Notre Dame/Kentucky... in-game thread

[cto]

Go Irish! (Hey, it worked for the Badgers).

Fabulous block by Johnson! He managed to get no ball!

He did hold his wrist for a moment or two though.

Dakari Johnson ripping Auguste's hand off, no foul. Good start refs.

 

[jimsonjunction]

Great block right there.

 

[ssbriefcase]

Can't believe I gotta root for ND, especially after losing to them today in lax, but I have to. Having a skilled and likeable Grant on the team helps a lot.

 

[jncuse]

Any fans here cheering for UK tonight? Just wondering.

And to be clear, I am anti UK.

It's sort of amazing the calls they make and miss sometimes. UK gets off the hook for what are normally anticipation calls against most teams because they're tall. Refs seem to just assume they're so big that they must not be fouling at times.

It's like when UL has their non-stop foul press on - they just don't call the fouls because they're hustling and scrappy.

No, ND fan tonight...

UK is tall. We get it. Calm down announcer crew.

The commentators were getting a little heated there.

"Connaughton is guarding someone else, it's not his job to block out Lee."

"Listen, shut up fool, they all gotta block out everyone! It's gang-rebounding! Connaughton needs to block out everyone!"

"Well, it was Jackson's man."

"It doesn't matter - Kentucky's BIG."

 

[HOFCeluck]

It's a likable ND team. BBN on the other hand...

 

[Ghost]

That's a foul they never would call on UK - cuz UK is big so they're supposed to block shots.

HAHA!!!

 

[rrlbees]

Have to root for the Irish in this one.

 

[WaHoos4Me]

"shot affected by Tre Lyles"... surprised they didn't say the height is really to UK's advantage

 

[jncuse]

What was that.

 

[longislandcuse]

Refs on that big blue dime tonight.

 

[cto]

Wow.. that was an offensive foul by Towns... not a foul by Auguste

 

[Ghost]

This is such a joke.

How do you stop ND, get their only big man off the floor.

Grabbing August's wrist on a dunk = Not a foul.

That's a foul though????? Okay.

 

[JayCuse]

Fix is in already.

 

[orangefan13]

LETTTTTTTTTTTTTTS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IRISH!!!!!!

may the saints be with you!

 

[longislandcuse]

Bad calls:
UK-0
ND-2

 

[JayCuse]

What? Timeout?

 

[Ghost]

Towns wasn't over the back in that fracas? I think he had the ND guy's head, not ball.

 

[jncuse]

Mugged by UK, still fully don't have the ball...Timeout!

Amazing.
