Walker and Kidd-Gilchrist are Bobcats teammates, but tonight they were adversaries. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was one of Coach Cal's one-and-doners and Kemba Walker is a UConn guy.

Shabazz Napier On Winning: "This Is What Happens When You Ban Us"

UConn Coach Kevin Ollie Flips His Shit After Uncalled Foul
