What a game! What a victory!
From ESPN:
Every big shot Wisconsin needed, Frank Kaminsky hit.
The 7-footer carried Wisconsin to the Final Four with 28 points, including six in overtime, as the Badgers defeated Arizona 64-63 in a physical West Region final Saturday night.
Kaminsky had 11 rebounds and scored from inside and outside, including three 3-pointers, for the No. 2 seed Badgers (30-7). It's Wisconsin's first Final Four appearance since 2000, and first for 69-year-old coach Bo Ryan, who earned his 704th career victory.
"We want a national championship now," Kaminsky said. "We have made it to the opportunity to get there, so why not go get it?"
Ryan had a long tradition of attending the Final Four as a spectator with his father, who died in August.
"Today would have been my dad's 90th birthday," he said. "I just thought I'd throw that in."
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers joined the locker room celebration, telling the Badgers he'd been following them all season.
