Todays officials: John Higgins, Verne Harris and Randall McCall.

Its the same ref. Same guy that let Sullinger charge through our defenders while calling fouls on us and Craft hack the **** out of our guards with no call all while fouling out Dion in 20 minutes and James in 11.
Let's hope for a make-up game!
 
May see JB pick up his first technical in quite awhile if Higgins pulls the same this year!
 
Why must we always get the worst refs?

But we won this game to go to the FF. Are you guys confusing this with the 2011 debacle against Marquette?

Looks like people were worried ahead of time because of his work in the Ohio State game.
 
We handled our loss a lot better than Kentucky fans.

Referee John Higgins met with police after Kentucky fans' harassment, per report

If the NCAA had integrity they would do what FIFA does and make Kentucky play home games in an empty arena.
The tweets by coach Cal have been removed. Probably wisely on his part.

That said, his post game interview was amazingly CLASSY. He went out of his way to praise NC and say it was a slug fest till the end. He made some very subtle references to how the refs, presumably Higgins, had calls in the first half which he felt decided the outcome, and said he told his players at halftime "It is what it is" and for them just to deal with foul trouble as best they could. The two players interviewed were totally dignified and calm.

All in all I could not have asked for a better response from our own Coach B and any of our players. Anything the UK fans did were not the result of this press conference IMO.

But MAN would I love to know what was in those tweets by Coach Cal!!! They may or may not have helped spur the fans to attack Higgins.
