VIDEO: Sam Dekker hits dagger to end all daggers, furiously burying Arizona
Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to Sam Dekker's alter ego, Sam Dagger.
With Wisconsin leading Arizona 81-76, the Wildcats opted not to foul and the Badgers were left to dribble out the clock. Frank Kaminsky swung the ball to Dekker with five seconds on the shot clock. Dekker drove, pulled up and hit a ridiculous, high-arching three to effectively seal the game and a berth in the Final Four for Wisconsin.
The triple capped an incredible game for Dekker, who scored a career-high 27 points in the 85-78 victory. He hit 5-of-6 from long range, 8-of-11 overall and 6-of-7 from the line, scoring eight of the team's final nine points and 11 of their final 14.
There may be nobody who's had a better tournament, and there may be nobody who's hit a bigger shot. Samuel Dagger, everyone.
