Watch NCAA Championship Live Stream Online 2014: UConn, Kentucky Square Off In Title Game
March Madness is finally coming to an end, but not before the anticipated National Championship game between UConn and Kentucky.
Although college basketball fans waited all year for the title game, barely anyone thought they would be waiting for this matchup. UConn is seeded seventh while Kentucky made it through as a number eight seed. What makes this championship matchup even more surprising this year is the fact that neither team even made it to the tournament last year. Kentucky just simply did not even qualify while UConn was banned from the tournament last year due to academic reasons.
Of course, that is now a distant memory for the team. UConn will look to take advantage of its speed and overall versatility. On the other hand, big players such as Julius Randle, as well as the guards, have carried Kentucky this far.
"Defense is the biggest thing for me. The points will come," UConn guard Ryan Boatright said, according to the AP. "I want to make him uncomfortable, don't let him get in a rhythm or flow. Their guards, God blessed them with height and they will try to take advantage of smaller guys like us but I've been the smaller guy my whole life and I've never backed down."
Shabazz Napier, another key player for UConn, is excited about the opportunity to play against the other top team remaining in the tournament.
"We all play the game of basketball to compete against the best," Napier said. "This is one of them games. ... They worked hard to get to this point and we did too. We're going to do our best to get this 'W."
