In a very physical, hard-fought game, Louisville just couldn’t hold on. Both teams played exceptionally, but Kentucky played exceptionally at the right time (that is, the last minute) while Louisville missed some big opportunities.
UK led for all of 65 seconds in the game, taking the lead for the final time with 36 seconds left on the clock on a huge Aaron Harrison three. Five points and a block during a 7-0 Kentucky run culminating in a tie ballgame with 2:11 left from mercurial sophomore Alex Poythress were pivotal in Kentucky’s win.
In the losing effort, Louisville still played one of its best games of the year, with Russ Smith playing his first good game of the NCAA Tournament pouring in 23 points, Luke Hancock staying hot with 19 points on just 9 shots, and Montrezl Harrel racking up 15 points and 8 rebounds against competition that had a couple inches on him. However, Kentucky had four players – Julius Randle, Dakari Johnson, and both Harrison twins – with 14 or 15 points, highlighted by Randle’s standard double-double and a breakthrough effort by Dakari.
Possibly the most telling statistic of the game is Kentucky, who struggled for most of the year with free-throws, going 22-27 from the line; while Louisville shot just 13-23 from the line (Russ Smith, who shot 76% from the stripe in college career, went just 4 of 10).
Ultimately, Kentucky simply played in top form down the stretch, and are sure to be tough to beat for the rest of the tournament.

#MISSISSIPPI
Big KRIT puts on for his home state. He’s got it tatted on his wrist, his most frequent collaborator is also from Mississippi, and often references the state in his music. With how big KRIT grows to be in the years after this mixtape, he certainly has “done it big” for his state

Despite the black man’s history in America as a slave (or perhaps strengthened by it), Jay is always looking forward into a future in the skies
There is a long tradition, to which Jay E alludes here, of Afrofuturism – most prominently featured in music by acts like Sun Ra and George Clinton
Also a likely ode to Levar Burton who played the slave Kunta Kinte on Roots.
Then played Geordi La Forge on Star Trek.

This game – particularly the first half – was ugly, on both sides for both teams. St. Louis went oh-for-fourteen from three (ouch) – thanks to Pitino implementing a new defense for the Billikens specifically to guard the three – and turned the ball over 18 times (ouch) – thanks to Louisville’s trademark smothering press
On the other side, Russ Smith mailed in another underwhelming game, shooting 3 of 10 from the field for just 11 points and turning the ball over 7 times (although he did have 7 assists). Montrezl delivered with another double-double despite only shooting 4 of 9 from the field; and Cool Hand Luke once again made the difference, hitting 4 three’s and scoring 21 points

Jay has called himself the “Farrakhan of rap” multiple times before, likening himself to the Nation of Islam leader whom Jay says, saved his life.
Above: Jay Electronica & Mos Def meet Minister Louis Farrakhan
When he says he “gets it from the Wheel” he is referring to the Great Motherplane that the Nation of Islam teaches to be the fulfillment of the prophet Ezekiel’s vision of a flying chariot containing wheels within wheels.
On Jay’s verified Facebook and YouTube page profile pics show UFO schematics. He has a YouTube video list called “ Ezekiel’s Wheel. APDTA! ” found here http://tinyurl.com/phpynfo .
The Motherplane is powered by Master Fard Muhammad, the Great Mahdi (Allah in Person) and his Messenger and Christ, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad with 1,500 smaller, “baby” planes powered by the angels. Its purpose is destroy the current world of the wicked and set up a New World in which all of us who are righteous can live in peace.
Back in 1989, Minister Farrakhan made the announcement that both MFM & THEM were alive and that he was brought up on the Wheel in a vision-like experience.

The Wheel is where the Minister gets his duty from and where Jay gets his rhymes from.
Here is another clip of the Minister shortly, but cohesively speaking on the subject:

For more details, read what THEM wrote about it and watch a few episodes of The Time & What Must Be Done:

Another sign of the Wheel someone noted is of the wheels, found on ceilings on Egyptian Tombs.
7 Neters with The egg of metamorphousous aka “The Wheel” on their head that represents a change or resurrection in a sense.

This corresponds with what the Nation of Islam teaches the purpose of the Wheel is.
