PHOTO BY BRITNEY MCINTOSH | STAFFStacey Poole and Terrence Jones sit in the locker room in silence after UK’s Final Four loss to UConn in Houston on Saturday. The Cats had a chance to win off a last-second shot that fell short.
HOUSTON — Every-thing in the postgame lockerroom had the mark of a sea-son-ending loss to it. BrandonKnight and Terrence Jonesboth sat with their heads intheir hands once interviewswere over. DeAndre Ligginsstared blankly at his name tagfor his soon-to-be-emptylocker. Josh Harrellson stoodin the corner, still with tearsin his eyes, choking up whenhe talked about his teammatesor his time at UK.
“Nothing hurts like this,”said Harrellson, after UK’s56-55 Final Four loss to Con-necticut. “My last time put-ting on a Kentucky uniform.It’s harsh and it hurts. But Inever dreamed of being inthis position, so I’m happy.”
The dream for a national
championship had ended, andLiggins was still dealing withmissing the last-second shotthat could have won thegame. He second-guessed it,saying he should have drove.He paused mid-sentence dur-ing his explanation, gatheringhis thoughts. Everyone, in-cluding himself, said it was agood, clean shot. But he stilllooked like he was carryingthe weight of that miss, andthe loss, through the lockerroom.
“It’s going to be tough toswallow for a couple days,”Liggins said. “We had somany doubters. If we couldhave won this, oh man. Itwould have been a dreamcome true.”
Getting to the Final Fourwas an enchanted run by it-self. Nobody expected it. Notthe experts, who wrote UK

HOUSTON — BrandonKnight, twice the hero for UKin the NCAA Tournament
with game-w i n n i n gshots, wass t ruggl ingon thebiggest stageS a t u r d a y.His statlinewas night-marish, apaltry 5-of-22 from thefloor with16 secondsremain ing
in the game.Yet despite all Knight’s
missed shots — which Con-necticut head coach Jim Cal-houn refers to as “expensivepoints” — no shot was ascostly as UK junior guard De-Andre Liggins’ missed poten-tial game-winning 3-point at-
tempt with around five sec-onds to play and the Catstrailing 54-52.
“I took the shot with con-fidence, and I thought I wasmaking it; that’s the most im-portant thing to CoachCal(ipari),” said Liggins inthe locker room, still onlyminutes removed from astinging 56-55 loss to UConnin the Final Four.
“I was under the rim andit looked good,” UK seniorforward Josh Harrellson saidof Liggins’ shot. “I was happyfor him to take that shot.”
However, that one missedshot, which Liggins said had“good arc” but was one thathe “babied,” wasn’t an isolat-ed incident. It was representa-tive of the whole story in thisnational semifinal.
In fact, much like lastyear’s Elite Eight game

For the first time in 13years, the people of Lexing-ton were ready to party likeit was 1998. When VirginiaCommonwealth and Butlertipped off Saturday, severalbars on South Limestone hadlines from the front door tothe street.
People began showingup at Two Keys Tavern at 10
a.m.“It’s important to come
here because there are somany people here for thesame reason,” agriculturecommunication seniorWilliam Edmiston said.“There are a lot of peopleyou wouldn’t normally talkto that you can start a con-versation with.”
Medical student AlexBlandford proudly wore blueand white striped overalls at
Two Keys.“The outfit is to support
our team,” Blandford said.“We’re trying to get as wildand crazy as we can.”
Art studio senior TommyShelburne got to Two Keysat 2 p.m. and was trying toenjoy every second of hislast NCAA Tournament as aUK student.
“I want to celebrate likeit’s my last,” Shelburne said,

Two military aircrafts landed on the MainBuilding Lawn Friday to help out a UK pro-gram.
UK’s Army ROTC was heading to a jointmilitary exercise on Friday, and officials in theprogram got the Army National Guard to givethe top 20 cadets a lift in two Black Hawk hel-icopters.
Captain Joey Orr, MS3 instructor at the
UK Army ROTC program, said the top 20cadets came from the Order of Merit List,which is determined by grades, performancein physical training and participation in theprogram. He said they earned the right to betaken to the base by helicopter. Others weretransported to the base by bus.
“This weekend we (had) our field trainingexercise,” Orr said. “In the spring we do itjointly with the University of Louisville. Wedo it at the Harold Disney Training Center, outin Barborville, Ky.”
Orr said this is not a side of the Armymost cadets see while in the ROTC program

LOS ANGELES —When responses such as“abomination” and “worstsong ever” are the most print-able comments about a hitrecord like Rebecca Black's“Friday,” you know it’s fullyentered the realm of pop phe-nomenon. But for anyonewho’s surprised that this sim-ple ditty has connected in abig way — the 13-year-old’srelentlessly chipper YouTubevideo is about to cross thethreshold of 66 million hits— don’t be.
Patrice Wilson, the entre-preneurial musician whowrote and produced Black’srecord and created the videothat quickly went viral, hasbeen both praised as a popgenius and villified as theworst sort of exploiter ofyouthful dreams for chargingBlack and her family $2,000for the whole package.
But if nothing else, thistune demonstrates unequivo-cal songwriting savvy: Hetapped a song structure that’sembedded in our collectiveDNA, one that’s been thefoundation of dozens, evenhundreds of hit records overthe last half a century.
“Friday,” you see, is“Heart and Soul” revisited. Ituses that fundamental four-chord progression almostanyone who’s ever touched apiano keyboard has learned.
It’s the basis of the most-played pop radio hit of alltime, the Righteous Brothers'“Unchained Melody.” It’s thesame progression that SamCooke used in “You SendMe.” And “Chain Gang.”And “Twistin’ The NightAway.” It’s also the corner-stone of the Penguins’ “EarthAngel” from 1955, FrankieLymon & the Teenagers’1956 classic “Why Do FoolsFall In Love,” Skip & Flip’s1960 hit “Cherry Pie” andcountless other doo-wop,R&B, pop and rock hits that
surfaced in the 1950s and‘60s before a couple of fel-lows from Liverpool camealong and knocked down thefences hemming in pop mu-sic's structural vocabulary.
And even the Beatlesweren’t immune to its pull:Ringo Starr's contribution tothe “Abbey Road” album,“Octopus's Garden,” used thesame formula. It’s resurfacedregularly since sometimeswith just the slightest varia-tions in the chorus to DonMcLean's 1972 anthem“American Pie,” in AliciaKeys’ 2007 megahit “NoOne,” and we’ve heard itsomewhere in nearly everyseason of “American Idol.”Wilson surely knows howeasy it is to apply the sim-plest of melodies over thatsure-fire progression, andthat’s exactly what he did forBlack, giving her a lead linethat requires the barest mini-mum of a vocal range to han-dle.
You can sing a single noteover this progression which iswhat Black does with her lim-ited voice for most of thesong, and it still sounds musi-cal. It spans hardly more thanhalf an octave.
Anyone can sing this inthe shower and millions un-
doubtedly have been of late.It’s also easy to play on anykeyboard or guitar.
Thousands of songs havebeen written using the basicthree-chord blues progres-sion, in musical terms re-ferred to as the I-IV-V pro-gression, based on the spot onthe conventional Western mu-sical scale where you’ll findthe root notes of each of thosechords.
The reason it’s so ubiqui-tous is because of the palpa-ble sense of resolution createdwhen the progression returnsto that home chord. Celebrat-ed country songwriter HarlanHoward famously defined agreat song as one consistingof “three chords and thetruth,” a phrase Bono latchedonto in one of U2’s most cel-ebrated songs.
Howard, the composer ofthousands of songs, showedhow successful that combina-tion could be on a red, white,blue, yellow or black guitar.The “Heart and Soul”/”Fri-day” variation on that pro-gression simply drops a mi-nor chord into the mix afterthe opening major chord, anaddition that creates an extrameasure of tension and dramathat heightens the rounding-third-and-coming-into-homefeeling of satisfaction whenthe entire I-vi-IV-V chord cy-cle finishes.
The triangle becomes aself-contained, geometricallyperfect square. Lyricallyspeaking, “Friday” carries theillusion of simplicity in giv-ing voice to one teenager'sbig dilemma: whether to kickit with her friends in the frontseat or the back seat.
Even those who abhor“Friday” — and there areplenty of them — will proba-bly have to confess that theyhave a hard time getting it outof their heads. It’s stuck therefor good reason.

“Even thosewho abhor ‘Friday,’ —and there are plentyof them — will proba-bly have to confess
that they have a hardtime getting it out of
their heads. It’sstuck there for a
good reason.”
“because it is.”Shelburne was wearing a
pair of jorts — jean shorts,popularized by UK’s No. 55,Josh Harrellson — and saidhe would do anything, eventrade his soul, if it meant UKwould win a championship.
“This is the biggest thingever to me,” Shelburne said.“I cut off the legs of my $100jeans.”
Shelburne said he lovedeveryone inside Two Keysand considered them all to behis family.
Hugh Jass Burgers gener-al manager John Sanders saidthe first customers arrivedaround noon, and the restau-rant was full by 1 p.m.; yet,many chose to wait in thelong line to get inside any-way.
“They won’t get in,”Sanders said.
Art education freshmanLauren Burch waited formore than an hour to get intoHugh Jass Burgers.
“After the game it will becrazy — win or lose,” Burchsaid. “If you win, party hard;if you lose, party harder.”
After the game, policewere in position with riotgear, but the Big Blue Nationdid not pour onto SouthLimestone to celebrate. Somecried, and others vented, butno large crowds gathered inthe street.
Business graduate student
Steven Jesse arrived at TwoKeys Tavern at 11 a.m. anddid not regret his decision toarrive that early.
“You can’t beat the BigBlue Nation,” Jesse said. “Ifyou, six months ago, said wewould make the Final Four,everybody would be happy.”
Geology junior JordanDorough arrived at the Pad-dock at 5 p.m. and said themain difference betweenwatching a game in a bar asopposed to at home was“more shoving.”
“Before we lost, it was
awesome,” Dorough said.“Everyone was amped.”
Kinesiology senior andUK hockey player Jay Mor-gan went with his friends toTwo Keys immediately afterthe game to avoid the “one in,one out” crowds.
“It’s really glum rightnow,” Morgan said after theloss. “Everyone is not toohappy. It’s way different thanlast week.”
Morgan referred to UK’swin over North Carolina lastSunday, after which crowdsflooded the streets to cele-brate.
Lexington Police Lt.David Marcum said the areawith the highest concentrationof people fluctuated after theloss, as people began to leavethe Limestone area.
Marcum said the totalnumber of arrests and numberof couches burned for thenight is not yet known.

I am a woman, dreaming of working in thesports field. The excitement of a big game, the dif-ferent opinions and thoughts people share and the
big upsets are a natural high. Yes, it is just as exciting to a
girl as it is to a guy. Growing up, Iwas always talking and arguingwith the guys about sports. Mostwere impressed that I actuallyknew what I was talking about andthat I wasn’t just choosing a teambecause of its mascot or colors.Telling a guy that I hope to land ajob on the sports field, I usuallyget the same reaction: “You’re jok-ing, right?” or “What do you knowabout sports?!”
Really, though, if most guysopened up about sports to girls, I
am sure it could be another thing they had in com-mon.
Some guys get heated when it comes to theiropinions about sports, which is completely fine.The passion and love/hate relationship they havewith teams and players is exactly what I go throughwhen I am watching sports.
While most girls are watching Oxygen or Bra-vo, I am sitting in my living room watching “Par-don The Interruption” or ESPNClassic. The factthat ESPN, FOX Sports and many other programsare introducing new woman announcers is giving
me even more hope that I can make it. When I began college three years ago, Erin An-
drews was a big name at ESPN, and I couldn’t helpbut want to do exactly what she is doing. Sheknows what she is talking about, and has the perfectvoice to make you want to listen.
Her looks may be a big part of her fame, but themere fact that she knows just as much as — if notmore than — many guys out there says a lot. Shegives me hope that it is possible to pursue a careerin sports and that it is OK to enjoy sports, just likethe guys do. She has spunk, an appealing voice andknowledge about the subject.
She was one of the first women to get millionsof guys’ attention by talking about sports, and thatis something that amazes me. She has worked veryhard to be where she is, and I hope to follow in herfootsteps some day. Because of her popularity, I be-lieve that many more girls are pursuing careers insports, and the competition is bittersweet to me. Iwill finally have other girls to converse with.
The inspiration I live by is to never give up, donot listen to what other people say about yourdreams and do not be afraid to go above and be-yond. One of the best feelings is proving otherswrong, and anything is possible.
Girls will continue to get involved in sports,whether men like it or not. Come on boys. Exactlywhat you’ve always wanted, isn’t it?

off midseason, and sometimesnot even their own fans, asHarrellson recalled.
“Even our own fansdoubted me and doubted ourteam, looking on to nextyear,” Harrellson said.
UK rode the “nobody be-lieves in us” mentality towins over Ohio State andNorth Carolina. Even whenthey were favored by Las Ve-gas and by many experts,John Calipari still tried tomaintain it by saying every-body was picking againstUK.
That thought process, ofgoing up against the world,fueled UK.
“It was a great year,” saidJones, who was visibly shak-ing during interviews. “Allthe people that didn’t believewe couldn’t make it this far,always picking us to loseevery game this whole tour-
nament, just going out andproving them wrong togeth-er.”
Together — that’s whatwas special about this team. Itwas a daily grind, to unify, tobelieve in themselves, towork for the team even asCalipari preached that it wasa players-first program.
“Everyone really wantedto come together and dosomething special, and I ap-preciate that,” Knight said.
At the beginning of theseason, UK was disjointedand individualized, perhapsnone more so than Jones. Butthat improvement was whatmade Jones so proud.
“A lot of guys pushedourselves to be better team-mates, be better on the floor,”Jones said. “A lot of guysmade sacrifices to better theteam. These are my broth-ers.”
Jones among them. Aftershooting to the top of the Na-tional Player of the Year de-bate early, he started ceding
some of his shots to make theteam more balanced. Harrell-son practiced extra every day,in an attempt to maximize hislast year at UK. Knight gotout of his comfort zone, be-coming a vocal, team-firstpoint guard. Liggins, an ad-mitted loner last year, wantedto “be around us more, andcare,” Jones said.
The finality of the losswas tough for the players,knowing it was the last timethat specific group of playerswould be together, and thatthey fell just short of reachingtheir goal after accomplishingso much.
The players — the broth-ers — felt the worst for Har-rellson after the game. Thelone senior had finally metthe game that was his last in aUK uniform.
“But I’m not going towash my uniform,” Harrell-son said. “It’s going to hangup like this. Final Four logoon it and everything.”
REFLECTSContinued from page 1
“ We had so many doubters. If we had wonthis, oh man. It would have been a dream cometrue.” DEANDRE LIGGINS
Junior guard
against West Virginia inwhich the Cats started bymissing their first 20 3-point-ers, UK was shot out of thestadium with a 33.9 percentfield goal percentage com-pared to UConn’s 46.9 per-cent field goal percentage.
And so it goes. Anothercase of an untimely shootingnight when an untimelyshooting night was the lastthing UK could afford to havehappen.
“When (basketball sea-son) ends, you fall off a cliffjust then,” UK head coachJohn Calipari said. “Youknow it, you fall off a cliff,it’s over.”
Worse yet, unlike the sea-son-ending loss to West Vir-ginia last season, the Cats stillhad a realistic chance to ad-vance to the title game de-spite the basket seeminglyshrinking to pea-size dimen-sions.
The Cats’ 21 first-halfpoints were the lowest outputin a half since the 22 theyscored against Tennessee on
March 6. The Cats’ total of 55points was the lowest all sea-son and the lowest since aBilly Gillispie-led UK teamlost 60-53 to Florida in March2009.
Zero offense, yet onechance to win remained at theend.
Some may argue that theresult may have changed hadLiggins, a defensive stopperby nature, not taken the shot.
The play wasn’t designedfor Liggins, but rather forKnight to take the shot — thelast alternative was to findsomeone to take it — yet itprobably wouldn’t matter ifKnight took the shot.
Calipari said Knight hadtired legs. Shooting is all inthe legs, preferably a freshpair.
And you can’t blameKnight for passing the shotup, because without his twoprevious game-winners, UKdoesn’t advance to the FinalFour.
“I should have drove it,”said a second-guessing Lig-gins. “But I hit a three and Igot fouled and I made a shotand I thought I had the hothand a little bit.”
And you can’t blame Lig-
gins for not second-guessinghis first instinct to launch theshot.
“He was the one whogave us a chance to win,” UKjunior Darius Miller said ofLiggins and the four straightpoints he had scored to cutthe Huskies’ lead to two. “It’sdefinitely not his fault.”
Sometimes the easiest ex-planation for what wentwrong is the one that is mostobvious.
“I just think we missed abunch of open shots,” Har-rellson said.
For a team that’s been sogood at hitting a “bunch ofopen shots” all season, spottyshooting was the bittersweetdifference in this game.
In the game of basketball,it’s sometimes hard to com-prehend how mere inches —a hair — can either send ateam into euphoria or send ateam packing.
But the best basketballplayers learn to live by thatcalculus.
“It is what it is. I shot it,and I missed,” Liggins said.
UK will have to bidesome time to shoot the nextone.

at UK, but its goal is to showcadets their options in theArmy.
“It should excite them notonly about their future asArmy officers, but what thepotential has for that future asleaders in the Army,” Orrsaid. “This is just one way toshow (the cadets) the Army’saviation side of the house.It’s our job to give them atleast some type of knowledgeon what all those options are,so it can help make up theirminds.
“The aviators inside theaircraft are proficient in theirskills — they came last week
and surveyed the landingzone out there, and they knowexactly how to come in.”
Captain Stephen Martin, amember of Kentucky Nation-al Guard’s Bravo Company2147 Aviation out of Frank-fort, agreed with Orr, sayingeverything for Friday’s land-ing was planned out in ad-vance.
“We had a good plan,”Martin said. “Obviously, fly-ing into downtown Lexingtonwith all the trees and every-thing, we take it slow andmake sure we do everythingsafe.”
The Black Hawks landedjust after 10 a.m., intriguingpassers-by as it took morethan 10 minutes to complete-ly shut down the helicopters
after touchdown. Whilecadets were waiting on theaircraft, they took pictures, asmost had not seen a helicop-ter up close.
Once the helicopters wereshut down, the cadets wereable to approach the vehicleand got a 40-minute crashcourse on safety in the air-craft they would travel in forthe next hour.
Martin said it was great tobe able to help the ROTCprogram and give the cadets anew experience.
“It was an experience, it’scool,” Martin said. “This is acool Friday to be able tocome in and land on UK’scampus, because a lot oftimes we only do our trainingareas, supporting the troops.
Getting to support the ROTCtroops is fun.”
Both Orr and Martin saidthe cadets do not get to dothings like this often, so itwas going to be an experi-ence the cadets remember fora while.
“These (cadets) don’t getmuch of an opportunity to doit,” Martin said. “We lovesupporting them as well andhelping giving them theirtraining and make it as realis-tic and raw as possible.”
Just before 11 a.m., thecadets loaded onto the air-crafts as they started back up.At about 11 a.m. the BlackHawks lifted off from theMain Lawn and headedsouth, off to their training forthe weekend.
CADETSContinued from page 1
HOUSTON — BrandonKnight hit a buzzer-beatingthree, but this time it wasn’tfor the win, and it wasn’t forthe tie.
Instead, it could only cuta Connecticut lead from fourto one, a final score of 56-55that left UK just short of go-ing to the National Champi-onship game.
“The game was prettymuch over, whether I missedit or made it,” Knight said. “Itjust goes like that some-times.”
UK had a chance to takethe lead at the end afterKnight stole the ball andgained possession with 16.6seconds left, down twopoints. Coming out of a time-out, UK called a pick-and-rollfor Brandon Knight, but he
didn’t have a lane to drive orspace to shoot. He passed toDeAndre Liggins — who was1 for 6 on the day at thatpoint — to take a three-pointshot.
“I should have drove it,”said Liggins. “But I thought Ihad a little bit of the hothand.”
The shot clanged off thefront rim, which was precise-ly how the night had gone forUK. UK shot 12-for-35 fromtwo (34.3 percent), 9-for-27from three (33.3 percent), and4-for-12 from the free-throwline (33.3 percent, a seasonlow and a number ESPN cal-culated would happen 7 in1000 attempts with thisteam). Terrence Jones notedthat UK had wide open shotsfor Darius Miller, Knight andLiggins, shots that are “dan-gerous for any team.” But theshots — shots that would nor-
mally fall down for UK, oneof the best shooting teams inthe country — didn’t fall. Thepoor shooting in the first half,especially, created a 10-pointdeficit at the half.
Everyone on the team ad-mitted they were tight at thestart of the game.
“I guess we weren’t ex-pecting everything that goeson with the Final Four, all thepressure and everything,”said Josh Harrellson, whosaid the nerves started show-ing right after the tip. “Wejust came out and let it get tous.”
For the three veterans, thesame ones who had propelledUK to this unlikely FinalFour berth, it was a night-long struggle. Miller and Lig-gins both finished 1-for-7.The players who played wellwere Doron Lamb, who fin-ished with 13 points — “I
told him for three days hewas going to have a biggame,” UK head coach JohnCalipari said. “I just felt it.”— and Jones, who had beenflying under the radar theentire postseason. He fin-ished with 11 points on5-of-8 shooting and15 rebounds, al-though even hehad a fatal flaw —0-for-5 free throws.
“We couldn’tmake shots,” said Knight,who finished with 17 points.
The Cats had a stretchwhere they could at the be-ginning of the second half,rattling off four straight 3-pointers — the only ones UKwould make all game — totie up the game inside sevenminutes. But at the end of thegame, UK started settling forjumpers. Legs looked tired.
“I felt like the shots we
shot looked (like we weretired),” Jones said. “I don’tknow. I respect everbody’sdecision when to shoot,though. But I think we were a
little tired and didn’tfight to get to the
rim those last fourminutes.”
Two of thosewere by Knight,whose shots kept
clanging off thefront of the rim,
barely off the mark, as theywere almost the entire game.He air-balled one, and if thatwasn’t his only one of theseason, it was an extreme rar-ity. He finished what Jim Cal-houn called an “expensive”6-for-23 to get those team-high 17 points, and Caliparinoted that the magnitude ofthe game may have gotten tohis even-keeled freshman.
“I could say (it’s just an-
other game) all I wanted,”Calipari said. “But there’ssome anxiety that goes alongwith this game that may havegotten to him a little bit.
The inefficiency was am-plified by the volume. Knighttook 23 shots, more than dou-ble that of any two of histeammates combined. Thesame happened with Con-necticut’s star, Kemba Walker,who finished with 18 points— although some of thosecame from free throws earnedby getting “Michael Jordancalls,” as Liggins put it.
So UK held Walker rela-tively in check, and heldConnecticut as a team to alow value. Before the game,Calipari told his players that56 was the target number tohold Connecticut to. UK didjust that.
“I just didn’t think wewould score 55,” Calipari said.
