Isaac Humphries is every Kentucky fan right now

Hark the sound, we're going to the Final Four! 

We here at Swerve would like to take a moment to give a shout-out to those responsible: Luke Maye's tweezers for being out of commission, that one first-year on the team that made everyone hats and the benevolent, beautiful ghost of Marcus Paige haunting Greensboro this week.  

But we also need to take a moment for the loser. Kentucky put up a great effort (it's easy when you're a one-and-done NBA mill, folks!) and I can confirm that they induced a full-on anxiety spiral in The Daily Tar Heel's office this evening. 

I just want to keep looking at this one Kentucky player. His name is Isaac Humphries, and he's a sophomore forward for the Wildcats.

He's also from Sydney, Australia, which is basically the Upside Down:

But it didn't whether Humphries was fighting the Demagorgon or fending off Luke Maye coming in clutch, because he wasn't on his grind enough. 

It's OK, Humphries — we all already knew who the best Wildcats were. 

From one team that's taken its share of Ls to another — better luck next year, guys.

Not really, though.
