Kentucky survived a real scare Tuesday night as the Wildcats were down 39-28 at halftime to Arkansas before coming out in the second half and taking control of the game on their way to a 70-66 win. That win keeps Kentucky at the top of the SEC standings and sets up a big weekend showdown at Tennessee on Saturday.

While the foul calls from the game were largely even, Arkansas was called for 23 fouls, with Kentucky being called for 19, many on social media took issue with several calls from the matchup. It’s true that referees are never going to call a perfect game but this is an issue that seems to be plaguing the SEC this basketball season.

Heaven help any of these referees if anyone digs up social media posts of them supporting Kentucky.

In the aftermath of the close game, several fans shared clips from the game that have to be tough for Arkansas fans to swallow. Particularly with so many of these occurring with a referee just feet away.

The clip at the bottom was even reviewed so it’s hard to understand how that one could have been missed.
