For the third time, the Final Four

3/29/09


Kemba Walker, tied a career high with 23 points and led Huskies over Missouri 82-75 in the West Regional final on Saturday. UConn fought hard for their trip to Detroit, on the court and off, and is headed to its third Final Four this decade -- where they will meet either Louisville or Michigan State. JIm Calhoun's 'Elite Eight' record improves to 3-5 and he will be looking to stay unbeaten in the Final Four next weekend. Heading into this tournament, many questioned the legacy of Uconn's upper classmen, some calling them the least decorated class of the last 20 years. That was arguable, but today there is to be no argument; AJ Price, Jeff Adrien and Craig Austrie, the core Seniors, will leave Uconn as some of the best Huskies of all time. They have entered the high society, one of the three best teams ever to wear the American Flag Blue. Congrats boys, you've done us all very proud.

Congratulations are in order for the Villanova Wildcats, who beat Pitt in a new NCAA classic, good luck to Louisville today -- they could have us feeling all a little 1985 before the day is through...
