90 - 60 Senior L.D. Williams, his eyes welling, lamented the end of his career. "When I was a little kid, I dreamed of playing college basketball here at the highest level, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, at home," Williams said. "It's over. It's over."
Senior Ish Smith, the point guard whose icy overtime jumper beat Texas in the first round, walked out of the locker room smiling, his upbeat nature surviving a long last night. "It was just those bigs," Smith said, alluding to the Kentucky front line that contributed to his 1-for-9 shooting fiasco. "Their bigs are so big that you have trouble shooting those floaters over those guys. They just weren't falling tonight. Give those guys credit. They're a heck of a team. Coach (John) Calipari is a heck of a coach. If they make their shots, I would be surprised if they don't make the Final Four."
