RECAPPING UCONN-MSU AND KENTUCKY-MICHIGAN

7 Connecticut vs 4 Michigan State

UConn has made it to the final four as a 7 seed, the only other team to do that EVER? The 1984 Virginia Cavaliers led by Rick Carlisle and Olden Polynice.

Shabazz Napier could have transfered when the NCAA ruled his Huskie’s ineligible for the postseason tournament in the 2012-13 season…but he didn’t. And now he can try and do what Kemba did, lead  his team to a national title. Now it’s time, because they are a team you are not familiar with, to break down their CORE 4. Obviously, they have Napier, the Senior is just an all-around beast. They have an expert defender and shooter in DeAndre Daniels who doesn’t get nearly enough credit. Then there’s Ryan Boatright their stepback, drain it from the corner type of guy. He and the rest of the team locked down the Spartans. Then there is Niels Giffey,  you’ve probably never heard of him, but he went 5-7-7 (Points-Rebounds-Assists) against the Cyclones of Iowa State and added 6 points against MSU, the difference in that game? 6 points. Niels is an example of a guy that doesn’t get enough  credit,but he accepts that and knows that. He could be the guy that is  the difference between a Natty Title or walking home a loser. And for MSU this is Tom Izzo’s first Senior class that hasn’t made it to a national semifinal.

8 Kentucky vs 2 Michigan

Most of the kids on this Kentucky team will be in the pros next year, the NCAA just a 1-year stop between High School and the NBA, why not make it last? Projected lottery pick Aaron Harrison hit the NBA 3 with 2.9 seconds to play to give the Cats the win, seems fitting.
