Not much of a lip reader, but I think Bo Ryan just said “Blap. Braab. Bop."

MT @alylemoss: Florida loss guarantees 1st team since '97 Arizona to win national title without reg. season or conf. tourney title.

— David Teel (@DavidTeelatDP) April 6, 2014

Wisconsin-UK underway, and Dakari Johnson comes out matched up against Frank Kaminsky.

— Eamonn Brennan (@eamonnbrennan) April 6, 2014

Dakari Johnson on Frank Kaminsky. Got lost. Randle rotates to guard Frank. Easy 3 from the corner as defense shifts.

— Myron Medcalf (@MedcalfByESPN) April 6, 2014

As mentioned earlier this week, I don't think either defense can stop the other's offense.

— GLOCKNER (@AndyGlockner) April 6, 2014

I’m looking forward to more of this Nigel Hayes-Julius Randle matchup

— Ed Isaacson (@EdKMGSports) April 6, 2014

We’re back to calling fouls when people play post defense. This is the Final Four.

— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) April 6, 2014

Whoa, Wisconsin. Whoa. Strong start by the Badgers. Wisconsin in good shape as long as it avoids The Drought. Ugly when it strikes.

— Myron Medcalf (@MedcalfByESPN) April 6, 2014

Question for Kentucky is do you try to impose your pace on the game, or attack the mismatches? Obviously looking to attack early so far.

— Jonathan Givony (@DraftExpress) April 6, 2014

Third 50-50 ball Wisconsin has won leading to a basket.

— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) April 6, 2014

3s off offensive rebounds are the best 3s.

— Jeff Borzello (@jeffborzello) April 6, 2014

Kentucky is good when they are aggressive looking to get to the basket, but its also when they make bad mistakes

Wisconsin players other than Jackson taking some uncharacteristically bad shots. Jackson just being Jackson.

— mgoblog (@mgoblog) April 6, 2014

Kentucky is crashing the offensive glass now. That's the first, third, ninth, and 17th key to this game.

— Matt Zemek (@MattZemek) April 6, 2014

All that talk about Frank Kaminsky and he's scoreless and shotless 10 minute in.

— Rob Dauster (@RobDauster) April 6, 2014

Kentucky's offensive rebounding is just off the charts.

— Mark Ennis (@MarkEnnis) April 6, 2014

Julius Randle walking along the Kentucky sideline. Talking to trainer. Not sure what's going on.

— Myron Medcalf (@MedcalfByESPN) April 6, 2014

SLIM!

— bomani (@bomani_jones) April 6, 2014

Randle goes to locker room, forcing Kentucky to turn to little-used freshman 1972 Dr J.

— mgoblog (@mgoblog) April 6, 2014

Marcus Lee will not be allowed to leave the state of Texas as he's investigated for fifth-degree nastiness.

— Myron Medcalf (@MedcalfByESPN) April 6, 2014

Marcus Lee is a live body, but not think enough to handle Kaminsky in low post. Dakari Johnson back in.

— Pat Forde (@ByPatForde) April 6, 2014

Andrew Harrison’s 2nd foul will send him to the bench. Key stretch for UK.

— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) April 6, 2014

Alex Poythress. So filthy. Filthiness. Filthirific.

— Myron Medcalf (@MedcalfByESPN) April 6, 2014

Consensus seems to be that it's a flopgrant

— Eamonn Brennan (@eamonnbrennan) April 6, 2014

Badgers already 10-10 from the line.

— Jerry Palm (@jppalmCBS) April 6, 2014

WIS continues to fend off UK on the offensive glass.

— Matt Zemek (@MattZemek) April 6, 2014

Important 3:30 for Kentucky.

— Myron Medcalf (@MedcalfByESPN) April 6, 2014

Points in the paint: #UK 18, Wisconsin 10. Three-point scoring: Wisconsin 12, UK 3.

— Eric Crawford (@ericcrawford) April 6, 2014

My mom wouldnt be happy if I flopped that way. She'd smack me and say "boy get back in there and quit being soft" haha

— Perry Stevenson (@PsteveBBN) April 6, 2014

Kentucky shooting 50 percent from the field, losing by 6.

— Myron Medcalf (@MedcalfByESPN) April 6, 2014

Wisconsin not getting enough done with Kentucky putting a Hawkins-Polson backcourt out there.

— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) April 6, 2014

UK fans with the loudest "bullshit" chant ever. Could hear it clear as day way up here.

— Chris Dobbertean (@ChrisDobbertean) April 6, 2014

It’s been a joy to watch Julius Randle play college basketball. Lived up to the hype.

— Matt Norlander (@MattNorlander) April 6, 2014

Randle puts the ball down on his right side, he’s spinning back left. 40-36 Badgers, 31.3 to go in the half.

— Raphielle Johnson (@raphiellej) April 6, 2014

Kentucky getting a nice lift from its overlooked-native-son backcourt of Polson and Hawkins. Another donnybrook of a game for the Cats.

— Pat Forde (@ByPatForde) April 6, 2014

Wisconsin let Kentucky grab momentum at the end of this half.

— Seth Davis (@SethDavisHoops) April 6, 2014

Julius Randle – "Let's f***ing go. We takin' this s**t."

— SB Nation CBB (@SBNationCBB) April 6, 2014

So we've had two huge swings, and now we're just trading baskets. I don't know if it's their fault, but UK seems to be in all the fun games.

— /r/CollegeBasketball (@redditCBB) April 6, 2014

That's really just a play-on. Pat Adams and sketchy block calls don't mix.

— Matt Zemek (@MattZemek) April 6, 2014

Close game with guys making shots > whatever that was from Florida and UConn.

— Mark Ennis (@MarkEnnis) April 6, 2014

That's only Wisconsin's 4th turnover of the half and 6th total. Seems like more.

— Jerry Palm (@jppalmCBS) April 6, 2014

Wisconsin hasn't missed a free throw (16-for-16). Kentucky shooting 51 percent from the field. Wisconsin (6) has more turnovers than UK (4).

— Myron Medcalf (@MedcalfByESPN) April 6, 2014

Over the last 72 minutes against Michigan and Wisconsin, UK has rebounded 47% of its misses.

— John Gasaway (@JohnGasaway) April 6, 2014

Wisconsin has had the ball for the last 1:05 and hasn't got a shot off yet. Three Kentucky fouls in this possession

— Jerry Palm (@jppalmCBS) April 6, 2014

That was a long, long time for Kentucky to have to defend. And they finally got Jackson on Young with predictable results.

— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) April 6, 2014

Man, that was the consummate Wisconsin possession. Beautiful.

— GLOCKNER (@AndyGlockner) April 6, 2014

I think that’s how you get back the two points you gave away on the other end. Poythress, good lord.

— Raphielle Johnson (@raphiellej) April 6, 2014

ALEX POYTHRESS LADDERS ARE ILLEGAL ON THE BASKETBALL COURT SIR

— Eamonn Brennan (@eamonnbrennan) April 6, 2014

Alex Poythress, my gosh. Dunked it over a guy while being fouled with full extension.

— Pat Forde (@ByPatForde) April 6, 2014

Poythress is manly.

— Mark Ennis (@MarkEnnis) April 6, 2014

Yikes!

Poythress. Poster.

Kentucky will go to the line with a chance to tie after the last media timeout.

— Jerry Palm (@jppalmCBS) April 6, 2014

Randle reminds me of z-bo all left but you can't stop it..

— Anthony (@AnthonyMcBride_) April 6, 2014

Wisconsin’s guards have been pretty bad in under-10 shot-clock situations this half.

— Eric Crawford (@ericcrawford) April 6, 2014

Insane finish by Poythress. Wow.

— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) April 6, 2014

Game over.

— Ben Swain (@TheBenSwain) April 6, 2014

Alex Poythress has been something down the stretch.

— Jeff Borzello (@jeffborzello) April 6, 2014

Alex Poythress just had the mother of 45-second sequences. That was balling.

— Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) April 6, 2014

Reduce the number of timeouts.

— John Gasaway (@JohnGasaway) April 6, 2014

Dekker hit a three to start the second half. Hasn't attempted a shot since.

A Harrison missed a big shot in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in what feels like forever.

WOOOOOW.

— Raphielle Johnson (@raphiellej) April 6, 2014

Oh WOW!

— Chris Dobbertean (@ChrisDobbertean) April 6, 2014

And the pump fake gets Andrew Harrison at the worst possible time. Wow. Jackson big in the clutch again.

I hate that call

— Keeneland Dan (@fatbaldguyracin) April 6, 2014

Missed travel on Jackson

— GLOCKNER (@AndyGlockner) April 6, 2014

I think that’s the same ref who missed that the ball went out of bounds a few trips back

Aaron Harrison has been the guy to hit big shots in the tournament. Can he do it again?

Oh. My. God.

Retire Aaron Harrison's jersey in Rupp right now.
