Kevin Ollie is a good story, but watching Jim Calhoun revel in delight is also a picture I don't want to see. Just a horrible all-around ending to the season.
I would rather Dook win a championship than see Cal get a 2nd.

During the 2014 NCAA Tournament, Connecticut is 61 for 61 in the last 5 minutes/overtime.

This stat astounds me.

They'll miss 1 and Harrison will rim in a 29 footer for the championship

I'd actually agree. As much as I hate UNC, I do respect Williams.

It just makes you shake your head....HOW do they keep winning these games?!?

KY will pull some bullshit out of their ass and beat UConn. There is no way they will lose that game.

Florida got outplayed. Wisconsin lost because Harrison thought launching a 27-footer was a good idea.

"I think I got hit on my arm." - Traevon Jackson in the post-game press conference.

Haha. You just don't say that stuff. Let the coaches say that BS.

Great tweet.

I think the guys in that locker room realize just how special this run for Wisconsin was and that the chance that they never get back is very real. Wisconsin doesn't get the guys Florida and UK does. This was a special group and maybe the school's best chance at ever winning a national championship.

I can't help but feel bad for Bo Ryan. Always sucks to see a coach/team/athlete so deserving come up short on their sport's biggest stage.

Their best shot is next year. Lets remember, the THREE most-talented players (outside of Kaminsky) were Freshman Hayes, Freshman Koenig and Sophomore Dekker.

They will be the Michigan State of this year in-terms of overall returning talent.

Only guy I could see jumping is Dekker, but I just don't see it. They will be back for another run.

Shouldn't need to pull anything out of their ass. They are hands down the better team. The should win by 10+, and I think they will.

To go play overseas? I don't see it happening.

Kaminsky is the only legit pro on that roster.

Yeah, but is coming back off a deep run really correlated with going on another deep run? They blew a great opportunity this year.

Yeah, I hope so. The draft boards don't really reflect it, but I was visiting the Wisconsin boards earlier this week and there was growing speculation/concern that Kaminsky might strike when the iron is hot. I think teams are going to be forced to take a closer examination of the kid now, despite the performance tonight. He was outstanding this season and at his size he is a mightily skilled big.

So Dekker AND Kaminsky could leave. Possibly.

This is true. But for some reason the game will be close, and then somehow they will pull bullshit out of their ass again.

They will all be back. Kaminski is only one that could make the jump and he is an engineering student a year from finishing. Doubtful he even considers leaving.
