Doesn't even hurt

Beating an upperclassmen laden UNC team was a difficult proposition. Especially twice in a row.

UCLA played their share of freshmen. Even so we came one basket away.

If this loss doesn't hurt after the guys overcoming the crooked refs to get beat by a walk on at the horn with a career high ..you're not a true fan...Im mad and hurt as hell

You're not a fan if losing on a buzzer beater to a bunch of cheating bastards to go the Final 4 doesn't hurt

UK was fortunate to be in the game at the end. Down 7 with less than a minute? It's remarkable Ky had a chance given the fact that Bam turned it over on one possession and Monk bricked a three on another – all in the last minute +.

Kentucky battled and ran up against a UNC team that had five 5 star juniors and seniors. Maye made a great shot. It happens. Go hug your families and be grateful that life is bigger than a basketball game. I know it hurts, but it's still a game.

It rains on the just and the unjust. UNC is proof of the latter being true.

Me too. And UK did everything in the world to lose the game at times as well. It wasn't all officiating.

But it was some officiating, right? How many points was that amount of one sided officiating worth? How many points should one team have to spot another?

I hurt with every loss.

All I ask for is a good game and let the best team win. I can live with a lose when a better team beats you on any given day. What I can't stomach is how the refs take that away. It's a shame they steal that from us. I've never wanted a guarantee. Just a fair opportunity.

Look, if Hawkins doesn't miss a 1-1 and we score those 2 it is in OT. If Briscoe hits one of the FTs he missed, Monk with that bad TO with less than 2 to go and on and on. The fact of the matter is UK did enough to lose the game on its own.

ya hurts, but time heals all wounds. What hurts the most is we lost by 2 in last second shot. I would of rather lost by 25 then it would not hurt so bad.

I don't know about all that. I'm hurt by that Laettner shot to this very day.

I don't know about all that. I'm hurt by that Laettner shot to this very day.

I still do not believe he made the shot.
