Ref Eats it Trying to Keep Up With Kentucky’s Fast Breaks

The first half of Kentucky-West Virginia is not going quite the way Mountaineers guard Daxter Miles expected. Earlier in the week, Miles offered his congratulations to Kentucky for getting to 36-0, but cautioned that they would be 36-1 by the end of tonight’s game. Then the game started and Kentucky opened up a 18-2 lead and started dunking on themselves because maybe that will pose more of a challenge.

Tyler Ulis lobbed the ball from nearly half-court and Marcus Lee caught it and dunked it over Devin Booker, who looked like he was blocking out whatever Mountaineer was supposed to be there.

Then, perhaps still reeling from the self dunk alley-oop, a referee tripped over a West Virginia player and ate it as he raced back up court on a Kentucky fast break. Credit where it’s due: he still made the offensive foul call on Booker from his backside. That’s dedication.
