Ollie probably majored in Recreational Studies or Basket Weaving at UConn if he graduated on time

Going into the game I assured myself that UConn's amazing defense that stifled Michigan St and Florida really did make them the favorites. People talk about the 30+ point loss to Louisville. In retrospect, when you live and die by your guard play and defense, once you fall behind in a relatively meaningless regular season game, there's zero incentive to expend the energy it takes to play their style of defense, and the game just opens up on you. UConn doesn't go on quick runs. They slow the other team down and then play ball control themselves. They build their leads a bucket here and there. When they had that 15 point lead, given Kentucky rarely shoots the three, and given they were young, I really thought UConn might win by 20+. Then Kentucky hit three quick threes in a row and it was only four at the half. UConn had nobody who could score, and Kentucky was playing great defense. But like a heavyweight fight, UConn kept taking body shots but refused to go down. I almost had a heart attack down the stretch, that's how crazy the game was. Wow. - Jeff
