Louisville was the one school that could stay with the UConn guards. As we say every year, it all comes down to match-ups. Napier and Boatwright made Kentucky start their offense 35 feet from the basket. They tired them out. Napier said after the game how Ollie made them run until they almost passed out in preseason, and how Kentucky seemed gassed and bent over while UConn was still running upright. He also said how they have competitive free-throw shooting contests every practice. Recall UConn set a tournament record for highest free-throw shooting percentage for teams playing at least three games. Kentucky missed more free throws than UConn attempted, but UConn's game plan was to contest every shot in the paint knowing they had the advantage. In sum, their coaching and preparation was flawless down the stretch, with a true leader in Napier to make them believe.

P.S. Talked to my son. He was already at the team's hotel partying, lol.
