I'm sure the NCAA loved hearing Shabazz's "This is what happens when you ban us!" speech at the end. :lol:

[Hearsay]

Thought the German dude was huge for UConn with Daniels being punch less. Lot of tough rebounds and loose balls down the stretch.

Your bias is pathetic. Really disappointed that you posted the game thread first and had the classless post to go with it. You would be watching more wrestling videos and unheard from if UK had won.

 

Well maybe now the seasons over he'll go back to posting and being the only to read about the Upward Basketball he's watching on Fox Sports Iraq, and what he had for dinner.

I unfortunately missed the game because I picked up a shift, just because the past 3 games 'Ive actually watched UK play they've won in the end.

 

As a non UK fan, you guys should be ecstatic you made it this far. It was a great run that just fell a little bit short. Great season for you Cats fans to end on.

Make grades punk and you don't get banned

Awesome run, could've lost any of the last 4. Uconn simply played better

Giffey was awful for 35 minutes but did make some huge plays late...

After hearing him speak it's hard to believe he didn't make good grades. Makes Eric Bledsoe sound like bill clinton

There goes my bracket!

Kentucky's 4th runner-up finish to go along with 8 titles.

[LOOGY]

All I can say is what a ride. This loss hurts, but so proud of this team. Congrats UConn, they played Defense perfectly and played a perfect game.

Hard to argue UK wasn't on the wrong side of the 50/50 calls over the final 5 minutes, and the charge was brutal. Still, they had plenty of chances to play their way through it and didn't convert.

 

Amazing run for UK, but the better team for 40 minutes took the title. One doesn't take away from the other long term...

 

Yeah, UK had chances to overcome any bad calls, just didn't do it. The 2 point blank misses late ended it.

I'm happy they made it this far, but the problem with the teams makeup is that if they don't win it all then it's tough to see them with great chance the next year because they lose everybody every year.

 

That Unfortunatly is the problem, you can't go to bed thinking "this team is young and can only get better" because they are gone after tonight

 

That is the pill we have to swallow every year and unless they keep half the freshman then it's starting over every year.

It also

Makes me wonder how NBA evaluators think. Both Uconn guards are so much better than the Harrison twins, yet they will go NBA. I don't get it but I guess that's why I am not a scout.

Cal just got asked about the Lakers job and that it was put out by Rex Chapman. his words were the Lakers have a coach and so does Kentucky and that he had the best job in the world and he wasn't going to dignify it with a response.

They did, but a couple of those calls were total momentum killers. When even GT admits it, you KNOW it's bad. :-)
