April 6, 201412 yr What a run and ride for UK and its fans. Having to play an undefeated Wichita State, hot Louisville team, and the best of the B1G to make the national championship game is not an easy task and wouldn't have been for anyone else. This was also done without Stein since the beginning of the Louisville game. Not too shabby; congratulations to UK and its fans. I picked the last team standing in the Midwest to win; no reason to change my mind now. Lets keep it in the Commonwealth.
April 6, 201412 yr From what I'm seeing on Twitter, UK is the first team to win 4 straight NCAA tourney games by 5 or fewer points in the tourney's 76-year history. Can that be right? That's what I heard. Also, no player has ever before had three game winning shots in a row during the NCAA tournament.
April 6, 201412 yr The seeding committee must have been high, 7&8 seeds in the finals. The 7 seed was the highest seed in regional finals ever.
April 6, 201412 yr ^^^ That shot was deep Yep. Matt Jones tweets that tonight was the most attended NCAA Tournament games ever at 79,444.

April 6, 201412 yr I have always mocked, and will continue to mock, teams that lose players who are injured during STUPID, STUPID, STUPID celebrations. Gee, let's get 10+ players who are 200+ pounds to roll around on the floor. What could POSSIBLY go wrong? An injury to a hand, wrist, elbow, foot, knee, ankle? Nah, not possible....
April 6, 201412 yr Oh, I almost forgot, Sir Charles said "Cal is a great coach." (Like we didn't know that already.")
April 6, 201412 yr What an unbelievable run this has been. Just incredible and a joy to watch. (You know, aside from the nerve wracking anxiety!)

I feel the EXACT same way. I remember catching some flack years ago when Cousins hit the buzzer beater to tie the SEC Championship game against Mississippi State. They chased Cousins down, leaped on him, then basically piledrived him into the ground. I thought (and still think) it was super stupid. Just think about the Georgia player tearing his ACL celebrating a TD in the very first game this past year.
