Putting on Ayers AC unit repairJust post the link to his business I’ve got a nice review already typed up
I was there in person last night and even the Clemson fan who sat next to me was a bit sheepish after a couple of Roger Ayers calls (or no-calls) went their way. I had hoped that his apparent issue with us was really with Calipari - I guess not, because we seemed to be fighting against him all night.I mean, we only lost by 4. I've said this before and I'll say it forever: you shouldn't have to be perfect to win the game, and you shouldn't have to win a game twice. Just because Robinson turned the ball over one time doesn't mean the refs get a free pass.
Our bigger problem was leaving probably 7-9 FTs out there, but IMO Kentucky played well enough to come away with the win, but Ayers spotted Clemson about 8-10 points, and that was the difference.
So how is he vs the spread?
Ayers has also never swallowed his whistle on an opportunity to T up a coach or player….until last night. Ball slammed out of frustration is almost always an auto T for any ref…especially “show time” refs that like making it about them like Ayers, Shows, Adams etc.Like I said, we have to be able to overcome poor officiating. That’s what championship teams do. We couldn’t, so we didn’t deserve to win the game.
But if you look back in the history of college basketball, I bet you could count on one hand (and have a couple fingers left over) the number of times a guy got 20 rebounds and didn’t commit a single foul. That’s just absolute horse shit.
The fact you’ve officiated and think that “even free throws means a well reffed and balanced game” says everything. It’s that thinking that causes poorly officiated games.let’s look at stats. Kentucky 11-18 at FT line , Clemson 14-19. That looks pretty even to me. And it looks like they got 3 more points than we did. The game was very close. …. If put this game on the refs we look ridiculous.
Personal opinion and I have some ref experience, Ayers is one of the best in the business and last night he was the best and most consistent out of all 3 officials.
The one where the clemson guard grabbed/arm-barred Butler's arm (2nd foul??) and tackled him on what should have been a rebound and runout for UK was criminal! Ridiculous and inept officiating on that one. It sat our starting PG who was +17 +/- in 19 min. How can anyone argue that doesn't effect the outcome of a game? Especially when Butler's replacement (Kerr) was -23 +/- in 21min! Look at that call alone---and tell me how that call was made against Butler.Someone who is good with clipping and editing show Butlers 4 fouls .. his third , and maybe most crucial was a foul , I think he accidentally crashed into the guy pretty hard . But it seems like 1 and 2 were those that sometimes dont get called . And the guy is a potential defensive POY .. those type normally get breaks , not get targeted !
Thinking even free throws means good officiating and thinking Ayers is one of the best in the business tells me you've got a bad brain so I can't trust anything you say on any other topic.let’s look at stats. Kentucky 11-18 at FT line , Clemson 14-19. That looks pretty even to me. And it looks like they got 3 more points than we did. The game was very close. ….

First fault on Butler, he extends the arm on a box out the Clemson number 11 who grabs him and pulls him down. Fault happened in the grey area of coverage more towards the trail official Convington who makes the call and decides that he will sanction Butler for his extended arm . My opinion that was bad judgment call made by Covington considering how he did not sanction the same infraction consistently during the game.The one where the clemson guard grabbed/arm-barred Butler's arm (2nd foul??) and tackled him on what should have been a rebound and runout for UK was criminal!

That you Roger ??????First fault on Butler, he extends the arm on a box out the Clemson number 11 who grabs him and pulls him down.

No , but watch at 18:00 11 from Clemson being slightly pushed by Oweh when he is going up for a layup and no call by Ayers because he didn’t consider the contact being sufficient to create a disadvantage. A Clemson fan could argue that one.That you Roger ??????
Yes, I am sure he could got away with some. But so did Kerr Kriisa who also finished with 0 faults.No one will make me believe that big goofball banged around, got 20 boards and ZERO FOULS. I call BS.
Should have known it was a loss, didn’t realize he was calling that game. He’s fracking terrible. Like it is ridiculous he can even call our games.Kentucky’s all-time win % is .760.
In games officiated by Roger Ayers, it’s .500 (13-13).
In true road games officiated by him, it is .250 (3-9).
Think this guy isn’t biased/a hater/corrupt?
We got mugged all night and no calls. We breathed on Clemson and it was a foul. We should have won anyway… got to overcome the adversity. But this guy is crooked and always has been.
We had that second half steal with a runout, I think it was Butler, Robinson up top, and maybe Oweh on the other side. Butler got mugged and they got the ball back with no call. Guaranteed foul on us if we did that.Iffiest thing I saw in the condensed game was a clear foul on Butler that resulted in a turnover as he was bringing the ball up court.
Hairy dude who committed the no-call then scored and was giving our guys grief. It's almost like teams are emboldened to foul us because refs are pansy-asses who won't call everything.
He went over the back at least 3 times for rebounds.Reffing wasn't the reason we lost. HOWEVER, Ayers sucks. Clemson's goofy big went all night without a single foul. Not. ONE.
And if you defend that or think that's possible with how they were playing? I've got oceanfront property in Nebraska for you.
Kriisa’s not 6’8” 240 pounds. The big goon was knocking people out of the way all night. No fouls, BS!Yes, I am sure he could got away with some. But so did Kerr Kriisa who also finished with 0 faults.
Did Kerr have a double double due to that advantage? What a silly comparison.Yes, I am sure he could got away with some. But so did Kerr Kriisa who also finished with 0 faults.
That’s a new concept let’s call faults based on how many lbs and inches we have .Kriisa’s not 6’8” 240 pounds. The big goon was knocking people out of the way all night. No fouls, BS!

I don’t come over here much. Now I see why. We didn’t lose because of Roger Ayers. We lost because we didn’t make shots and had 10 or 11 assist and 12+ turnovers good lord guys we played like shit and almost still won.He didn't help lol but we DID NOT deserve to win.
As a fan for probably 45 years or so I am going to say it’s Kentucky not just the Coaches. It’s been bad as long as I can remember.So are we saying refs are crooked towards UK, or they USED TO BE crooked towards Calipari?
I can buy one of those, but not both.
Surprised he didn’t try to rig that game. Guess he doesn’t like UNC as well?For a Roger Ayers “fans” he is tonight at UNC vs Alabama.
Go back and watch the UofK Duke Lattener stump game. Then watch the Higgins UNC game and you’ll buy.So are we saying refs are crooked towards UK, or they USED TO BE crooked towards Calipari?
I can buy one of those, but not both.
Yes. But just know FT attempts very often don’t tell the whole story. Or much of it if there are several missed calls on fouls.I see people don’t like I posted the FT statistics. It was a response to a comment above.
Obviously, I am Kentucky fan first but this should not make us completely paranoid about all the referees. I can guarantee that majority of referees are decent guys just like majority of the Kentucky fans and our society in general .
I maintain my previous statement that Ayers had a decent game. Lee Cassell and Bill Covington they were inconsistent on calls and I can think at least 2 situations for each of them when the blew the call on their personal coverage area. As a matter of fact, Ayers, toward the end of the game when game was on the line, went out his area of coverage area to call a held ball where Covington had his feast up indicating he will call a faul ( probably) on UK just like he did before on Brea when he had clearly the option to call a held ball.
You can make the case that Cassell and Covington made some inconsistent calls but overall that’s not what cause our loss.
