The NCAA Champs Are...

The Louisville Cardinals and Michigan Wolverines were the teams to play in the final game of the season, the NCAA Championship. The Cardinals won the Big East and gave their all to win it all as well, and they did by a score of 82-76.

The Wolverines Spike Albrecht wasn't even recognized as a player by the security at the game. The security had to get somebody to identify him and this turned out to be the best game of his life so far. He was 4-5 on 3 pointers and had 17 points in his large 28 minutes. Trey Burke also performed awesome for his Wolverines. He had 24 points this game as well as 3 steals and 4 rebounds.

The Cardinals had quite a game with Chane Behanan playing for 12 rebounds and 15 points. On top of that Peyton Siva had about the best game of the season for him with 18 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 steals. Even Luke Hankock pitched in again with 22 points leading all scorers this game!

The Louisville Cardinals are the NCAA champions and that just tops off coach Rick Pitino's week with this and being inducted to the hall of fame!

Shockers Can't Pull it off

The Wichita State Shockers had a double digit lead over the Louisville Cardinals at different parts of the game and in the second half they crumbled. They were outscored by only seven points, but with a half time score only one point apart they needed to be the team outscoring the Cardinals.

For once I can say truthfully that Russ Smith is not the leading scorer in this game. He met his match tonight, his name in Cleanthony Early who had 24 points and 10 rebounds, you should remember his name it might not be the last time you hear it.

Early's high scoring still wasn't enough because the Cards had two players with 20 or above, Luke Hancock with 20 and Russ Smith with 21. As for the Shockers, Ron Baker is a great kid and definitely a good basketball player. He had 11 points, 8 rebounds, and he is also one of the best freshman I've seen play this year.

Even though this team of up-setters is going home to Wichita, I think they are a great team, a threat, and a message seeds don't matter skill does. That is something this team has and so does Louisville, so congratulations Louisville for making it to the championship on Monday, and congratulations to the team that busted brackets around the nation!
