As I predicted the NCAA Men’s National Championship was a low scoring game and Butler was able to slow down Kemba Walker and kept him from having a huge game. However, Butler had the worst shooting performance in the NCAA Championship game history. Their defense was good but they missed many easy shots and helped UConn win by the final score of 53-41. Butler shot a mere 18.8% while UConn shot 34.5% from the field. Overall, this was a sloppy game with many missed shots and made you think where was the Butler and UConn team that played so well throughout the tournament. Many people have said this was one of the worst championship games in history and from the few NCAA championship games I have seen, I would have to agree. While Kemba didn’t have a huge game he still put up 16 points and had 9 rebounds. With his great performance throughout the tournament, Kemba was awarded the Most Outstanding Player (MOP) of the tournament. Now that the tournament is over and UConn are the new champs, the focus in NCAA men’s basketball shifts to the NBA draft. Depending on what players go into the draft, it will determine who will be the favorite for next year. From my point of view I don’t see UConn repeating because Kemba Walker will likely go in the draft and possibly their second best player (personal ranking) Jeremy Lamb will go as well. I believe that Kentucky will be the team to beat next year but only if their eligible players stay another year.
