40 Minutes of Agony (aka Final 4 Game Thread)

[Dr. Blackheart]

Cal blew this game when he slowed it up.  Bo won the chess match.  A great capper for his career.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

I've never been more upset in a game marquette wasn't playing in.

[mu_hilltopper]

Well, that pretty much seals it.  Worst season ever.

[MUEng92]

Thank Gad I am on vacation next week and don't have to go to work to see the red shirts.

Horribly called game. Favored badgers when it ccounted. Missed shot clock call was inexcusable.  

Cue up Chicos in 3,2,1....

[brewcity77]

So feeling sick right now.

[#UnleashJosh]

The phantom 4 points were to good.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Always felt Wisconsin matched up well with Kentucky.  Duke is another story.  The quick guards and array of shooters gave Bucky fits in Dec.  Whoever's hot from 3 will win Monday night.  Should be a great game.

UW got screwed on a number of calls too.  The Gasser charge, the non call on the flagrant, and the Hayes charge.

Foul trouble will also be huge on Monday night.  Duke has only 8 guys, so fouls will be tough for them depending how it is called.

Have to think Duke favored by 3 if I had to guess. 

[AirPunches]

Kentucky got conservative. They let their two second round picks try and carry them to the finish line. They failed. Should have gone to the lottery picks.

Badgers are so solid though. 5 players who can score from everywhere. Impossible to defend. Dekker and Kaminsky are probably 2 of the top 3 players in college bball right now. Koenig is a top 10 pg and Hayes and gasser fill the other two spots as decent role players. That is a complete basketball team.

There was no flagrant.

[MUEng92]

Umm, the Gasser charge was a charge.

[GGGG]

There was no flagrant.

It should have been.  Clearly.

[GGGG]

Umm, the Gasser charge was a charge.

Nope.  UK moved under him when he was in the air.

[Warrior of Law]

Kentucky lost the game at this moment: Koenig shoots and it's blocked.  No one on UK bothers to get the ball.  Goes out of bounds to UW. 3 seconds to shoot.  Hayes is given 5 seconds to shoot and gets a put back.  

Why did UK run that half-baked offense where they wait 30 seconds and drive to the hoop? What a way to blow a game.

[MUEng92]

Ok...

[real chili 83]

Refs reviewed it thoroughly.

uhhh, gasser's was the basic definition of a charge? The flagrant was accidental contact followed by a flop (Which would have drawn a Technical in the nba)

[Tums Festival]

Wonder who Wojo will be rooting for Monday night.

Refs reviewed it thoroughly.

And they were wrong.  

[MattyWarrior]

I am crushed, sick of the Badgers! I'm blowing Bo chunks 

[GGGG]

Nope.  UK moved under him when he was in the air.  Terrible call.  Many college basketball guys on Twitter agreed.  Definition of non-charge.

[real chili 83]

And they were wrong.  

Not.  

[AirPunches]

And they were wrong.
