Uconn's size too much

Uconn 's size was too much, both in the semi's and in the final... Last year we called the game between Duke and Butler - David v Goliath, but this year, it truly played out to this tune. . . Uconn just was too big and athletic for Butler. Give Butler tons of credit and most notably, Brad Stevens for the incredible job he has done in 4 short years, they LEAD at halftime. . . But, if you watched that first half, you could see, the size of the huskies was taking it s toll on Butler. The butler big men could not get anything inside. Compare this to throughout the tournament, they were bullies inside with Howard... Kemba and this team, played as good a defense as I have ever seen. I witnessed them first hand in DC where they just donimated and continued. I thought Kentucky would beat them and their run would end, but that DEFENSE and size proved otherwise. . . Calhoun has had more talented teams - remember the Rudy Gay team? - but this team was the essence of what a TEAM is and should be. They had a star, a budding star, a young point, and quality bigs that played like a train throughout the tourney... Calhoun has won three titles, pretty incredible, especially with this team.
