Connecticut was not supposed to be here either. Way back in November they were picked to be tenth in the Big East. TENTH! It seemed that was a reasonable place. Coach Calhoun was a year older, surrounded with allegations. The team was mainly Freshmen and Sophomores teamed up with an All Big East caliber player. I don't think people doubted they could make the tournament, but not on a scale like this. But let us not forget, UConn was picked tenth, and they finished in ninth, right on par almost. The Huskies played like a team centered on one guy with a bunch of talented young guys seemingly to be one year away. Than something happened, the Madness began in NYC. And Kemba put a team on his back. This run is magical, this run is epic. This run right here by Kemba Walker is down right mad. Thats what makes this tournament great and this level of the game great. The regular season is important, not eminent. This game allows you to play through down spells, and get them figured out. Calhoun and Stevens are both very respected coaches. Both are well deserving of a Championship. This game will be fun. So whether you ripped up your bracket weeks ago, or not. This game will be in the History books forever. It will cap off one of the more memorable March's of recent memory.
