All of the talk after Kentucky’s surprise home loss to LSU is about the goaltending or the stupid rule that prevents the officials from reviewing the play to make the correct call. If Joe Lindsey is allowed to review the tip-in and correctly call basket interference, the game goes to overtime and may the best team win. Instead we’re left with a screw-job that could have a huge impact on SEC Tournament seeding, and in turn, Kentucky’s shot at a No. 1 overall seed in the Big Dance.
It’s easy to blame the final split second of the game for the loss, but much more went wrong in the defeat of the Wildcats.
