Re: Ostensibly Hoops
UK fans start petition to keep John Higgins from ever officiating a Kentucky game in the future.

Results of a few of Higgins' games he reffed.

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
So you had less fouls and shot more ft's when he was reffing in the UConn game, and you shot 6 more ft's than UCLA when you played them. Seems like a strong basis to keep him from ever reffing UK games again...

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
Was going by the W-L record... UK, the school with the most wins in NCAA history, lost 5 of the 8 games he reffed. EKU and Cornell were easy wins no matter who reffed. If it had been a difficult opponent UK would more than likely have lost those also. Vandy was a home game. Higgins either hates UK or Calipari or both.hedge wrote:So you had less fouls and shot more ft's when he was reffing in the UConn game, and you shot 6 more ft's than UCLA when you played them.

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
"Was going by the W-L record..."
But in a couple of those games you lost, you were either called for less fouls than the other team or you shot more ft's than the other team, or both. How can you blame the ref under those circumstances? Seems more logical to blame your own coach or players. Or, most logically of all, UK fans...

Not anymore. Today they are called "deplorables" and blamed for all the world's problems.

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
Jesus christ, you had a 5 point lead (or was it 7?) with under 5 minutes to play and you lost. Had nothing to do with anything that happened in the first half. Would've lost worse if not for three 3's in the final 50 seconds, one of them borderline miraculous. Monk and Fox were a combined 9-24 for the game, and if they hadn't hit those 3's at the end, it would've been worse than that. It was a gift that Humphries and Hawkins got to play as much as they did, they were far more effective than Monk and Fox. We were playing with a white mormon at point and a 4th string freshman in the first half when Berry rolled his ankle. Let it go...eCat wrote:this has the UK fans stirred up

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
I'm not making a big deal of it, but you can't say it didn't have anything to do with the first half. I"ve never seen a reaction like this to officiating before. And I'm not going to hear any shit about whiney or entitled UK fans - that doesn't mean you and others won't do it, but this isn't Goldenbrea territory. This is about fans and media before the game noting we have this particular ref, about non UK fans and media during the game calling out the ref and about the result of the game.hedge wrote:Jesus christ, you had a 5 point lead (or was it 7?) with under 5 minutes to play and you lost.

What if you heard this story -that an official contacted the refs and told them to balance it out, the second half begins and UNC is slapped with some petty fouls and no calls, and UNC goes on to lose? Would you be talking about let it go then?
If what Gabriel says is true (and I'm not saying it is) this is a huge issue.
whats done is done, but I do believe its worth noting that Higgins has a well known reputation before the game and continued to reinforce it during the game. Would another ref changed the outcome? We'll never know. But this isn't talking about a single play and saying it should never come down to a single play determining the game. This was about a group of calls made by him in the first half, and then the perceived "make up" calls in the second half to balance it out.
I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

Coastal Carolina's cheerleading team has reportedly been suspended due to multiple allegations, including prostitution.
According to Ian Cross and Sage Speaks of WMBF News, a CCU cheerleader who spoke on the condition of anonymity said multiple cheerleaders were questioned by police after an anonymous letter was sent to school president David DeCenzo.
The letter alleged that Coastal Carolina cheerleaders engaged in "prostitution, purchasing alcohol for underage team members and paying others to complete their homework assignments."
Police reportedly searched through the cheerleaders' cellphones during the questioning and released them Wednesday after telling them they had done nothing wrong.
While no incident reports have been filed, a cheerleading showcase the team was set to host April 4 has been canceled, and an anonymous cheerleader said the squad will no longer take part in a national competition in Daytona Beach, Florida, per Cross and Speaks.
