What a crock of shite.

The clip in the link even has Dickie V saying the foul on Grant Williams was a good call.

That call today wasn't controversial. It was extremely clear. It might suck that you have to call a foul on someone with 0.6 seconds, but you have to call a blatant foul when it's committed or it would suck that an obvious call wasn't made.

There's obviously some type of Anti-LSU vendetta going on here by ESPN. Whatever it is, is total bullshite.

In no way was this controversial. A weird finish, maybe, but there's nothing questionable about the way it happened.

And for the 100th time, the Kentucky game was only controversial to the biased eye. They stuck their hand through the net, and nothing was called. When will they ever let it go?

Controversial if you are wearing Orange glasses, maybe.

Turns out you can’t throw yourself at the ball handler. Who knew?

No it was not. Smart clearly had possession of the ball and the Tennessee player (believe it was Williams) dove at him almost like he was trying to tackle him. That was a clear foul that has to be called. It impeded Smart's ability to get off a desperation heave.

Exactly like the Kentucky game. Refs called it one sided the entire game and the one call at the end we get “in our favor” is considered controversial. Lmao ok

LSU got a gift from Tenn. It was in no way controversial though.

It is now officially suspicious. The "LSU is a small media market" excuse has some merit, but, it is not getting to the point where the small market excuse is no longer a complete explanation.

Yeah, it was a VERY stupid play all around (let's not forget their PG jacked up a quick 3 with :08 left)... You cannot barge into someone like that and get away with it

we would trade those for pass interference to be called on rams and for pass interference not to be called against greedy

Only controversy was how many times they went to the damn monitor. I’m all for getting the right call, but man at some point you have to trust your eyes! Would definitely be howling more about this if it caused LSU to lose though...

UK yes, Tennessee no. Tenn got a lot of fouls at the end and fouls were missed against Tenn. That was a legitimate foul today though.

The rest of the explanation is that you are a small-minded person with low self-esteem. Those types always think the world is in a conspiracy against them.

I travel around the country a lot. It’s the same everywhere. Pittsburgh guys think Saints home cooking kept them from the playoffs and getting screwed against the Rams evened it out.
