April 5, 201115 yr * - The combined total of 94 points was the lowest in the finals since 1949, which of course means it is the worst of the shot clock era. * - UConn's 53 points were the lowest by a champion since 1949, and Butler's 41 points were the lowest by any team since that same year. By the way, that 1949 game that keeps popping up was a 46-36 victory for Kentucky over Oklahoma A&M out in Seattle.
April 5, 201115 yr I was hoping that smiley was coming :lol: I wanted to see what kind of response I would get. :lol:
April 5, 201115 yr Matchups so often are the key factor in tournament games and U Conn got two good matchups in the Final Four. UK's achilles heel all season was teams that had size and strength inside. Good matchup #1 for U Conn. Then in the title game they go against a team they matched up even better with in the size battle. U Conn's big men completely dominated this Final Four. They completely controlled the middle and allowed their perimeter defenders to stay with the shooters. Congrats to the Huskies on another title.
April 5, 201115 yr Mark Emmert takes stage. Where's Lee Harvey Oswald when you need him... :lol: Geesh going hard. :lol:
April 5, 201115 yr Author By the way, that 1949 game that keeps popping up was a 46-36 victory for Kentucky over Oklahoma A&M out in Seattle. Yep. Of course, they didn't have a three point line or a shot clock back then. Without the 3 point line, Butler would have scored 32 points, which would have been the least ever in the finals. That's how bad they were.
April 5, 201115 yr We will eventually fnd out that Mark Emmert is as dirty as they come.....IMO...There is just something not right there!!!

April 5, 201115 yr When Butler's kids go to bed tonight they'll be able to remember every single shot the team made. So they've got that going for them.
