NCAA FINAL FOUR (Final) RECAP

Monday night was the night. Only two teams were standing! The UCONN HUSKIES and the KENTUCKY WILDCATS . This was a familiar script, as we saw these two teams go for the national championship in the 2011 Final four final. This year it was a shock that these two teams made it this far in the tournament as they would be a number 7 and 8 seed in there respective regions. The wildcats have defied all odds this season making it all the way to the final four and the final game with a all freshman starting line up. The huskies different then the wildcats have a similar to the team they had in the 2011 National Title game as there guards would be on that same team from 2011. This was a suprise that they made it all the way back to the final four but not completely shocking. There team was a very seniored team, versus this kentucky team because of some of there previous experience and championship capabilities. First half the huskies came out very strong, different then their semi final game saturday and the wildcats would go down early as they would find themselves in the middle of the first half down 17-8. By the end of the half the wildcats had cut the lead to 4 as they would only be down 31-35. Second half the wildcats were ready to take center stage as they were known as the "second half team" , but they would run into a major obstacle as there opponent would be very similar to them as they were also known as a "second half team". The huskies would out score the wildcats 25-23. Leading scorers for the huskies were Shabazz Napier who would go 8/16 scoring 22 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 ast. and Ryan Boatright who would go 5/6 scoring 14 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 ast. Leading scorers for the wildcats were James Young who would go 5/13 scoring 20 points and 7 rebounds and Julius Randle who would go 3/7 scoring 10 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 ast. The huskies would go on to win it 60-54.
