Preseason No. 1 UConn downs Georgia Tech 82-73 to win national title

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Best at the beginning, even better at the end, the Connecticut Huskies closed out the season by easily winning the title they expected all along.

Led by 24 points from Emeka Okafor and 21 from Ben Gordon, UConn outclassed Georgia Tech 82-73 on Monday night for the national championship.

Connecticut became the first team since the 1996 Kentucky Wildcats to win the title after being ranked first in the preseason. The Huskies wound up on top of the college basketball world, thanks to the tall, quick, deep and talented roster assembled by coach Jim Calhoun.

WOOOHOOO!!!
