Dads of the Final Four ... This Wisconsin fan spent 16 hours creating his polyurethane foam hat. But this Badgers/Teletubby fan stole the show ... Wisconsin alum J.J. Watt should just stop coming to Lucas Oil Stadium ... Frank Kaminsky received a great tribute from his roommate and teammate Jordan Smith ... Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill took an unwarranted (but kinda awesome) shot at Duke after the game ...Bo Ryan did not love the game's officiating ... Athletes took to Twitter after the game to congratulate the Blue Devils ... Mitt Romney predicted the entire Final Four and national champion ...

Not only does Russell Westbrookhave 11 triple-doubles this season, but also he's making a big difference off the court. On Monday, he took the car he won for being named All-Star game MVP and donated it to a single mom.
