Highlights: UCLA men"s basketball falls to Kentucky in Sweet 16 From one Kentuckian to another, the Big Blue Nation holds a spot in their hearts for Kentucky Basketballs own.
Dominique Hawkins and Derek Willis,
Thank you. To those growing up in the state of Kentucky, you have set the ultimate standard for what it means to be a Kentucky Basketball player. The whole state had its eye on you and you have not disappointed.
To the Bluegrass State, Kentucky Basketball is the ultimate pastime. Nothing trumps Big Blue as they hit the hardwood in March. Its refreshing to see just a couple of boys from Kentucky out there running around and making plays.
The best thing about watching you guys play is knowing the hard work and dedication that you have put in up to this point. You didnt just play for Kentucky, you were Kentucky. Also, you guys are the epitome of the spirit that lives in each and every Wildcat fan across this great state and beyond.
For four years, we have had the pleasure to watch you grow and develop as players and young men. Yeah, you could have chosen to play elsewhere and shine as we knew you would. But, you accepted the challenge to play for one of the most storied programs in the history of college basketball.
Its not easy to accept the fact that this will be the last time we see the two of you suit up with Kentucky across your chest. In addition, the spark that you bring to the game will be missed. Its been an unbelievable run for the two of you. It has not gone unnoticed.
Once a Wildcat always a Wildcat
Next season, there wont be a Dominique Hawkins out there making plays and giving the business to someone on defense. There wont be a Derek Willis spotting up on the wing to knock down a three to get the Rupp Arena crowd to its feet.
Thank you for the memories. But most importantly, thank you for being the blueprint for what it truly means to represent Kentucky on one of the biggest stages while carrying the weight of the state on your shoulders.

Dalai Lama: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)
Heres a clip from last nights last week tonight, where John Oliver heads to India to sit down with the Dalai Lama to chat about uplifting topics like Tibetan persecution by the Chinese government, the over 100 Tibetans who have self-immolated in protest of Chinese oppression, and the controversy surrounding what will happen after the Dalai Lama dies, including the possibility that he will not be reincarnated. Despite the grave concerns, the Dalai Lama has a better sense of humor than most of the people Oliver has interviewed, not to mention enduring positivity: I have no negative feelings. I just feel love, he says. I practice taking others anger, suspicion, distrust, and giving them patience, tolerance, and compassion. Watch the full interview above.
Dow Jones Industrial Average Tops 21,000 for First Time
It was a whipsaw trading session, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) exploring a 188-point range on both sides of breakeven. While the Dow appeared set for a triple-digit loss, reports that President Donald Trump asked House Speaker Paul Ryan to pull the vote on the healthcare bill to replace Obamacare shortly before the close had stocks coming off session lows. Nevertheless, the Dow dropped for a seventh consecutive session, capping its worst week since before the U.S. presidential election . The S&P 500 Index ( SPX ) and Nasdaq Composite (COMP) likewise suffered their sharpest weekly losses since November and December, respectively. Amid the sell-off in stocks, the CBOE Volatility Index ( VIX ) had its best week of the year -- snapping its relatively rare streak of weeks without a move of 10% or more.

Kentucky vs. North Carolina: Final Moments Kentucky Basketball ends its season to North Carolina. Rebounding could have been the straw that broke the Cats back.
Its never enjoyable when an ex rebounds better than you, even if you broke up with them.
When freshman guard Malik Monk launched that go-ahead three-pointer against the Tarheels inDecember, that was Kentucky Basketball sending them the break-up text. Weneeded it to be over, said, Seeya, and moved on.
But when we met again,UNC forward Kennedy Meeks ripped down 17 boards, helping his team to a healthy 44 (10 more than Kentucky).
Mar 26, 2017; Memphis, TN, USA; North Carolina Tar Heels forward Kennedy Meeks (3) and guard Nate Britt (0) box out against Kentucky Wildcats forward Isaac Humphries (15) in the first half during the finals of the South Regional of the 2017 NCAA Tournament at FedExForum.

Free throws were an issue
Know whats cool? Free stuff, including throws of various kinds. Whats more, free often implies easy, and in basketball, an uncontested shot from 15 feet is easy. In theory.
First, UNCs Justin Jackson took the games openingfree throws, and he made two of three. Then, sophomore guard Isaiah Briscoe took Kentuckys first two attempts of the game, but he missed both. It was a sign of things to come, as the Wildcats finished the contest 12-19, and the Tarheels 18-26.
While thats not a monstrous difference as far as percentages go, the biggest takeaway is that all three of Kentuckys starting guards (you know, the fast guys who are supposed to drive the lane and get to the free throw line) shot 50 percent or worse. At the end of the game,Monk was 1-2, Briscoe 1-4 and DeAaron Fox 1-2.
Humphries Midrange Game Kept The Cats in Reach
The instant Isaac Humphries had his first bucket, all of Big Blue Nation collectively thought the same thing: Kentucky hasnt lost a game when Isaac Humphries scores. Maybe we jinxed ourselves.
But the big man from Down Under had himself a great game. He was seemingly automatic from the midrange, and this neat little play shows that Humphries can step even further from the basket:
Did you see that grin at the end? Humphries was cheesin, and hopefully h**l be out there hitting threes next year.
He capped off the evening with 12 points, five rebounds, one assist and one steal.
Big Shot Dom
What a player, what a guy. Senior guard Dominique Hawkins has been such a model teammate over the past four years, and he and fellow senior Derrick Willis deserve our thanks.
He filled in admirably for Fox during the first half, nailing shots and inspiring the crowd. Despite this Elite 8 loss, Hawkins elevated his game all March long, and he proved crucial to the success of Kentucky Basketball.
Hawkins finished with 10 points on 2-3 from downtown and three rebounds. Thank you, Dom. We mean it.
John Calipari and his team did Kentucky Basketball proud
Where success goes, the hate is sure to follow. Its what weve come to expect as Kentucky Basketball fans.
Weve accomplished a lot during Caliparis eight years: six Elite 8s, four Final 4s, two national title games and one NCAA championship. If you ask me, thats pretty d**n good.
Also, who says our freshman dont care?
All of Kentuckys playersfreshman includedfought hard as a team because they wanted to win as a team.
Even though its sad to see this group of young men each go their separate ways, BBN will always look back fondly at this tournament run. It was a h**l of a ride.
