The Following is Not Approved for the Faint Hearted

It is official UK fans. Probably the most dreaded sentence a UK fan did not want to hear. "They entered in the NBA Draft." John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Eric Bledsoe, Patrick Patterson and Daniel Orton. They have until May 8th to take their name out of the draft, should they choose to remain a cat.

"I've spoken with all five guys concerning the NBA and have encouraged them to put their names in the draft," coach Cal said. "They've all met individually with our compliance office to make sure they have a full understanding of eligibility rules and academic responsibilities. I'm so proud of these five young men, with everything they did for us on the court and the way they represented us off of it."

He also said,

"It's extremely unusual for four freshmen from the same team to have this opportunity, but it's my job as a coach to prepare these young men for such opportunities."

The draft will take place on June 24th.

Duke Claims the Title With 61-59 Win

The 2009-10 championship trophy goes to the Duke Blue Devils as they prevail over a tough, #5 seed Butler. Butler kept it within just a few points the whole game, at times actually leading. 3 seconds to go, Butler's Hayward drove it up and shot a half court shot, that just bounced of the iron...instantly sinking the Butler Bulldog's hearts.
