Kentucky didn't get called for a slap to the face and Twitter freaked out about it

Refs decided against a flagrant foul which led to the majority of Twitter losing their minds.

With Kentucky and Wisconsin coming down to the wire, every possession is important. That included a Kentucky possession that ended with Wisconsin's Josh Gasser down on the court after getting hit in the face by Trey Lyles.

Many thought the refs would rule it a flagrant foul which would give Wisconsin two shots and the ball. Instead refs ruled it was nothing. Twitter did not agree with the call. Here is a sampling:

No foul, & then a travel?!?! These refs need to get their eyes checked #Bogus

So a UK player intentionally hits a Wisconsin player and there is no call but the next play Wisco gets an offensive foul? #FinalFour sucks

Refs are working for KU. Bullshit no call on the clear "flagrant foul" whack to the face! Followed by another charge call. #bullshit

No flagrant foul for a smack to the face, then a phantom charge after a phantom charge wiped out a 3... refs clearly have got the signal...

Well, college basketball is rigged. @UKAthletics, you and your players are disgusting. A player punched someone and there was no foul.

Oh. Ok. So this game is rigged. Fucking called it all UK calls all the way. No flagrant, and an offensive foul. If it's a win it'll be dirty

I know the @NCAA is corrupt, but what a heinous no call on a blatant flagrant foul. #WISvsUK

Punch a guy: no call. Don't push off: offensive foul

I see @NCAA is letting the refs cheat for Kentucky again No flagrant?? How is that not a blocking foul the next drive?

This reffing is unbelievable. There is no way that is not a flagrant foul on kentucky.

While many thought that call went against Wisconsin, the Badger caught a break moments later when they scored on a putback that clearly occurred after the shot clock had expired.
