The dream of turkish Deniz Kilicli ('90) finished. West Virginia lost in the semifinals of the NCAA Final Four. Duke won 78-57, qualifying for the big final. Kilicli played 7 minutes for the Mountaineers: 4 points (2/3 FG), 1 rebound, 3 turnovers and 1 foul. The european prospect finishes the season averaging 3.5 points and 0.9 rebounds in 6.7 minutes, but he only has played 15 games. He missed 20 due a suspension because he was a professional in his home country.

In the other semifinal Butler beat Michigan State (52-54). The big final will be played tomorrow in Indianapolis.
