I’m an Arizona fan but Wisconsin was the better team. No need to trash anyone.

I would take Michigan State beating Wisconsin in the final if it meant Kentucky didn’t win.

Must be an extremely slow news day. Once again, the media creates a non-issue.
To: MediaMole
Is that a joke? I really can't tell, but here some actual info on the subject of basketball players and graduation rates.

Wasn’t a fan it was Dennis Dodd a CBS Sports idiot . Aaron declined an interview as it was the Wisconsin team’s moment to celebrate. The reporter got huffy over Twitter and Rogers put him in his place.

I'm an Arizona fan as well (my son was at the game). You cannot win when your opponent is 10 of 12 on threes in the second half. Hats off to Wisconsin.
BTW, I was at LBCC and LBSU when Olsen was at both (one reason I was a UofA fan)

I would cheer for North Korea against Kentucky. I would cheer for baby-eating lizard aliens against Kentucky.

No. Michigan State doesn't belong there. Duke will win that game. After all, Izzo is Coach K's assistant coach for the USA Basketball teams.
Do you really want to see a Kentucky-Mich State final...ugh.

Who cares? We all know they are there to play basketball and join the big league. That secret has been out for decades.

Go Wisconsin Badgers! I hope the refs don’t do any home cooking so they can get the Blue Bloods in the final, but I would bet CBS wants Kentucky against Duke for more viewers & more $$$$$.

“Im rooting for a Wisconsin-Michigan State final”.
Wouldn’t that be great, but the Vegas money is on Kentucky/Duke and refs are gamblers too.
