Funny how they call fouls so quick when Kentucky needs one called
Officiating disadvantage against UK has been so thoroughly lamented, that it's a moot point for me by now. They're the only team in the league that can get "road-cooking", and any team would have to be at least 12 points better than them in Rupp to eek out a 3-point win. You have to expect it.
What infuriates me as a Bama fan is our mental weakness/timidness trying to close out a big win. You can see them glance at the scoreboard with an "Oh God, we're about to beat a good team" look like a deer staring into headlights.
Our decisions in the last few minutes were ultimately what decided that this wouldn't be at least a three possession win and would turn into a prayer that UK would miss an open three at the buzzer.
It's a hump I'm not sure we'll ever get over. I'm super glad for the win, but this could've been an attention getter with a confident last three minutes.
