Wisky took down one dark knight and I hope they can take down another. It is a difficult task to defeat two one-and-done teams in a row, but maybe Wisky's experience and maturity will prevail.It would be good for college basketball.

Honestly Wisconsin is simply the better team. Sorry Kentucky but you got by in a weak as shit SEC conference this year and probably would have had 4-5 losses easily in the B1G. Exposed.

Glad to see UK and there bandwagon fans get punched in the mouth tonight. Wisconsin will blow out Duke, second half won't even matter. Hell Wisconsin could put Dekker, Kaminsky and 3 cheerleaders and still beat Duke.

Also glad we won't have to put an * by the championship this year. Kentucky is playing with fire.

You didn't say that they were 2 of YOUR most hated programs. You said that in your opinion they are 2 of the most hated programs in the country. English is hard.

I dunno? That, while you definitely seem to hate them and they might not be the most loved team nationwide (although they were getting that sort of press in comparison to others in the Final Four), to act like they're one of the most hated whom no one can cheer for IN COMPARISON TO KENTUCKY is pretty hilarious.

Or, par for the course, since I don't think you've given any actual intelligent commentary. Just "I HATE THEM THEY SUCK!!!!" over and over again like a little kid. That'd fit in on the Poli board better than here, where people actually use facts and stats.

Can we now establish that Calipari is NOT a good coach when it comes to preparation and game coaching? With that talent, how does a team go three consecutive possessions and NOT run a play, and let the shot clock expire in crunch time? He ran a 1-4 set for Harrison to go one on one. Are you kidding me, that is high school shit. Has two seven foot top 5 picks they never touch the ball. Honestly, that was pathetic to even watch.
That being said, that was a beauty to watch. Wisky took ever punch UK had and responded. Wisky was just tougher and never folded. Decker and Frank continue excellent play. If these two player like they have been, they will take down Duke.

Haha, I did. No props needed. I mean if I was forced to bet money, I woulda went with UK. Just figured "IF" a team was going to take them down, it would have been Wisky. They have two players as good as any in the country, they have the size to match up with UK, rebound, don't turn ball over and can shoot it from the 3. Obviously, they would have to play really well, and luckily they did. I think Duke would have had a chance. But not as good as Wisconsin. Hell, ND should have beat UK.
Obviously, not a UK fan, far from it. But never liked how this "team" played. They get away with so much because of their talent and won most of the time because of talent. They finally ran into a team who exposed their weaknesses and was able to finish around the basket. IMO, their defense from a "team" and coaching standpoint, was never that great. They were just able to make up for it because of their size and athleticism. Anyway, I did thoroughly enjoy watching them go down. ;) Happy Easter.

BTW, how about the complete lack of class after the game by UK. Calley Stein (and others) walking off the court without shaking hands and Harrisons comments about Kaminsky during media interviews. Pretty pathetic.
