The big dance came to an end last night when it featured the final two teams left in the NCAA Tournament: Kansas vs. Kentucky. Kentucky was the odds on favorite and they certainly showed why. The first half was all Kentucky as they just disrupted the Jayhawks' offense while the Wildcats were able to score big and take a 14 point lead at the half. The second half was a bit different as Kansas fought to come back. However, Kentucky managed to hold back Kansas' comeback efforts long enough that when they started to get hot, they didn't have enough time left. Kentucky holds back Kansas, 67-59, and wins the National Championship.
Congrats to the Wildcats as this is their 8th National Title in Basketball and the first one for their coach, John Calipari. Let's just hope this isn't their first vacated one over the course of time. As for the player of the game, Anthony Davis didn't score a lot of points but he was dominant on defense. He had 16 rebounds and 6 block shots. He and his teammates shut down the low post game of Kansas for most of the game and that's why they won. He also had 6 points and 5 assists.
Well the dance is over and Kentucky is this year's Lord of the Dance. All that's left is to find out who the Lady of the Dance.
P.S. Lexington, let's just keep it "Dancing" in the UK, understood?
