Blue reigns supreme as Kentucky & Kansas set to meet for title
Anthony Davis and the #1 Kentucky Wildcats will be playing for the national title after putting away the #4 Louisville Cardinals, 69-61 at the Final Four in New Orleans, Louisiana.
It will be Kentucky's first appearance in the title game since winning a seventh NCAA crown back in 1998 and gives head caoch John Calipari another shot at the title that has eluded him.
Tyshawn Taylor made two big free throws late and All-American Thomas Robinson finished with 19 points and eight rebounds to lift the #2 Kansas Jayhawks to a come-from-behind 64-62 win over the #2 Ohio State Buckeyes at the Final Four—a game Kansas led for a grand total of 3 minutes, 48 seconds.
After scoring the game’s first bucket, Kansas didn’t lead again until Travis Releford made two free throws with 2:48 left. That lasted for 11 seconds, but the Jayhawks (32-6), who trailed by as many as 13, overcame another deficit and finally held on against the Buckeyes.
The win sets up the matchup between Kansas & Kentucky for the national championship this Monday night at 9 pm.
