SEC Basketball Refs

[mbgrulz]

If I had a route 44 soda pushing on my bladder to the point of not being able to sit still and saw a SEC ref on fire, I would cross my legs and hold that piss in.

Take a midol and change your tampon.  Or maybe ask mama to get your pacifier.

[WorfHog]

The refs are terrible, but you can't expect calls on the road unless you UK or Ben Simmons...

The refs are literally star struck...

We just don't have any stars.

I sure hope your a women because you obviously don't have balls.

Officals are going to miss calls. They missed several today and they will miss several in the remaining games this year. What has to happen is the team has to have the ability  to FIDO( forget it drive on) to the next play. This is mental toughness and I  seeing more and more of the weakness come out. Moses got a technical foul last game and was mentally shook today. The walking  call was bad but at the end of regulation we had a chance to win. A bad inbounds pass cost us a legitimate chance to win in regulation. Who knows what the play call was because the inbounder threw the ball down the sideline ( a no no from when I was coaching basketball) to a guarded man. That is just as much mental toughness as any of the other

Home or road doesn't matter.  The SEC refs show gross incompetence every single game.  It's to the point that they actively make watching any contest worse.

Missed opportunity. Not refs fault. Look to the bench....

Lers dont forget the botched shot clock violation call....they clearly blew that one.  From what I saw it was one official for the most part that made all of the critical calls againstus

oh mr clean the younger had a field day making calls today...but the bottom line is that at the end of regulation ...we had a chance ...we just didn't get the job done

[jfred59]

Oh I agree that this bunch did enough to lose it without the refs help but that are just plain awful

Stop the conspiracy theories. The refs are not out to get us. We swat like crazy, trying to impart "hell" on the other team. It's our playing style that leads to more calls, not the refs. Strategy: Swat swat swat trap swat swat trap swat. We give a lot of fouls and rotate a lot of players in and out so prevent foul-outs--that's our strategy.

So saying the "refs suck" win or lose is a conspiracy theory. I have played/watched organized basketball for many, many years across the country and the refs absolutely suck in each and every game. There is absolutely no consistency, no accountability and no desire to get it right a majority of the time. To say that certain teams don't get the favorable calls is living with your head in the sand. Being stationed in Big 10 country for the last 7 yrs has allowed me to watch a lot of northern ball, the refs here are definitely more consistent with their calls. If they are calling the hand stuff to start the game, they are calling it to end the game. Body contact is called pretty evenly on both ends of the court. Sad thing is, the SEC office knows the product the officials they get is not of a high quality, but they just don't give a damn. As a fan, we should expect even, consistent officiating, win or lose. To say, "that is just the way it is" is a sign of apathy that any organization should get rid of.

[Wild Bill Hog]

Impossible to hate SEC refs because there is no such thing.

[98hogs]

The Refs at Jawja took that game

[MountieDawg]

I have found evidence of a large group of underground referees called "REA" Refs Against Arkansas, it contains 95% of all refs regardless of sport. They have made it next to impossible for the Hogs to win. Until this group is demolished there is no chance of the Hogs ever winning!  HEAVY SARCASM!!! 

Many of you probably believe this to avoid blaming players, coaches and shooting.

What an absolutely horrible call. That ball was tipped.

These guys are so bad. Every night. It's amazing.

Missing bang-bang calls is understandable. Missing 100 percent obvious calls is something else. The latter happens far too often.

Mind you, the refs haven't decided this game. Not even close. They're just awful. And I'm tired of watching them be awful.

FINAL IN KNOXVILLE: Arkansas 75, Tennessee 65. #Vols struggle without Kevin Punter and Robert Hubbs. Just Hogs' third ever win in Knoxville.

Wow. Doesn't take much to get an injury timeout these days. Coach just tells ref, my guy can't guard their guy.

Calipari finally sounds off on officiating: http://kentuckysportsradio.com/basketball-2/calipari-finally-sounds-off-on-officiating/ ...

"Look, Alex did not walk. You saw it. He did not walk. And he didn't trip the guy. Those are like two ridiculous calls. But that kind of caved him in. You can't be that way. Next! We've had it all year — ALL YEAR — we've had that. So? Just play. We're trying to talk to him about that. You can't let a call or a play cave you in. Just play through."
