Former referee explains final sequence of Kentucky vs. LSU

Kentucky fans are trying to forget about the brutal loss to No. 19 LSU on Tuesday night, but there’s still great debate as to what happened on the final play of the game.

LSU won the game on a controversial tip-in by Kavell Bigby-Williams that appeared to have been goaltending, which gave the Tigers a 73-71 win. Had it not been called, Kentucky and LSU would have gone into overtime tied at 71-all.

Needless to say, that no-call cost Kentucky a chance to win in overtime, but the way LSU controlled the second half, it was far from a sure thing the Wildcats could win in the extra period.
