Final. The Vols move on to the elite 8 and rematch with the Boilermakers who they lost to by 4 back in November. A bad night for Cat fans having to watch both Duke and Tennessee both advance to the elite 8.

I believe, and one will never know, that if Kentucky could have figured out Oakland’s zone and also kept their 25 year old accountant from having the game of his life, they would have gone deep into this tournament, maybe even won it. When I see some of the remaining teams that made the Sweet 16 they don’t look like they have any special advantages over UK when the Cats were at the top of their game. It’s sad it ended like it did.
