    Since I really didn't care who won, I was hoping to see some history. Oh well.

    I don't know what's more impressive.

    Wisconsin defeating the undefeated Kentucky or Wisconsin winning with all those white boys on their squad.

    Hope the Badgers win; they've never won a NCAA title before.

    Too bad, dubious calls led to Wisconsin winning

    I'm really glad Kentucky lost. I hate everything about the way Calipari does things. Was happy when Kansas beat him in 08 as well.

    That officiating, SMH. At least it was equally bad.

    To be fair there were bad calls on both sides...
    Refs had a big influence

    I got so sick of watching his smug mug being interviewed after every game.

    I also love Wisconsin's squad and Bo Ryan. They have been my adopted team the entire season.

    Please beat Coach K. I'm normally a Duke "hater" but actually kind of like them this year for some reason.

    Probably gonna pick Duke to win, but it should be a good game. Doubt it lives up to this game, though.

    I don't watch either, but he's the college basketball Player of the Year. I'm guessing he's alright.

    It always comes down to what's in a team's head and if they can believe they can win. I don't think the badgers are really a better team than Kentucky, but they really had no pressure on them.

    I'm not even a Kentucky fan, but I'm just sad for those kids.

    I wonder how Frank and Dekker's game will translate to the NBA. I think Dekker will have the better career.

    Pretty much every play after the Lyles slap to the face of Koenig went against Kentucky. In Buddhism, this is a manifestation of karma.

    It was pretty obvious that Calipari was out-coached down the stretch. Bo Ryan ran circles around him, and Kentucky's offense was just egregious in the final minutes.

    I think 7 times out of 10, Kentucky wins, but Wisconsin definitely was the better team down the stretch

    I've thought for a while Dekker is a better NBA prospect. If he is a serviceable defender, no doubt in my mind.
