Referee Doug Shows had a decent game at Rupp Arena tonight, but he also made one of the worst calls you’ll see this season.
With Kentucky rolling in the first half, Shows broke all their momentum with an inexplicable foul call against Cason Wallace.
Wallace clearly beat him man to the basket on a rebound and put it in for what should have been an and one attempt. Somehow, Shows saw a foul…on Wallace:

Of course, the basket didn’t count and LSU scored three on the other end to break all of Kentucky’s momentum and let the Tigers back in it late in the half.
