UConn Huskies Capture National Championship


The 2010-11 UConn Huskies finished the season perfect in three tournaments. Connecticut won the Maui Invitation to begin the season, followed by winning the Big East Tournament with 5 wins in 5 days and then winning the National Championship. Jim Calhoun now has won a third title and his second in the state of Texas. UConn defeated Duke in 1999 in St. Petersburg, defeated Georgia Tech in 2004 in San Antonio and in 2011 defeated Butler in Houston. Led by junior guard Kemba Walker and freshman forward Jeremy Lamb. The Huskies only allowed an amazing 96 points at the Final Four versus VCU & Butler respectively. 11 Big East Tournament teams made the field of 68, may where gone early. Many critics said the league was overrated. UConn finished 9-9 in conference play, cut down the nets. The game wasn't beautiful, nevertheless a win is a win, a title is a title.
