Longshots in the Championship Tonight

Post Game

They had a chance to win. In Football Terns - they choked in the Red Zone. 
Missing Freethrows is what everyone talks about.
For me it was not playing as a team on offense. One guy got the ball and drove to the Hole - No passing - No play - often with little success. So yeah, 5 more Freethrows or 3 Offensive scores and they win.

To the Kentucky coaches credit - in his on court interview - right after the loss - he did not throw his players under the bus - He took all the blame and credited his players. We need more of that in sports.

Congrats Uconn!
Napier is Ridiculous!

Pre Game 

Let’s keep this short and sweet.  Kentucky was 50-1 and UConn was 100-1 to win this whole thing.

I am proud of my prediction that the Kentucky Wildcats would be one of the last standing and am holding a ticket at 35-1 having bet on only 3 teams.

It would be less than honest if I did not confess at this 11th hour that I believe UConn will hoist the trophy tonight.  They have the single best player on the court and how many times can Kentucky continue to squeak by with last second heroics?

I TRULY want to be wrong and have these diaper dandies take it all the way to the house.

Enjoy what I think will be an incredibly exciting contest perhaps similar to the last second win by Duke over Butler a few years ago.
