Good luck to Kentucky, maybe we can see a Cats vs Cats game in a few days.  Thought last night was going to end it for us.

Two straight games like this have just about killed this old possum.  Willie Cauley-Stein's injury is a real bad blow, but it may pull these kids together stronger than anything else could.  Go Cats!   :congrats: :congrats:

It didn't look much like UK had shown up till the end of the game.  But if there is a time to show up it would be at the end.  All the games yesterday were enjoyable to watch.

Another great game, played well by both teams.  It doesn't take much imagination to see Wisconsin winning the whole show.  That big 7 foot boy is one bad man.

While I would never want to be a ref and never have claimed to be one, it seemed to me that there were quite a few questionable calls in last night's game.  They seemed to be made against Wisconsin in the first half but then they made up for it by making calls against Arizona in the second.

I think your right. While I didnt watch this game, I do enjoy watching my Greenbay packers play and I have seen that happen many times. You have to wonder if it's intentional.
I dont mean the refs are corrupt, but more often then not when bad calls are made, they do seem to attempt to compensate for it for with a different call. Kinda like an "ooooops were sorry call".
I've heard others say the say thing. I wonder if the refs are tought that at ref school. lol Is there a ref school?

Good gracious, what a game, what a tournament.  Thanks John P for playing my favorite song.  Jimbo, if the game had been any better, I couldn't have lasted through it.  Great bunch of kids on both teams, two good coaches.  Go Cats! :highclap: :highclap:

My son-in-law is ecstatic.  He was born in Connecticut and has been a U-Conn fan all of his life. 

There have been some really good games in the tournament this year.

I am super proud of these Cats. I hate to lose missing free throws, but that is part of the game. It will be interesting to see how many of these guys stay to go with next year's recruits.  Kudos to Connecticut for a prize won by fighting hard.

It is hard to believe that UK started five freshmen.  It would be the pits to be a Senior on the team, played for three years, and then in your final year you get beat out by a freshman.  I know that recruiting has a lot to do with winning, but if all the freshmen stayed I don't think I would want to go there to play.  Let me see,  :wo:   I can be a member of the UK team for three years before I might get to be a starter or I can go to University X and start in a year or two.  I heard one of the announcers talking about the possibility of several of them going pro.
