Game 2 of the Final Four will take place between two teams who have already met once before this season. On November 24th, Kemba Walker and the then-unranked Huskies routed No. 9 Kentucky to win the Maui Invitational. Now, Kentucky hopes to exact some revenge against UConn in Houston. With both teams playing their best basketball of the season, this is match-up is one any true sports fans won't want to miss.
Starting Lineups
UConn: Alex Oriakhi (F-C), Roscoe Smith (F), Tyler Olander (F), Jeremy Lamb (G-F), Kemba Walker (G)
Kentucky: Terrence Jones (F), Josh Harrellson (F), Darius Miller (G), Brandon Knight (G),Doron Lamb (G)
Player to Watch: Kemba Walker, G, UConn
Walker has the ability to put his entire team on his back and take over a game. In their first matchup of the season, Walker’s 29 points led his Huskies past Kentucky in an upset. And, after averaging 26.8 points-per-game this postseason, it’s a good bet that the junior guard will put up yet another impressive performance.
My Bracket: UConn
This is must-see TV, folks. The winner of this game advances to the NCAA tournament championship game against either Butler or VCU with a very real chance of taking home the title.While Kentucky has been playing some good basketball as of late, UConn has simply been on fire. Look for the Huskies to tame those Wildcats in what should be a close game.
