Whatever you say chief. You're the one reaching.

 

lol reaching? You compared burning a tree to a death threat. I didn't.

I'm not comparing anything to anything. You are doing the comparing. They are ALL idiots. They should all be prosecuted (the tree guy spent time in prison, by the way).

Every fan base has idiots. Even Louisville. Even North Carolina. Even Duke. Even Kennesaw State. Even Incarnate Word.

 

Nobody here is debating that.

lol have you read ANYTHING I've said? I said multiple times the refs were bad both ways. The first half was hard to watch it was so bad.

 

The first half was not bad both ways. The majority of what could probably best be termed 50 50 calls usually all went UNC way in first half. In the second half it was pretty even because there definitely were calls on both sides that could be questioned.

 

At the end of the day UK still had their shot to win but didn't get it done.

Not justifying anything, but even comic book nerds have their idiots:

The refs hurt both teams as is the case a lot. The refs in the end did not cause one team to win and the other team to lose. The better team won. NC played better team ball and that was all the difference they needed. One and done was close again.

No sense in the hatred being shown to the inadequate ref. But "hatas are gonna hate". Just like the non UK fans that keep hitting on this particular board.

I only know of one true "UK hater" that truly shows hate with their post on this board.

There's at least two I can think of....

Higgins one of 9 officials working this weekend, wonder why? Apparently bosses don't listen to popular BIASED opinions of unknowlegable general public.

 

I said I wasn't going to say anything else in this thread but I've got to address this.

 

No one is saying the guy is not a good referee. But it does appear in the Kentucky games that I've seen him officiate that UK gets the short end of the stick when it comes to his game decisions. I mean, there couldn't have been worse calls than the call against Miller vs UConn in 2011. Miller is standing straight up under the goal not touching anyone a the Huskies player simply jumped to his right and flopped down, and Higgins raised his arm and called a foul on Miller. Later in the game the same ploy was pulled against Liggins with the same result. And in 2014 vs UConn Poythress scored a basket on the baseline and a Huskies defender jumped backwards and flopped and Higgins wiped off the points and called Alex for a foul. Those are huge calls. He was also part of the shot clock violation points that Wisconsin got in 2015 that wasn't disallowed even after they were scored after the shot light and horn sounded. That was huge at the time in the game.

So, I'm not saying he isn't a good ref when he chooses to be, but in the UK games he has worked he makes it look too obvious. He's human just like everyone and has emotions and feelings, maybe he doesnt like UK or Cal, or whatever.

He also does this in other games I've seen him officiate not involving Kentucky. He seems to lean toward one team over the other in some games. When a referee sticks out to where he is noticed more than the game or the other two referees then there's something wrong with that referee.

As far as his being awarded the Final Four I don't know what kind of system they use to determine that but I'm believing it has to be political in some way because there's no way this guy deserves to be a part of the Final Four. However, I'm sure UNC is tickled pink. Meeks finished Sunday's game with about 9 fouls but as we know most werent called. Not looking good for Oregon and the other two.

 

atm10, to say that this guy called a good game Sunday is either you just refusing to see or being biased toward referees. Not all referees are on the up and up. Higgins has a history with Kentucky and when he's involved in their game key players usually go to the bench early, points are wiped off, flop fouls are called, etc.

 

And as for people harassing Higgins' business and personal life, I'm 100% against that. 300 or 400 reviews of a business (several probably done by the same people over and over) is a small number when speaking of the thousands that represent BBN. The people doing that aren't 1 or 2% of the fan base. There's idiots in every fan base but because Kentucky has the largest college basketball fan base in the country and is high profile ours stands out more when this kind of nonsense happens.

 

And lastly, JOHN HIGGINS DOESN'T DESERVE TO OFFICIATE IN THE FINAL FOUR.

Call it bias if you want. That's my opinion. To support this guy and others like him is bias in itself.

Well when we see a story on ESPN (along with several other national media outlets) about every other group of fans harassing a referees personal business page, your point will be valid.

 

Does the idiot that killed the trees in Auburn count?

Neither of those justify the idiocy known as BBN (and it's not all fans) and the death threats sent to a human. You seriously compared burning a tree to a death threat? You really are reaching

 

A verbal threat is serious but just a threat. This nut job actually killed the trees bragged about it on air. Psycho is psycho.

Hatin on the haters.

 

Not really just "hatin the game"
