They just can't let LSU have a win. That was NOT friggin goaltending. It was a great play.

Yeah, like that would have been the deciding factor. Not all the flopping gators on the floor.

why does anyone watch ESPN?


Seriously I can't remember the last thing I saw on that network that wasn't a game. An LSU game at that. I don't watch it for anything else.

Honestly, who gives a frick at this point. According to ESPN we shouldnt have beaten UK, Tenn, and I guess throw Florida last night in there as well. Naz shouldnt be able to play because of his Tenn foul.

No matter what they say though, the ncaab world best recognize.... cause we comin

How was it goaltending???? Ball never hit backboard until after the block, and ball was still on way up. Am I missing something??

Isn’t it weird that the talking heads of espn know more than the referees??

This shite always happens. We have a close call at the end of the game and it's harped on.


UF blatantly swatted a ball that Naz shot that was on the way down with like 8 min left. Nothing is said about it

I’m more pissed that they keep bringing up previous games. I’ve never seen them do that before. Ravech brought up the Tennessee call and the Kentucky ending. They showed both highlights. It’s bs. Stick to the game you are calling.

The agenda is out now probably stemming from the FBI crap, we are hated at every turn, just keep winning and they can say whatever they want.

Every game we play they will continuously bring up the stupid UK offensive goaltend and ignore everything that happened prior to that UK got away with.

I actually don’t think it’s that. I think we’re just ruining their UK-Tennessee narrative

full speed, and a judgement call by refs, i can see a no call. Slow mo imo it was goaltending. Raveich and the other guy thought it was a good call. Just like the no call earlier when it should have been called against fla. Just like against kentucky.

but hey it is what it is. We have had our share of bad calls and vice versa. I'm enjoying the game for what it is a hard fought win.

Law of averages may come into play with future ot games. However, I like it that we have this "crunch" experience heading into the postseaon.

That network legitimately hates LSU. I don't know why but their loathing is obvious.

In all three of those games LSU got a bunch of shity calls and no calls that went against them yet ESPN is still incorrectly harping on legitimate calls and no calls to try to discredit those wins.

How long has it been since the Kentucky game? Because they're still mentioning it. They mentioned it last night in the Florida game. Twice I think.

I thought the block by Bigby-Williams could have been called goaltending but it was not clearly either so whatever the call was wouldn't have been reversed. By the time he swatted it against the backboard but the initial contact may have been at the peak.

The ball was not on the backboard until after contact was made, so that is not goaltending by rule since it then has no possibility of entering the basket.

I miss the play you referenced but it sounds like the refs were not inclined to call goaltending at all.

That’s an interesting defense coming from the LSU fans who constantly bitch about referees when the calls go against us.

Are you a Saints fan. Did you complain about the non-pass interference call on the Rams?

ESPN is full of bull, but they would be remiss if they didn’t question the referees.

I don’t understand why Tennessee is considered such a “blue blood” that’s beloved by media. Argument can be made that our basketball history/tradition is much richer, correct?
