Well, this is one way to get over a tough loss in the NCAA tournament.

Angry Kentucky fans seeking vengeance have found it in the form of attacking a roofing company from Nebraska named John Higgins Weatherguard, Inc. Why would Big Blue Nation find solace in this? It’s owned by the referee from the Wildcats loss to North Carolina.

Of course, Kentucky head basketball coach John Calipari seemed to take issue with the officiating from last weekend’s game, as noted by several people from his post game press conference.

haha of course you wouldn’t. Tarheel fans are notorious of not noticing the favorable treatment they get. the fact that UNC has not received the death penalty for 30 years of out right cheating is evidence lol.

Bears repeating. They are easily the most arrogant, thin-skinned, humorless fan base I've ever encountered. And don't get me started on Roy Williams and his hokey "aw-shucks, I'm just a simple country feller" act.

I read this article at lunch; great synopsis for those who aren't aware of how long this scandal has been going on.

North Carolina might be the most fortunate team in this Final Four

That’s the first time I’ve seen “The Shot” from that angle - pretty cool with the ball in the air and the scoreboard above with time racing to zero.

Seems fitting the “Southern Comfort” logo on the scoreboard, too.

He was pretty damned bad especially the first half it was obvious who he had coming out of that bracket. I have seen some bad refs but this guy was unreal.

Give the KY basketball program the death penalty so the fans will really have something to whine about.

It was a great game and both teams played as hard as they could. There are no losers in a game like the UK-NC game. I was cheering for UK but I didn’t really think the undersized Cats could outdo the larger Tarheels. The game came down to one shot made with .3 seconds remaining. Congratulations to NC and if the UK players really want to win an NCAA Championship then they can return for next season. They’ll be unstoppable. Meanwhile, the UK sore-loser snowflakes need to get over it. And leave the referee alone.

This is exactly what is wrong with university sports as revenue generators for schools.

Whether the ref made a bad call or two is irrelevant in the REAL world!

It’s a GAME, people!

To try to destroy someone’s livelihood over a GAME is beyond the pale!
