Congrats UConn
By Dan Rodgers
I don't have much to say because the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship game was surprisingly boring. The first half was low scoring and Butler couldn't make a shot in the second half, shooting 18.8 percent for the game. That's just abismal...but my heart kind of goes out to them for losing back-to-back championship games.
UConn didn't do anything special, but they did enough to win. Kemba Walker's stat-line was nothing impressive as he shot 5-19 from the field, but he had nine rebounds. If you watched the game, you would have seen some incredible plays of him jumping out of bounds to save the ball or following his shot for an offensive rebound. Plays like that are what wins a national championship.
UConn was undoubtedly the hottest team coming into the tournament, having an okay season but winning five straight games in the Big East tournament for the automatic NCAA bid. If you win five straight games in the Big East, you're a hot team because of how good the conference is.
Congrats to the Huskies, unfortunately the women won't be celebrating with them after tonight's NCAA Women's Championship.
