 The Battle of the Champs,

the Title Game. 

Huskies against Bulldogs.

  It was a dog-eat-dog game,  but there was only one top dog...

      UConn was led by their superstar point guard, Kemba Walker. Kemba had 16 points, 9 rebounds, and 1 steal. Jeremy Lamb had 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 12 points all coming in the 2nd half. Alex Oriakhi pitched in with 11 points. UConn shot 34.5% from the court and 9.1% from the three point line, as well as 87.5% from the free throw line.

       UConn on defense was stellar as well, with 10 combined blocks, led by Alex Oriakhi and Roscoe Smith with 4. UConn had 51 rebounds, as 15 of them were offensive. Although UConn had 11 turnovers, they had help from the Bulldogs as they shot only 18.8% from the court. 

        Butler was led by senior Shelvin Mack who had 13 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block. Matt Howard had 7 points, 6 rebounds, and 1 block as well. Butler as a team shot 18.8% from the court, 27.3% from the three-point line, and 57.1% from the free throw line. Butler as a team had 40 rebounds with 19 of them being offensive. Sadly, they were not able to get their revenge. Now they are the runner-up for two years in a row as they fall to the Huskies 53-41.
