My Thoughts Immediately after the National Semifinals.



1. John Calipari is one of the elite coaches in college basketball. He has been to 5 final fours, and three Championship games. If you are one of those that believe he is not elite. Then you should check yourself into the nearest psychiatric facility to you.

2. Kevin Ollie is a rising star - You can tell that his players love to play for him, and IMO his adjustment of going to 5 guards was the difference in the game. It will not be long before NBA teams will be wanting him.

3. Deandre Daniels is the guy who made himself the most money during the tournament. - I had never heard of this guy before the tournament now he is a projected Lottery Pick. A 6”9 Stretch 4 that has crazy athletic ability is a nice commodity in the NBA.

4. Wisconsin played one of the best basketball games I ever saw…. And Lost - The Badgers shot %46 from the Field %40 from the 3, went 19-20 from the line and had only 8 turnovers. In my entire lifetime of watching basketball I have never witnessed a game where I felt the Loosing team was the best team on the floor.

5. If Kentucky wins the title it will be the greatest run to the title ever. They beat a good Kansas State team in the first round, an Undefeated Wichita State Team, in the 2nd the defending Champs and Runner ups in the Next two and then a number 2 seed Wisconsin in the Final Four. Before the tournament people talked about the Midwest Region being the toughest bracket ever and Kentucky Outlasted them all and is now playing for the Chip.
