April 01--Bill Murray isn't a fan of the Wisconsin basketball team but he is a fan of the state of Wisconsin.
"I love Wisconsin, I really do. And they've given us all the dairy products that anyone could ever want," Murray said on Thursday's episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live."
Murray, who grew up in Wilmette, was shown on TV frowning as Wisconsin defeated Xavier with a buzzer-beater in the second round of the NCAA Tournament last month. Murray's son, Luke, is an Xavier assistant coach.

"The good guys lost, and I was rooting for the good guys," said Murray, 65.
Kimmel pointed out that someone put Murray's disappointed face on a T-shirt and sold the shirts for $14.99 each.
"(Wisconsin) deserves a T-shirt," Murray said.
Murray voices the bear Baloo in "The Jungle Book," due out April 15. He sang "The Bare Necessities" with co-star Neel Sethi on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," which airs 10:35 p.m. weeknights on ABC.
