Question about that infamous 1992 Kentucky vs Duke game
Posted on 3/30/16 at 11:55 pm

As best I recall, four Kentucky starters fouled out by early overtime, with maybe one Duke starter at most fouling out.
I thought the officiating was very bad for that important a game, resulting in Laettner making that shot with four Wildcat backups in the game.
Does anyone else recall this--surely some Wildcat fans from those days might remember it?

Laettner should have been ejected, bullshite the refs allowed him to play

Box score
UK had 28 fouls to Duke's 23, with Brian Davis (a Duke starter) fouling out and a couple other Duke guys in foul trouble. besides Mashburn, UK had another guy who fouled out, Gimel Martinez. I don't blame you for thinking that 4 of their guys went out, they all (besides Mash) seemed to look like this with the cool staches.

You could say officiating is bad in every game anymore.
Yes, UK had a couple of starters foul out.
However, the outcome wasn't the officials fault. UK's strategy of trying to defend on the defensive side of the course was their demise. Pitino has said many times since he should have had a tall player on the inbounds so the throw had to be arched higher, allowing players to move into position to deflect.
You rarely see coaches now leave the inbounds throw unguarded.

I always thought Kentucky had major foul problems with the refs during that game because Pitino seemed overly concerned with fouling...(translation...defending even moderately at the end.)
But that really wasn't the case...Pitino just blew it. He said they were so worried about fouling but he coaches his team to treat Laettner as if he had Ebola.
He let his players down IMO, because he instructed them to play like soft clueless muppets in the final seconds.
