they would've forced turnovers

Wall was hounding those guys and the refs always change and let a little more go

I think it was 8-10 points and Kentucky sat back and WVU pushed it to 63-46 or something like that

I greatly enjoyed the year. I wanted this for Patterson. Cousins and Wall, those guys are great kids, and them putting UK back on the map and getting ready for great NBA careers will help the Cats a lot...but Patterson, the guy was one I wanted to get a chance to play for it all.

It's nice knowing the Cats will be back, probably next year, maybe even in this same spot. It's gonna be a young team again, but that's what you get with Calipari. Hopefully he adjusts, improves his coaching and continues to get into these spots. The ride was fun.

Always next year. I just hope we can win one while I'm here. I thought this was the year.

I think this season has to go down as a disappointment for Kentucky honestly. Knowing Wall was a 1 and done coming in, and knowing there was a good chance Cousins was the same, I think the mindset had to be Final 4 or bust (at minimum).

I'm very surprised by this result though. What a strange Final 4 it's shaping up to be.

Probably works out better in the end that uk lost. Cal will get caught cheating again. Now they won't have to take a title away.
Not hatin either, cal is just a proven cheater.

I enjoyed watching uk play this year. Cousins is gonna make a great pro. I'm not crazy about wall but his game will fit the NBA style nicely!! Bledsoe is fun to watch too.

I'm sure uk will be right back in the elite8 again next year.

Just to pat myself on the back. My final 4 for a big money bracket.... Duke, WVU, Kansas, Cuse. Kansas over WVU in the final. I have a legit shot of winning....I've never hit on one of these EVER.

Well, what does WVU like to do...play 1-3-1 zone. UK also is NOT a good FT shooting team. UK won't have the easy inside access they did vs Cornell and others. They will have to shoot much better from the outside to beat WVU.
Wow, Digger and I were on the money! Shocking! And yes, in my bracket, I had WVU winning this game as well(although I missed out on the other 3 teams! lol). I have liked this WVU team since watching them closely vs OSU. Just a tough bunch who play very good defense.

Any issues in Morgantown last night? I know they are on spring break, but I'm wondering if they got out of control. My sister goes there. I tried to call her, but I'm sure she is dealing with a massive hangover right now.

There were a few fires. Not too bad for it being Spring Break. Mostly just people getting together downtown.

Here is one video:

What does Kenzo's dance for "Do the Shizz" have to do with the Kentucky fans?
