Kentucky has had a terrible season. One of the worst in literally 100 years.
But luck hasn’t quite been on their side either.
The Cats have had the lead in the second in so many of their 13 losses. For whatever reason, often time the ball hasn’t bounced their way, resulting in a historically bad season.
Another area of misfortune has been the whistle. Or lack there of in UK’s heartbreaking 81-80 loss to the Razorbacks on Tuesday night.
With Kentucky trailing by three with just under two minutes to go in the game, Arkansas freshman forward Jaylin Williams drove to the paint on Devin Askew. Instead of calling a what appeared to be a travel, the referee instead rewarded Williams with a trip to the line.
Was he fouled? Maybe but you can see yourself that steps were taken far before any contact was made. Calipari was livid that walking wasn’t called.
ESPN commentator Jimmy Dykes wasn’t a fan of the blown call and even mentioned that Williams may have taken four steps.
It goes without saying that one call could have changed the outcome of the game considering it was a one-point loss.
Making matters even worse was the ‘foul’ called on Jacob Toppin after Kentucky had taken an 80-79 lead in the final seconds. It appeared he got all ball, but the foul was called as Jalen Tate hit two free throws to win the game.

Was it a bad call? Maybe. Who knows. Missing 9 free throws didn't help our cause. Nor did 11 turnovers. And the last play with over four seconds to go and we have our 7' center bringing the ball up the court??? I just can't seem to blame this one on the refs.
What cracks me up is that it was a transfer from Northern Ky. University who made the two free throws to win the game. It wasn't a 5-star future lottery pick who will enter the NBA draft after one subpar year of college.

This just proves that anyone can beat UK this year no matter who you are, what your do or whether you are a pro or a no body. This is the year to get UK while they are down. I would hope that for his future, Cal makes a big come back next year.

OH, I don't think it was just one call. How about the Jackson tip in and foul? How about Jackson getting T'd up while walking back to the bench just to name a couple.

Knowing Calipari as we do you can bet he is working hard on his recruiting and wouldn't be surprised if we don't have some real good recruits coming in next season.

Uhhhhh, I don't think he is going to have to work very hard. How many more will he need? He has 4 recruits already, Tshiebwe, Collins, Hopkins, Hickman. We will most likely see Mintz return to finish his 2 year degree he is working on. Then there is Toppin, Askew and Ware who should be back. And there are some highly possibles Brooks and Allen. That is 10 and we would only have 3 spots left, and Cal I believe, has yet to have 13 players on his roster. Not sure what position he would be trying to fil with transfers. But that shouldn't take a whole lot of work. We'll just have to wait another month or two to find out who really comes back.
