I agree

Addison Lenhart yeah it doesn’t get talked about as much as it should

Agreed

The only reason Notre dame lost was cuz they didnt have another big man tht body and tire out towns thts how Wisconsin beat them because they had two big guys to body towns and shut him down and when Wisconsin did kentucky didn't have answer

@@chaisesamargis3149 TRUUEE

This game comes on the cbs sports network Saturday night. What a game!!!! GO BIG BLUE!!!!

MrMashman93 Five years to the day!

Ik same

Kentucky should have lost

I disagree, Kentucky was the most overrated team ever, whom played in the weakest major conference that year and did not play anybody. They had two O.T games against unranked.opponents, the only two good teams they played until the tourney were Texas, and LS.U, If they survived Notre Dame imagine if they had to run every week through the ACC. Imagine Virginia, , Duke, N Carolina, Notre Dame, any of them.in the same week.

One of my fav ND teams including football. Connaughton one of the best leaders ND has ever had regardless of the sport .

Kentucky fan. I always thought your team never belonged in our region. You were too good. The other side of the bracket was much easier for Duke.

The thing that will always stick out was Baylor having that early lead and in one fell swoop, the roof caved in on them! That Kentucky 16-pt blitz was epic and ridiculous!

Been asking for that one since last weekend; hasn't happened yet.

@@edwardelric880 What was the final score of that game?

@@brucetelfeyan 82-70 Kentucky.

Tyler Ulis and Devin Booker should have started over the Harrison Twins.

@@ThaiTran-oj5ls no idiot

Really?

I believe Marv was actually ill with bronchitis and was unable to announce - if you listen to the second half of the Kentucky-West Virginia game 2 days prior you can hear his voice getting worse and worse as the game went on and he sounded quite sick by the end. He missed a couple of NBA games on TNT the next week too.

Edward Kim aka ballislifekim ____E1 I want to see that West Virginia game so bad!!!!

The condensed versions are on KZfaq. They're great.

ND did an excellent job using Kentucky’s over-reliance on their size and frontcourt defense against them, not just at the rim but also off the bounce. Most teams that year weren’t as skilled offensively to give their defense problems.

Thomas only playing half of first half hurt. The irish players grant most. All that was needed was to pass ball to middle. Grant took it to far. It was disappointing but they got had by Badgers who mentally spent themsevles allowing duke to win another title that they had a cupcake run to elite 8.

Haters gonna Hate.)

He scored but was outrebounded by 6'4 white guy from Boston. Connington was drafted out of highschool in 3rd round. Offered 500k bonus. He was recruited by Irish to pitch but always wanted to play Basketball. He told baseball coach i am coming to pitch for Irish but i want to play bball. Problem was he turned done mlb bonus. He said well you can be a starter as freshman but i cant tell you you can play bball. He said i am going to tell Coach Brey about you but i am sure he knows you. He went as walkon and only was let on cause baseball coach agreed that he play until hoops over. He played sub last half fr.tear. Became 6th man then starter soph. Started jr. Oops of a year. But Grant was suspended last half of season cause grades. He had to go to summerschool not sure if student council would let him back. Connington was drafted by orioles with a 8 million contract with 2.or 3 bonus. He turned it down to play with grant unsured if he was able. This guy turned down 20 30 million to play his dream. Then he gets drafted in 2rd of Nba. Has been a solid sub. Won a slam dunk title. He has made 25 million in his carrerr. At least 15. In MLB he would be at 100 million.

Cincinnati with one of the most historic choke jobs in NCAA tournament history! Mick Cronin and that club had Nevada by the noose and let go of their grip! They will never be able to live that one down! When your up 22 deep into the second half, there's no excuses! I've been watching the tournament since the early '80s and Cincinnati epically blowing it has few, if any, peers!

They got alot of call vs irish. Auguste missed last 6 minutes of half. Also the 7 footer and 6'10 guys were outrebounded by a 6'4 irish pitcher from Boston.

I’m a ND it wasn’t a charge 2 teams playing there hearts out

@Avi Hoffman yeah as a UK fan I can confidently say if they put you guys in any other region you guys not only make the final four and could've won it all. You guys owned Duke that year.

As a notre Dame fan at the time I wasn’t a fan of the call, but the more I watched it I know it was the right call. Had Jackson gotten set in a better position a second earlier it could’ve been a charge. But leaned the wrong way. Was a great game regardless.

Edward Kim aka ballislifekim ____E1 yes

Edward Kim aka ballislifekim it was the 2018 tournament in which K St knocked off the 'Cats in the Sweet 16, not 2017

Pamela Davis honestly any Syracuse game form 2016.

why? If you can see it now, there's no need. . . .

Lebron for president 23 Nope, off the side

No it didn't there also was a play when they got 3 points when it should have been 2

It's available! That was Duke defense at its finest, holding the Zags to 1 point over the last 4 1/2 minutes! Overall, that 2015 run we had in the tournament collectively was Duke's best in their postseason history! Wisconsin's 63 the most against us! The shame of it (not that year at all) is we haven't had that level of consistency on defense in the tournament since then! It's why we haven't won a sixth title! 2015 was proof that defense wins championships! That team finished the job because every individual together bought in

@@bradlewis6514 available where?

@@tysondavis3332 sorry about that Tyson, it must not be available anymore on KZfaq! It for sure was at one time not too long ago because I watched it

@@tysondavis3332 so I apologize; I wish it still was

Crazy, feels like I watched this game a week ago

I am a Tar Heel fan and I was in Philadelphia in 2016 and saw the Notre Dame vs Wisconsin game live. Weird game. Wisconsin seemed in control but faltered late.

Absolutely loved every second of that one! In my opinion it's the greatest upset in the round of eight in the 39 years I've watched the entire tournament! And even afterwards, the Morris twins still couldn't face the fact they'd lost! Their arrogance and denial in being interviewed afterwards - "VCU didn't deserve to win that game, (we) Kansas let them win" - was about as self-centered as it gets! Truth is, VCU totally outplayed them in every phase! Kansas' historic pride got in their way of giving VCU their just credit

Besides his '08 national champs, that 2011 team maybe the second best Self has had in his 17 years at Kansas! Definitely the best he's had that didn't win it all!

Havoc

Not taking a opponent serious. The 40 minutes of 3/4 full court pressue takes it toll. I have tons of great 2nd 16 games from 70s 80s. The 89 semi Illinois vs Michigan was as good as duke kentucky elite 8 final. Last 5 of that game had guys on each side making great plays. 89 semi 2nd half was won cause Rice at 6'9 got hot and was durant like. Robinson also was having a great game dishing ang going to basket. Mich had rice. Higgens. Traylor? And 1 or 2 orther 69 6 10. Mills? Illini center 6'7 was in foul trouble. So they had 6'4 6'4 6'5 6'5 6'8. Hard to beat a team 3 times in one year. Ollini had blown them out once and by 10 or so other game. Want to see some kids from chicago who were not recruited cause the played center of power foward in high school. Same with 2005 illini. Self got the 2 and 3rd allstate kids.

Deff not a charge

Lol, wasn't close to being a charge.

No they weren't. They were fellating UK/Calipari harder than you do.

They're path was so similar to that of Vegas in 1991! Rarely tested during an overall weak schedule and finally at tournament time Vegas was tested by Georgetown! They'd had it so easy that once they'd been taken near to the wire the pressure mounted against Duke! Same with Kentucky against Wisconsin once Notre Dame gave them all they could handle! The two teams' paths was almost a direct parallel! In the end, they both cracked when needing to respond being punched in the mouth

If Kentucky would have got past Wisconsin, they would have won the whole thing.

Chris Smith nah man Duke beat Wisconsin so how would Kentucky beat Duke when they couldn't even beat Wisconsin nah g that team should've been beat by ND they just missed too many free throws

@@kcchandman2695 Wisconsin choked. Kentucky would have beat Duke

Chris Smith nah man I’m sry That Duke team was something else they played terrible vs Wisconsin and still won while Wisconsin played great

Oh please. Everything broke Notre dame's way and they couldn't capitalize.

@Avi Hoffman yes it was. If Notre Dame was in any other region they make the final four. Of this I have no doubt. They could've won it all too.

@@26michaeluk you mean the fouls that Auguste got in first half? He only played 10 minutes. Ended up playing less than 30 had 22 and 14. Cats 2 big men were outrebounded by a 6'5 white guy who turned down a 8 million dollar bonus to pitch for Baltimore. He wanted to play with grant who was suspended the year before. Then the guy ends uo playing with his hometown celtics. Was in slamdunk contest. The guy inproved his game every year for 8 years. Cats had 6 1rst round picks that next draft. How many are still playing 2?

@@shawnyoung8752 first of all v cry . You lost you a better team.

​@@26michaelukyes they had more talent than irish. They had a chance at end and all guys were to blame. Your cats had a better team but they lost to Wisconson? So a team with more size beat your guys.

Best team $ could buy.

KU is Kansas. Kentucky is UK.

I that we had that game 😂 Kentucky was stacked how many players on that team played in the NBA

Demarco Williams bruh u know how stacked the kentucky team was? and maybe booker fit better of the bench man you don’t know

Booker couldn’t guard a lamp post in college. And he was in a major shooting slump the last 6 weeks of that season. The twins were the better choices at that point and already had a runner up finish under their belts.

@@mitchellstafford6196 Exactly. They had 2 platoons. Harrison-Harrison-Lyles-KAT-Willie. Ulis-Book-Lee-Johnson-Poythress (until he got hurt). There was a legitimate argument that year that the 2nd best team in the country was UK's 2nd unit.
