Add another way Nova screwed everyone. This should be the final. What a game! I'd actually be curious if you could find a metric that said Duke's regular season was better than Wisconsin's other than the committee's.

Was impressed with how Duke handled Michigan State in the 1st game. Though in the 2nd half when MSU was trying to make a comeback, there was some questionable fouls called to stimey the MSU's rally. All in all MSU had a good season and Duke answered the rallies.
Also at 36-36, Wisconsin has brought their A game. Wisconsin is a fundamentally sound team and have given Kentucky all they can handle. Both teams have a different style game, but both teams have gone toe to toe like a championship fight.

Wow, Lyles slaps a guy and no call. Then pretty suspect charge call on Hayes. How much money do these guys have on a Kentucky perfect season? Not that I'm a big Bo Ryan fan either but, lesser of two evils.

As this game is showing, it is still very difficult to win a National Championship....both teams have NBA talent on the floor.
Kentucky played hard tonight, but Wisconsin out played them going down the stretch...great game.
Wisconsin vs Duke on Monday night.

LOLOLOLOL @kentucky
On the other hand, based on the halftime interview alone, I'm 100% positive that if John Calipari decided to run for office tomorrow, he could win just about any office short of the Presidency by at least 10%. Dude simply emanates the perfect mix of charm and smarm. It's like he was built in a politician factory.

Higher-seeded team losses are in bold
FINAL SCORES National Semifinal Game at Indianapolis IN: South #1 Duke 81, East #7 Michigan State 61 National Semifinal Game at Indianapolis IN: West #1 Wisconsin 71, Midwest #1 Kentucky 64
Gives new meaning to the term "one-and-done."
Referees did all they could to give the UK/Wisky game to the Wildcats. Can't stand Bo Ryan, but very impressed by the Badgers tonight.
Wisconsin vs. Duke. Gee, who are you rooting for?

Please win this Bo. For everyone who can't stand one-and-done, just passin' through teams. Beat both of them in one Final Four.

Incredible.

I wonder what everyone who told me this was the greatest team in college basketball history is going to say. Kentucky was obviously not the better team on the floor. UNLV 91' would beat Kentucky by 15 points.

Is Calipari on the hot seat? For his high pay and the lack of championships?

Incredible. how Coach Calipari looked, that was not the play called...also the officiating leaves a lot to be desired. Wisconsin got away with a shot clock violation basket which tied the score at 60-60 and from that point on the Badgers never looked back.

I'd take Towns all day long. Cauley-Stein is hot garbage.
Kinda sad that Cal won't have a championship to be vacated though, isn't it?

UK also got the benefit of some screwy calls, especially the non-flagrant.

I think the expectations that you and other insane people on this board have of JT3 are ridiculous. They pale in comparison to the expectations of Kentucky fans. He's had 5 of these superteams and only won one championship.

Also Coach Calipari cannot cry too hard...Kentucky has been to 4 Final Fours in 5 years, but have 1 Championship to show for it. What do you think about the Harrison twins?
