Often, it’s a flagrant of some sort. Not for Kentucky’s Trey Lyles.

In the second half against Wisconsin on Saturday, Lyles slapped Badgers guard Josh Gasser in the face.
The officials went to replay and game back with … nothing.
No foul. No flagrant. Nothing.
It only got worse from there, as on the next possession Wisconsin was called for an offense foul on a questionable flop by Kentucky.
Officiating had been bad all game, including a missed call on a Badgers shot clock violation.
This is the kind of stuff that fans never forget. Not a good look for NCAA officials.
