Last night's loss to Arkansas marked
Kentucky's fourth consecutive loss when referee Roger Ayers is patrolling the court with his exhausted whistle. Think about that for one second. Kentucky, a team that hasn't lost many games under John Calipari, lost its last four that Roger Ayers officiated.
In those four games, John Calipari received three technical fouls (his streak ended last night) and the opposing teams shot a combined 142 free throws. Better yet, Kentucky attempted fewer free throws than its opponent in all four games. May I remind you, Kentucky is ranked eighth in the nation in free throw attempts per game. Kentucky rarely makes fewer trips to the stripe than the other team.
Let's continue, shall we? John Calipari's record is 135-30 at UK over the last four and a half years. He is 2-5 when Roger Ayers is involved.
So we can all agree we've seen enough Rogers Ayers for awhile. He needs to stay away from Kentucky and stick to letting
11 players on the court in Sun Belt games.
