As a Gator fan, if they never have another tournament game in that stupid stadium in Dallas, it'll be too soon. They were ice-cold in that cavernous hall of hell last year against FGCU and Michigan and again tonight. UConn played better, and it's sad to see the seniors go out without the title, but they simply ran into a team they couldn't outwork and couldn't solve tonight.

Wilbekin and Frazier II's performance was awful. I know Wilbekin had cramps, but still... I'm still amazed at how UCONN lost to Louisville by 30+ and to the Houston Cougars (gotta give props to the hometown college), but somehow upped their play, especially on defense. To be honest, I didn't even have them getting past St. Joe's. Another thing I can't fathom is how most or all of their shots made in the second half were in the paint.

For the Kentucky-Wisconsin game, I think it's only fitting that Aaron Harrison hits another game-winner and that Wisconsin loses on a last-second shot (which ironically, bounced off the glass like Nick Johnson's last-second shot against the Badgers). I'm proud that the Harrison brothers (out of Richmond, TX by the way) helped the Wildcats to get to the National Championship.

FWIW, I'm pulling for Kentucky to win it all. If anyone cares, my primary bracket had Michigan St. winning the tournament over Michigan, while my secondary bracket had Florida defeating Duke.

2 Reasons you're wrong and every one should root for UCONN:
1. Kentucky is KENTUCKY
2. UCONN's star player is named Shabazz Napier. How do you not root for that?

But seriously though, I've been real impressed with both teams so far. If UCONN came adjust on the fly and keep UK off guard the way they did to Florida, they ought to win. OTOH, if UK can establish themselves inside, maybe get the Huskies' bigs in foul trouble, and play lock-down perimeter D, it's all Wildcats.

I have been really impressed with UCONN and Shabazz Napier is a complete baller. That guy, I feel, could be better than Kemba Walker. Guy is small compared to others on the court, but he is smart with the ball and is good at penetrating and dishing it out. Kevin Ollie did a great job at coaching him and the whole team.
