I love Florida!

No Mo' big10? teams, right?

[cheese ball chaser]

I had to do it...

[MUDPT]

Buzz kind of tore Wisconsin's defense apart in the post game show.  I agreed with everything.  Why is Hayes on the ball and not one of the guards?  Who is Trice guarding?  What is Happ doing, by the basket with a second left (guy isn't going to be able to pass it and lay it in at that point)?

Who cares though, ha

Ehh.  Trice is trying to catch up with Barry, who inbounded the ball and looped around the ball handler just like Jenkins did in the National Title game last year.  How early would Happ have to have left his man in the paint to be able to get out to contest the jump shot?  Probably too early to not give up a wide open dunk to tie the game.  The Hayes being on a smaller guy is the only real question.  Probably wanted somebody bigger to be able to contest the shot and Koenig was "hurt."

PS the Gators are awesome.

Buzz is pretty much right on all of his comments.  The guy got the inbounds with momentum and never had to go sideways even a little bit. 

Lots of talk afterwards that Hayes should have missed the second FT on purpose.  I wasn't thinking it at the time, but it probably would have been a good strategy.

Agreed. Would have ate 2 seconds off the clock and they still would be shooting the 3 to win.

Saving this watch on a loop!

[hairy worthen]

Didn't watch the game, woke up this morning, read the score and screamed "Yes, Thank you Florida" at the top of my lungs waking up the rest of the family.

I don't ussually like the negative Karma in relishing in another teams misery, but it is awesome to see the rodents lose in horrific fashion.  Not only that, if they win that game, they have a pretty clear path to the championship game. It is cold and rainy today, but what a beautiful  day.

We are all Chiozza-heads this morning.

Of all the times in this game that Hayes actually makes both free throws... What a crappy time!

That was an awesome end to a game that I was sure Wisco would finish off in OT.

[SuddenSam]

Later Felicia Hayes!!!

[jsglow]

Wonderful way to enjoy my first sip of coffee.

[MUEng92]

Badgers and Daddy Ball both out of the tournament the same night. I can watch sports again!!!

Yup! Now I'm just rooting for X and SC.

THREE guys in red inside the 3 point line watching him get that shot off cleanly. Hayes on the guard. Who cares if they get a wide open layup. 2 points and they're playing 2OT, not going home. Couldn't have been a worse defensive set up.

I don't know. From my stand point, I wish they always played D like that sooo from an outsiders perspective, it looked like great D and hope they play that way for years to come.

Another beautiful thought:  We will all be seeing that clip for years to come...like the Tyus Edney or James Forrest plays.

Who cares? Wisky was up 2 with 4 seconds remaining in OT and you are suggesting they concede a wide open layup and go to 2OT?
Have you ever seen a team do this ever???
It was poor D with a questionable approach for sure, but what you are suggesting is ridiculous.

Well I certainly wouldn't put a forward on a PG who then blows past the forward and gets a clean look at 3 while 3 other defenders are flat footed inside the 3 point line

[GooooMarquette]

At this point, it really doesn't matter whether Hayes should have missed the second FT, whether UW@Madison should have defended it differently, or whether UF was just plain lucky.

The only things that matter are that we got to see sad rodent faces, and the Big 14's seventeen year championship drought continues....

[barfolomew]

Gators defense at the end of regulation was also suspect.
If you're up 3, all 5 guys need to defend the 3pt line. Concede the layup.
