Kentucky claims NCAA title with win over Kansas

NEW ORLEANS — This NCAA tournament was described as Kentucky’s to lose. When the confetti fell from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome rafters Monday night in the 67-59 championship game victory against Kansas, it not only affirmed that the Wildcats were far and away this season’s best team but that young talent can produce victory. For all the criticism of coach John Calipari’s one-and-done rotating door of top prospects to the NBA, these Wildcats comprised of three starting freshman and two sophomores can claim they won one before they were done.
