FT's, Cats shot 21, USC shot 28, but 7 of their FT's were in the last 1:06 when UK was trying to foul USC. So I really won't say it was an unfair advatage on the FT line. Yeah, Wall was hammered on his dunk attemtp, but immediately preceeding that drive by Wall, the Cats got the rebound on a drive that Downey was clearly fouled on by Patterson that was not called. Not saying either one was worse than the other, but the Cats would not have even had the fastbreak attempt if the Refs would have called the foul on PPat.

Cats were called for 6 more total fouls than USC, but five of those came late when the Cats were trying to foul.

I'm not going to make any excuses for the Cats. They were outplayed. If anyone didn't see that then they did not watch the same game I did. When the Cats let an undersized Gamecocks team get 16 offensive rebounds, the most that the Cats gave up to any team this season, then they were lazy in the paint.
