When Wisconsin Snapped Kentuckys 39-Game Win Streak! | April 4, 2015

Sam Dekker and Frank upped their draft stock heavily this game 😂

[@trevor3575]

Sam dekker shouldn’t have even made the nba and ended up being drafted 18th due to this tournament run. He really wasn’t great at anything, couldn’t ball handle, couldn’t shoot, didn’t rebound, slow on defense but this tournament exclusively he made some HUGE 3s

Frank Kaminsky was a monster college and is still in the league. Dude got shafted getting drafted to the Hornets.

I watched this game live and Kentucky’s late game collapse was insane. They let Wisco go on a 7-0 run to take back the lead, and then couldn’t hit a shot when they were fouling with seconds to go. It was insane, especially knowing where most of those Wildcats are now

38 game win streak. I’m a UK fan and Wisconsin was the one team I didn’t want to see UK face going in. They played a great game and deserved to win, as they did. UK got way too conservative when they finally got up 4 points with 5 or so minutes to go. Kudos to Wisconsin for a great game.

[@alexhill7326]

My senior year - greatest day of my young life followed two days later by the worst day of my young life 😂. But still an absolutely epic game that looking back, the Badgers really had no business winning based on talent alone - they were just better coached, more cohesive, played better defense, and Kentucky definitely choked in some key moments. To this day I still name every March Madness bracket I make "38 and Done" - never forget.

[@HerbHerman-le5ux]

Wisconsin really really benefitted from 35 second shot clock. Teams all year tried to speed up badgers unsuccessfully.

[@thecellulontriptometer4166]

To be fair Kentucky seems to have a challenge with Wisconsin teams. In the tournament they are 1-4 against Marquette since 1970. But 2015 Wisconsin was the best because this team is filled with Wisconsin grown players. Because I see a lot of High School games, I am always frustrated that all these national recruiting lists leave out really good Wisconsin players.

[@bingefest1799]

The fact that Booker came off the bench speaks to how stacked this Kentucky team was

I keep hearing that this was the game that broke Cal. 3Y from his first tournament win, goes undefeated in 2015, then loses like this to UW…he hasn’t been the same since

Coming into this game, Kentucky had been to 4 final fours in 5 seasons, 2 title games and 1 championship. They didnt make a final four the next 10 years. And had multiple major first round upsets (st peters and Oakland to name a few). You might be right

This Kentucky team was just another stacked Cal team that choked when it mattered. This Louisville fan will miss Cal at Kentucky. Yea he’d always beat us, but I always knew he’d choke in March. The only exception was Anthony Davis. How many pro players compared to banners? Just this team had KAT, WCS, Lyles, and Booker off the bench.

[@chrislewis5069]

[@TheRCBuildersPost]

Dang. Reaching 10 years into the bag. Wisconsin really fell off, huh? 😂

[@justinlaw9336]

As crazy as it sounds, I STILL have not got over this loss. Easily were the best team that year. U know u gotta all time great kinda team when losing a game in the final four is considered a failure, and major disappointment. And dont get me wrong, Wisconsin was damn good. But if those temas (UK and Wisc) played 10 times, I would say UK wins 8 games per 10. BUT...Thats part of why March madness is so popular. Because when ur playing in a single elimination tourney, anything can happen. U have one off game, ur out. So usually, the best team in the country dont always win. In fact, the best teams rarely do win it...But yeah i was crushed watching my Cats lose this game. And tho i almost always try not to blame losses on refs or bad calls etc. This game broke me. Becauee in a literal history making season that year, in a game with such importance, u cant miss blatant and obvious, game changing calls like rhe ref crew did that game. The NCAA literally chaged a replay rule the following season, specifically because of this game. That shot clock violation that obviously should have been callled. With less than 30 secs on the game clock, UK used their amazing defense and had Wisc guarded so well they couldnt even get a shot off. They did as good a job as can be done playing defense. So that would have gave UK back the ball with a 3 point lead, and under 30 secs left on clock. But EVERYBODY saw that crucial bullshit call. And likely cost them a magical and history making season.
