re: Kentucky fans have been sending death threats to John Higgins

In all fairness, any neutral observer could see Kentucky got a complete screwing in the first half with the majority of the awful calls coming from John Higgins. I cussed him like a dog. Having said that, the death threats are ridiculous and there is no place for that.

Yeah, but Higgins and the NCAA knew that UCLA would bring much higher TV ratings and $$$$ so.....

I have not seen the game yet because I was working at game time and have not gotten the spirit yet to watch my DVR. However I saw today on Twitter a video that was assembled that showed numerous bad calls and no calls most of which were in the first half.

Adebayo was called for Goal Tending twice and both were bad calls with the ball out of the cylinder on an offensive tip in as verified on replay per announcer analysis, not mine. The first play Adebayo did not even jump above the rim because his arm was extended.

UNC player tripped Monk and sent him flying and no call, again showed on replay.

Defensive rebound goes long and uncontested to two UK players without a UNC player within 10' and phantom foul call on Willis for over the back. Again nothing on replay.

Last play of first half Fox drives the lane and is fouled forcfully on the torso and arms by two defenders and no call, verified by replay.

Kentucky has received the toughest draws and been under seeded most years since Calipari became the coach

When were they underseeded? They've been a 1 seed 3 times (2010, 2012, 2015, deserved all of them), a 4 seed once (2011, deserved it), an 8 seed (2014, deserved it) and a 1 seed in the NIT. You think they should have been a 1 this year?

UNC has had level 1 violations pending for years but no punishment. Duke's player (Corey Maggette) received $75K in benefits while playing for Duke and not even an investigation. Kentucky has received the toughest draws and been under seeded most years since Calipari became the coach. The same corrupt ref officiated the Arky/UNC and UK/UNC games and plays a huge role in UNC advancing. The NCAA is unbelievably corrupt and SEC teams should leave the NCAA and govern their own league and championships. Enough is enough.

All this could have been avoided if Rupp hadn't shot JFK and/or Pitino hadn't been silenced when he had indisputable evidence that Duke was using alien technology in their jockstraps. The world is such an unfair place.

The total number of fouls is irrelevant and a lazy way of looking at it. Look at who the fouls were on and when they occurred or didn't occur. Sometimes one team commits more fouls than the other. The proof is on tape. If you think neutral observers like Jay Williams, Mike and Mike, Bill King, Chris Childers, Seth Greenberg etc. are all going to say Kentucky got a terrible first half whistle and there be nothing to it, then I can't help you. How about this, this fall when you come on here bitching that LSU didn't get a blatant pass interference call against Auburn at a critical point in the game, I'll point out that the total number of penalties for each team was the same so you have nothing to bitch about.

Just incase any dumbass UK fans see this....UK was only called for ONE more foul then UNC was... quit your bitching.

Not a Kentucky fan, but if you watched that game as a neutral observer and didn't see the bad calls that led to them "bitching" you don't know shite about basketball.

He's not a neutral fan. He's an UNC/LSU fan.
