Hate to say it but that loss is on Grant. Not for the last shot but for selfish basketball and poor clock management in the final five minutes.

Good game, but those last minute possessions were awful, let the clock run down then put up desperation threes??? Unreal

Thanks for an AMAZING season, men!

Damn Grant. Why run into the corner?

connor_in · Mar 28, 2015

Calipari so full of suit...didn't play well? BS

Irish Insanity · Mar 28, 2015

Give Kentucky some credit down the stretch. They played great D

AvesEvo · Mar 28, 2015

The refs had everything to do with Kentucky winning. Complete bullshit!

Towns just gave us more credit than Cal did at the half and the end combined.

NDdomer2 · Mar 28, 2015

Those two bad possessions killed ND

scUM Hater · Mar 28, 2015

Great job. Wisconsin will win by double digits

Grahambo · Mar 28, 2015

Here's my one QB armchair moment: should not have tried to avoid contact.

Way to piss it away brey.....some critical mistakes at the end of this one

Just stop. Team took Kentucky to the wire, despite not hitting threes, and had a brilliant offensive game plan. Pretty much the only tactical error was not running the offense on second to last possession and going earlier.

IrishHokie22 · Mar 28, 2015

ND blew it. I'm amazed Brey didn't make any defensive adjustments. UK was destroyed them in the post possession after possession after possession, and he never once doubled. Just let it happen.

Not taking away from him or this team (I'm not a ND hoops fan), but Brey lost this game, IMO. Offense was nothing more than Grant isolation down the stretch and just awful defense for most of the night. I would have doubled and taken my chances on them making 3s before I would let them get an easy bucket every damn trip down the floor.

I got the feeling that ND could have run the table if they had beat Kentucky. I don't think anyone else stops them. Too bad they had to face them this early.

IRISHFAN76 · Mar 28, 2015

Well not going to lie that sucks oh well we are ND proud of the fight in the fightin irish

No they didn't. the refs were better in the second. We missed 3 free trows and then grants decision making was terrible is what cost us the game. for the first time this season he got selfish.

dang227 · Mar 28, 2015

Sad to say it looked like we were the team that panicked in the last minute. All semblance of an offense went out the window. Grant taking step-back threes instead of initiating contact on drives or dishing out. This one hurts right now despite the terrific season.

Exactly nailed it. Stagnant that possession, no ball movement. None the less, the team far surpassed my expectation tonight.

I agree. I also was irked he called the last timeout instead of saving it for the moment they really needed it with 6 seconds left. Hats off. Great game, great team. Hope they hold their heads high after this one. Fought tooth and nail all game.

Irish Insanity · Mar 28, 2015

The only blame for this loss falls on the creation of the Fire Brey thread

The replay at the end showed Grant was blocked but they didn't call it. Had no problem calling the block on Jackson, which could and maybe should have been a charge. Either way the refs helped KY more than they did ND.

Exactly what I thought Cal is a douche

Great game but one heck of a heartbreaker. Last couple of possessions killed them.
