I know I'm one of the older guys here,but seeing this subject header reminds me of one of the biggest meltdowns in SEC history.
1982 SEC Tournament, first time since the renewal it was held on a team's home court, Rupp Arena. Kentucky edged Ole Miss 62-58. They also had 19 fouls to Ole Miss' 38 and outshot OM 42-16 at the FT line. Bob Weltlich,Ole Miss' coach was rightfully mad,but he absolutely melted down in the press conference.Almost in tears he was saying to the effect,"now I have to go in there and face my kids who are crying their eyes out.What am I going to tell them? This was a disgrace", etc.
This made the round in '82 nationwide. Who knows what would have happened today.

Like I said last night its Kentucky. So this is expected. The fact that we were only down by 1 at the half is quite remarkable considering how lopsided the officiating was.
