In the grand scheme of the conference standings, one can lose by 100 & it’s no difference than a double overtime loss.
Does anyone on this board honestly think Auburn has a chance to avoid the big Valentine’s Day COCK?

I misread his definition, thought it said the higher the number (as opposed to ranking) the better your performance at home...
This model proves nothing regarding home whistle, fouls, free throws attempted at home. Purdue gets a great home whistle, that is a fact.
You guys have plenty of experience playing on Thursday. What’s it like?
Year that’s true but I don’t think taking a beating like that would make me worry about standings because you can always go on a run but what a loss like that could do to a teams confidence could be bad!
If the Cocks were young, I’d have this concern, but they’re old as all get out. I suspect they’ll flush it.
No, I'm saying SEC refs need better training and bigger balls.
Go to the 2:55 mark of this video and tell.me what you see. This is an atrocious call.
Refs dictate the style of play with their whistles. Plain and simple.
One really annoying thing that irks me is how they allow reach in steals for one side then "clean looking" swipes for the other side are always just whistle blown no questions asked. Basically turnover saving whistles that don't show much on the stat sheet.
I honestly don't think it was THAT bad last night, but home court IS a thing. Carolina simply missed a lot of high percentage close to the basket shots they usually make. Auburn was hitting all their 3 balls.
It was in reality a 20pt game, and towards the end Auburn went all try hard to get their fans free shit or something. The talk will be the 40 pt thing, but it will be a bit of an exaggeration. Not much different than the recent Auburn Florida game flipped. Just at the very end it didn't look as bad. A beating is a beating. We took beatings @ Ole Miss and @UT that were similar.

100%. The refs can certainly disrupt a team. South Carolina was not allowed to be physical and they just don't have the offense to score with a team like Auburn.
However, the officiating has been better these last few years.
The calls I hate, are the ones where the ball handler shoots into the lane, jumps into the defender and gets the foul call. What the hell is a big supposed to do?
Some of these veteran guards have figured out that they can jump sideways into a defender and stil get the call.
I get it, their job is really hard, but some of these guys either have money on the game, or really suck at their job.

You said----"SC player ws in the lane---waiting---there was NO contact, and he fell. Block was called. If no contact, is that not a flop? You then said it keeps teams from playing the way they want.
Well, if he fell with no contact, then...….
1. Training is fine.
2. So are the balls
3. This is called a layered play. Secndary defender is never in LGP---He moves, puts his hands on his chest, and it looks as if there is some contact. I have no issue with this being called a block,
You talk of training, but you have no idea how to officiate this play---Or what a layered play is. Or why the contact(hands to his chest) is illegal.
"reaching in" isnot a foul. Never has been....never will be.
"clean looking"---Interesting.
I would have thought Reed Sheppard would get more fouls called on him. He reaches in constantly.
His mom is the all-time steals leader in UK women's bball. So, I am sure she taught him the fundamentals of a proper steal.
Reed has extremely quick hands. He's also very fundamentally sond, and is rarely off balance. Therfore when he "reaches in". majority of the time, its very clean. PLus he is doing so without reaching across his body---his timing is solid.
Haha not all are crystal clean, but the quickness of the call usually on away teams has stood out to me. I just find it annoying when the loose ball fouls on rebounds and help D strips are called on one side and not the other. I'm honestly tired of watching games where one team has an obvious advantage, even if god forbid the advantage is for my squad.
And still go farther than USCjr, and have more fans. Little tidbit...after you got 40 pieced, Auburn student began camping out for the UK game...3 days ahead of time. Nobody cares about your welfare program.
That wasn't a flop, he fell back to keep from getting called for a foul. That was pretty obvious to me.
What would you do in that situation as the defender? You know, if you let that guy run into you, you're getting called for the foul. If you try to step to the side, he’s still going to run into you and you're still getting the foul. That kid did the only thing he could do, which was fall backwards. That was not a flop and it damn sure wasn't a foul.

If that was a foul, then the game is ruined. sorry, that’s not a foul and shouldn’t be called a foul.
Not only that, but on the other end of the court, Auburn wasn’t getting called for that bullshit. They were able to do whatever the hell they wanted. It’s one of the reasons why they're so great at home, but suck on the rd.
If that is considered a foul, than the training is wrong, sorry, it just is. That’s not a foul.
This is no surprise, back a couple years ago, you defended this call and said it was a legit foul. My goodness, that’s just bad. Try calling that shit down at the local courts. Y'all need to do better at recognixing what an acting job is if you think these are fouls.

Auburn fans have been camping out all year. Its not about a middle of the pack SEC program like kentucky

I'm the same way. I don't want to get special treatment, I want to win straight up, no home whistle bullshit.
Chances are, you're not getting those calls in the NCAAT, so you need to rely on your game, not getting help from the refs.
I remember that call like it was yesterday. Higgins is literally as close as a ref can be to make that, and he blows it. Just absolutely blows it. Hands down one of the worst calls I have ever seen...and for it to come from a ref who is assigned to a Final Four game (in other words is considered to be one of the best refs in the country in order to get that assignment) makes it even more infuriating.If that was a foul, then the game is ruined. sorry, that’s not a foul and shouldn’t be called a foul.

Absolutely terrible.
97-23 says other wise.
And you're trying to tell me Auburn fans camp out 3 days for every home game? I call bull$hit
^^^^This guy would definitely give Bruce Pearl a blowjob.^^^^
It seems my nuts are fully in your throught they way you keep responding to me
God damn....That play is from 14 fukin years ago,If that was a foul, then the game is ruined. sorry, that’s not a foul and shouldn’t be called a foul.

If the roles were reversed---you cry foul. So shut the **** up.
Call is marginal at worse. Defender puts his hand in his back....Makes A-B movement, making ANY contact, even minimal, illegal---and a foul, i.e. he doesn't have legal guarding position.
You mutherdukers whine so much
Seruious question----You relly think majority of the officials give two ****s? And to add----You don't UK has ever benefited from a bad call, calls, etc?? Sure they have. So whine about it?
Again, if you feel the job is easy....give me a call. I'll hook you up this summer. Shit i'll even pay your camp fee.
You game?
Who cares. UK is a big game. Always is. You dudes tout being the GOAT, then whine about teams camping out, having t-shirt night, etc...
Look at me---look at me---Well that is, until someone does----Then it triggers you.
Nope, if it was reversed and the UK player threw himself on the floor, I would call it out. That's not how I want to win.
That UConn player flopped, he threw himself on the floor and got the call. That was an acting job the fact that you still think that was a foul, that tells me you don't know the difference between a real foul and an acting job.
Has UK benefited from a favorable whistle? Shit yeah they have and if anyone wants to post clips, I'll be more than happy to admit favoritism.
But the truth is, Calipari has pissed off a lot of refs, including John Higgins.
Yeah, lets trade jobs, I'll officiate a game, you go out and climb cell towers and pour concrete. Just let me know when, then you can tell me which job is harder.
