his year has been an amazing tournament Twith Duke beating Wisconsin 68-63 for the National Championship. Duke guard Tyus Jones was named the Final Four's Most Outstanding Play er. It is sad to see this tournament come to end but there have been several entertaining storylines. One of the primary storylines was whether or not Kentucky would be able to complete the first perfect season since 1976, being 40-0. Kentucky faced its toughest test of the tournament when they beat No tre Dame in the Elite Eight. Notre Dame led much of the second half but never gained a large lead. However, Andrew Harrison made two free throws with six seconds left that led to Kentucky's 68-66 victory. Kentucky would finally fall in the Final Four to Wisconsin. A year ago Wisconsin faced Kentucky in the 2014 Final Four and lost to the lower seeded Kentucky. "I thought the game [this year's Kentucky vs. Wisconsin game] was one of the best games in the tournament. I loved seeing Wisconsin getting revenge after last year's devastating loss," junior Clarence Wroblewski, Club Lacrosse Samantha Mangseth, Women's Volleyball Chris McQuade said. Kentucky displayed some frustration during Highlander: What would you eat for your last meal Highlander: What would you eat for your last meal post-game.
