How did the refs cheat UK out of a final four lol? The fouls were 10-10 at half, UK finished with one more for the game, and UNC took 8 more free throws.
What is pathetic is Kentucky fans making death threats to the ref as a reason why they didn't make the final four.
No-one made any death threats. Were there any arrests? People get arrested for death threats. It was all a narrative to try blaming UK fans for the pathetic performance, once again, of Higgins.
Sure some people went over the line and commented on his FB page among other ill advised actions. The majority of UK fans did nothing other than take note of that corrupt pos taking us out of another tournament early.
There is a thing called momentum in a game. Officials can control momentum like, I don't know, ignoring a blatant foul at the end of the half, calling fouls early on key players to bench them and calling a phantom foul when we were on a run, had gotten a turnover and were heading the other way.
You can't just look at stats and get a clear view of the affect an official can have on a game. But then you're a UNCheat fan and have now divorced yourself from any and all reasoning and logic by justifying decades of academic fraud so I don't expect you to understand.
