Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 4140256, member: 2117"] Insane game watching Louisville vs. Wisconsin. Both teams played at an incredibly high level and it's a shame either of them had to lose. Praying Wisconsin can finally win a title pull this out over Nebraska. Lots of history between the two programs. Cook coached at Wisconsin in the 90s and put the program on the map before jumping over to Nebraska. In his first year at Nebraska, he played against Wisconsin (whose entire roster was players he coached) and beat his old team to win a championship. Since then he's won 3 more titles and has turned Nebraska into a perennial powerhouse, while Wisconsin has found ample success and is now in their 5th Final four and 4th championship appearance, but they haven't been able to win the big one yet. Wisconsin has beaten Nebraska now 7 straight times and should be the heavy favorite entering the title match, but Cook seems to work his magic in these types of games. His squads historically have choked when they're expected to win it all but have thrived as underdogs. I don't think anyone expected they'd be in playing for another title, so anything can happen.
