Angry Kentucky fans flood referee’s business with poor Facebook reviews following UNC loss
Published:
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.
Calipari: "Amazing that we were in this game after they tried to foul out my team." #BBN

Calipari made his displeasure with the officiating very clear in his press conferences. Total fouls called: UK 19, UNC 18.

After Wildcat fans found the Facebook page for Higgins’ roofing company, the negative reviews have begun to pour in. Despite the obvious distance between the Nebraska business and the Kentucky native UK fans, apparently the majority of its business comes from the Bluegrass State.
Here is a small sampling of some of the reviews on the site:
The reviews weren’t all bad, however, as fake Roy Williams couldn’t be happier with this business:
Well played UNC troll, well played.
