re: Could Bamas loss in the tourney possible be the greatest melt of all time.

That would be a no. Kentucky's loss to Wisconsin ranks above whatever theoretical loss you have in your mind. That team was not only dominant, but historically off the chart. Holding UCLA to single digits in a half.

And the way they lost, with Calipari refusing to put one of the best point guards in the nation (Tyler Ulis) on the floor as the twins continued to turn the ball over. Kentucky pissed away a six point lead ... with consecutive shot clock violations ... while Cal did - whatever it is he does when he's pushing his guys to the NBA.

That team also featured Devon Booker - the same kid you see lighting it up for Phoenix now. Cal couldn't win with that lineup. Booker was benched early ... who knows why.

Kentucky Melt > Alabama Melt in Your Mind
