If you would have told me Irish "Big" Zach Auguste would go for 20 points and nine boards on 10 of 13 from the field I would have told you the Irish stayed close. Add in Steve Vasturia's 16 points and Jerian Grant's 15 points and six helpers I would have said the Irish took them to the Buzzer didn't they?

As Grant's last second money ball went over the rim in regulation the Kentucky Wildcats seemingly out at 37-1 finds a way to win beating Notre Dame 68-66. It was Freshman Karl Anthony-Towns on the block and in and around the painted-area that wore the Irish out with a game-high 25 points . Towns also had five boards and four assists and two steals as that #1 pick for the 2015 NBA Draft might be "Big Jah" Jahlil Okafor of Duke but he has some serious company in Towns and Wisconsin's Frank Kaminsky.

Notre Dame played a near perfect game as they assisted 16 times on 26 made baskets. That tells me their offense was super-efficient and they had an "All Hands on Deck" Approach. The Harrison Twins money ball and two free throws at the end were huge as they have been clutch since arriving to Lexington.

Auguste was dominant as well as the Wisconsin Badgers will take a page out of the Irish Playbook and try to give UK some of those same looks on offense. Problem is the Irish plays four guards and two of them are in wing forward bodies.

UK advances and will get the Badgers again this time not in Big D but in Indy...
