Other than that, I thought the officials were equally pathetic on both ends. Lots of no calls.

That wasn't a shot at Louisville. That was just stating a fact...you are a Louisville fan, no?

Bye Felicia. :lol2:

I'm not sure I agree, although when projecting professionally it may just depend on what a team is looking for. I was impressed with Jackson defensively yesterday.

There were so many missed calls. Berry shoved the defended with his off hand at least 7 times in the game. It was finally called once. Bam got beat to death most of the game and they never did call anything...except when he scored and they called a weak over the back on him. The offensive basket interference was a bad call. The blocking foul on Fox was a bad call. Monk got destroyed on a cut once and nothing. Fox got dismantled at the end of the first half, then the ball went to a player who was standing out of bounds AND walked and still nothing. I could go on and on.

I'm not going to hijack this thread but I don't think it's the best time for Louisville fans to gloat over a UK loss.

If you want anyone to take you seriously, you need to stop acting like the only calls missed were against UNC. They missed plenty against the Cats too.

Kind of how I feel. I thought this game and the Wichita State game were reversions back to what made college basketball unwatchable, until the new "freedom of movement" rules were enforced. The one that really sticks in my mind is when Meeks had his arm around Bam going up for a shot in the first half. No clue how they missed that. Bam all season suffered from the Shaq and LeBron syndromes of being too large and not getting calls. Not until the last 10 games or so did he learn to play through it.

Okay, point them out?

Well you brought Louisville into this, as usual. So...

Okay, point them out?

 

No need. I'm not gonna waste my time crying about officiating.

If you want anyone to take you seriously

 

Too late.
