The Kentucky Wildcats perfect season is over after a loss to Wisconsin in the Final Four and now the Badgers will face the Duke Blue Devils on Monday night for the national championship in the 2015 NCAA Tournament in Indianapolis.

Wisconsin got some revenge after losing to Kentucky last year and now the Badgers are through to the final after ending the undefeated run for UK. Kentucky is now 38-1 and they finished one game out of the national title game after not being able to overcome Wisconsin at the end. Wisconsin won 71-64 against the expected national title winners in Kentucky and now they will battle against Duke on Monday night at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Sam Dekker hit a huge shot towards the end and Frank Kaminsky made some big plays for the Badgers, who now move on as a number one seed into the finals.

Wisconsin was in control early on in the game and took a 23-14 lead, but Kentucky was able to tie things up by the end of the first half. This was the second straight year that the teams played in the Final Four and now Kentucky's historic run is over.
