Wow. UCONN-not believe what a game this was. The UCONN Huskies won 54-60 over the University of Kentucky Wildcats on Monday April 7 in the NCAA Men’s Basketball National Championship. UCONN made an incredible comeback after their ban from the tournament last year by stunning college basketball fans across the country and ruining everyone’s perfect bracket this year. Sorry, bracket-makers, but no one is getting a billion dollars from Warren Buffet this year. However, as far as KU fans are concerned, the University of Kentucky got their payback from the Championship game of 2012.

“I do hate Kentucky, especially Calipari, more so I guess I’m glad they lost. The game was pretty sloppy for a championship game with a lot of missed shots, which was disappointing as well.” – Jon Prost, senior from St. Louis

“I don’t love UCONN, but I’m glad they won because I just liked watching John Calipari walk off the court like a greasy loser because UK beat WSU, along with KU two years ago.” – Jessica Lotz, junior from Andover
