Wildcats and Huskies Shock the Nation

Despite all odds the Kentucky Wildcats and the Connecticut Huskies have made it to the NCAA March Madness Championship.  Both teams, starting out with almost no odds of making the championship game, have shocked the nation on their games played last night, Saturday April 5^th.  They have truly shown that no matter what other people think, if you put your mind to something you can do it, despite the odds.

The University of Connecticut Huskies have had a difficult schedule to make it to where they are now, and had to take down several of the top teams in the nation.  Going into the tournament, they received a 7 seed in their division of just 16 teams. Many people thought that the Huskies were going to be taken down in an upset against St. Josephs the very first round of play, and they almost were too.  They made it to the second round and faced 2^nd ranked Villanova, and were expected to lose that game as well, but they powered through and played strong until the end, in a huge upset.  Next, the Huskies took on the 3^rd ranked Iowa State Cyclones in a well played game where they came out on top once again.  Next was the Elite Eight where they took on the Michigan State Spartans, who were ranked 4^th but were contenders to win the tournament; and yet again the Huskies shocked the nation.  Last night was the final four game where they played number one ranked Florida, a difficult game.  The Huskies came out strong and pulled away at the end in a victory and ticket to the Championship game on Monday Night.

On the other side of the bracket, the Kentucky Wildcats made their way to the championship game as well.  They also had a difficult schedule, taking on undefeated Wichita State and winning.  Then beating 4^th ranked Louisville in the next round.  Kentucky went on to play 2^nd ranked Michigan state where they won in the elite eight, and last night took on 2^nd ranked Wisconsin Badgers where they came out with a last minute one point victory to win it and proceed to face Connecticut in the championship.

Now, in just what may be two of the highest ranked seeds to play each other in NCAA March Madness Championship history, the 7^th ranked Connecticut Huskies will take on 8 ranked Kentucky Wildcats in the championship game held tomorrow night.
