The winningest program in college hoops history took home their 8th national title last night, when Kentucky, the 2012 #1 overall seed beat Kansas 67-59 in New Orleans. A year after Jeremy Lamb captured the nations attention on UConn's fairy tale run to the title, it was a different Lamb, Doron Lamb leading the way for the Wildcats with 22pts. Anthony "Fear the Brow" Davis, was also a huge factor despite only shooting 1-10 from the floor, submitting a stat sheet stuffing: 16 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, and six blocks. Kentucky was also aided by Jeff Withey being his typical useless fuckin self, and the Jayhawks bench managing to contribute for a combined 0 pts and 5 fouls. It was about time Calipari won his first title, and his recruiting philosophy finally paid off, it will be interesting to see if he continues to recruit in the same manner, or if he will now shift to a more conventional approach and look for more long term contributors. All in all, a job very well done to Coach Cal and the Wildcats, and thanks for providing us with one of the most exciting and entertaining seasons in history.
