University of Kentucky Wildcats fans are so bitter about their devastating Elite 8 loss to UNC that they&#8217;re now sending death threats to one of the refs, John Higgins, and attempting to sabotage his roofing business which he cleverly named, &#8220;Rooferees.&#8221;
UK coach John Calipari first spoke about his frustration with the officials during his post game press conference, <a href="http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/19029689/ncaa-official-john-higgins-receiving-death-threats-kentucky-wildcats-fans-following-loss-north-carolina-tar-heels" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">saying</a>,
<blockquote>
&#8220;You know, it&#8217;s amazing that we were in that game where they practically fouled out my team,&#8221; Calipari said. &#8220;Amazing that we had a chance.&#8221;
</blockquote>
Shortly thereafter, Wildcats fans identified Higgins as the target for their anger and flooded his company&#8217;s Facebook page with slander, writing false and horrific messages about his roofing business. 
For example:

Additionally, Higgins has been receiving constant death threats.
According to <a href="http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/19029689/ncaa-official-john-higgins-receiving-death-threats-kentucky-wildcats-fans-following-loss-north-carolina-tar-heels" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ESPN</a>,
<blockquote>
&#8220;Sources said the phones at Higgins&#8217; home and business, also known as Rooferees, have been &#8220;ringing off the hook&#8221; since the game, with angry Kentucky fans calling to complain and some even going so far as to make death threats.&#8221;
</blockquote>
As a result, Higgins met with law enforcement for over two hours yesterday but sources say he&#8217;s still scheduled to work the Final Four this weekend.
