Last call for the big dance!!

UConn and Kentucky vie for title

UConn will face off with Kentucky for the 2014 NCAA Men's Basketball crown in Dallas to finish off another season of college basketball.

Neither team was picked to be here but both have proved they belong through the "madness" of March. UConn benefited from two crucial games close to home at Madison Square Garden en route to Dallas For the title tilt though they will need excellent defense from their back court again to fend off the young Kentucky crew with a penchant for hitting shots in the clutch. UConn does however have a few holdovers from their championship team of the Kemba Walker era and may be poised enough to take the crown from the thoroughbreds. 

Of course I had a Florida-Wisconsin final picked so each team made me look bad in the semi finals. For the championship, I think the Huskies will finally rattle the Wildcats enough to sneak past them for the crown which will be a big coup for the American Conference in its first season of existence.

Prediction: UConn 69 - Kentucky 66
