As the game was winding down, Kentucky was fouling a Marquette player who was not even close to the action but was the worst Marquette foul shooter and the referees would never call an intentional foul. Kentucky almost reminds me of Duke when it comes to officiating:(

If they don't call fouling a ball-handler an intentional foul (when it plainly is as the defending team is using a foul to stop the clock) why call an off-the-ball foul an intentional foul at the end of the game, especially if you can sell it as a holding or blocking foul?

One time the player was standing in the corner of the frontcourt and the ball had not even come across the half-court line and the Kentucky player just grab the Marquette player in the corner. That's not intentional. The player was not even involved in the action that was taking place on the "court". Something has to be done about fouling at the end of the game just to stretch the game out. It is getting ridiculous.
