Funny thing is that Michigan knew the play UK was going to run and still didn't do anything different with their defense. Oh well, SEC showing dominance. B1G had a chance to use its muscle to have 3 in the Final Four.

I'd give them that shot 10 times out of 10. He made it. Good for him.
 
It will be interesting to see if Kaminsky can can score on Randle on the inside. At least he'll be able to draw him outside with his jump shooting

Talent wins.

I do wish that Mitch would have been able to play since Michigan obviously had a weakness in almost every match-up in the paint this year. While he isn't the "raw talent" UK has, he does have the hustle and work ethic that would have made the paint competitive.

Something your team doesn't know much about. I'm sure you enjoyed the 1950s though. LOL

You're sensitive. I didn't see any other team diving on the ground like they won the title. You better hope your band of future NBA pros don't lose to white basketball.

Was great defense by LeVert but rebounding did them in.. This is why I think Beilein is flawed..

Come on... Morgan played his heart out but not having Mitch beasting the interior was a big loss. Zombie Horford was a huge liability the last couple months when Morgan got in foul trouble.

No, I just flat out don't care. I think it is hilarious you have been talking shit about Kentucky after every game. I think it's damned hilarious and I get a kick out of it. It's fun for me. Keep it comin'. :p

Did anyone's local affiliate air the net cutting for Kentucky? The local affiliate moved straight to 60 minutes without even talking to the coaches.

No other team went through the disappointment UK has after their pre-season expectations. And remember these are mostly 18 year olds. Our two sophomores who play lost in the NIT last year. They literally have never won at this level.

The Harrisons especially have been dumped on all year by the media and fans. For them to play as well as they have in the tourney and for one to make a shot to send us to the final four? Doesn't surprise me that they're celebrating like that.

I get that everyone loves to hate UK, but c'mon mang.

Aaron Harrison's shot was worth nearly $330,000 in Final Four bonuses to #Kentucky men's basketball coaches and the athletics director
 
They probably will. Wisconsin is for real.

Wisconsin lost to fucking Nebraska. Then again, so did Michigan State. I just have a hard time seeing Wisconsin beating Kentucky, especially after the teams/experiences this team has had to go through to reach the Final Four. They've played one of the toughest roads to a Final Four (IMHO) against far talented teams. It'll be a damn good game either way.

I don't think I've talked any smack about Kentucky at all. Just found their post game celebration hilarious.

UK shoots 64% from 3 point line

UM shoots 39%

I can guarantee you, in the entire world, not a single person could have called that.

yeah but all of Wisconsin's losses are clustered around one terrible stretch

Only one team won at Nebraska all year. Though Kentucky did just beat that team.

I know what you're saying (and I agree), but they lost to Nebraska in the final regular season game of the year when they were playing for a potential 1 seed and got utterly dominated by a team that has essentially 0 basketball prominence or talent. You could say it didn't matter to them or that Nebraska played above their level or whatever, but there was also a lot on the line for Wisconsin. Either way, I'm stoked for the game and it'll be a great one (I'll more than likely be there =D).

Just to clarify, I'm from Nebraska and I've followed the team my entire life. It's amazing what Tim Miles has done for the program, but I don't think they're at some even semi-elite level yet where they can win against good teams consistently (see losing in the first round of the conference tourney and NCAA tourney). They absolutely played way beyond their level in that game, but they also showed how you can shut down Wisconsin.

no team talks more trash than Michigan. Watching them throw up three with their hands when the game is 15 to 12 is hilarious

Hah! That's all you got?!? That's weak dude. Do you even watch NBA or any other sports? Come back to me when you do because you'll find that the celebration at the end of the UK game to be even more classless if you are annoyed by someone throwing up three fingers after hitting a three-point shot.

Stauskas is probably gone. Robinson's a long shot.

Robinson was playing his best ball at the end though. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him go.

Mitch too for that matter. He's not getting any younger and he might just take his chances.

Until I hear differently I'm just assuming all 3 are gone.
