Wisconsin makes it to the Final Four Again as Sam Dekker Rains Threes on Everyone

Arizona's been one of the best defensive teams in college basketball this season, only giving up an average of 59.7 points per game. Opponents only shot 32.5 percent from beyond the arc against them this year, but Wisconsin's Sam Dekker frankly don't give two nuts.

Dekker finished a blistering 5-of-6 from beyond the arc on his way to 27 points, while Big Ten Player of the Year Frank Kaminsky scored 29 to lead the Badgers past the Wildcats, 85-78.

Wisconsin led by five with less than 25 ticks left and the shot clock winding down when Dekker casually did this:

Dekker scored eight points in the final two minutes of the game, helping assure at least one Big Ten school a trip to the Final Four (Michigan State plays Louisville Sunday at 2:20 p.m.).

It didn't really matter what — or who — the Wildcats threw at Dekker. He just smiled and ended their tournament lives.

The best quarterback in the NFL approves.
