National Championship

Last night the number one team in America, Kentucky squared off against a Kansas team who has not played to well in the tournament except for beating UNC and Ohio State in thier last two games. Right from the start the wildcats took over. Thier defense was amzing and they were able to put the ball in the hopp often. At the end of the first half the score was 41-27 with a Kentucky lead. So as you can imagine being down by that much could make a team get down on themselves but that was not the case for Kansas. They made a solid effort to fight back into this ball game by outscoring Kentucky 32-26 in the second half. In the end there was just too much Knetucky and they won by a score of 67-59. Thomas Robinson of Kansas defineatly did his part to help Kansas with 18 points and 17 rebounds. Robinson, if he enters the draft will probably be sent to a team in the first round because of his sieze, speed and ability to take over a game. He will not be the only person in that game that will be drafted for the NBA next year. A bunch of Kentucky's players are prospects for the NBA. There is even a rumor that player of the year, Anthony Davis and forward, Michael Kidd- Gilchrist might even go number one and number two in the draft. A few more of the wildcats are being looked at such as Doron Lamb, Terence Jones, Marquis Teague and Darius Miller. Anthony Davis was named the Final Four MVP. Davis only had 6 points in the championship which makes it seem almost impossible for him to recieve that award but he also had 15 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 6 blocked shots. He shut down the Kansas offense and he deserved that award for sure. It is depressing that this will probably be the last college basketball entry I write but I must admit it was fun while it lasted.

Anthony Davis, forward, Player of the Year, Final Four MVP, for Kentucky
