Connecticut's Epic Run Ends With N.C.A.A. Championship

After losing four of their last five regular season games,
the Connecticut Huskies rallied to win their next 11 games,
ending with a 53-41 victory over the Butler Bulldogs to win
their third national championship.

The Huskies and their star guard Kemba Walker took advantage
of some poor shooting by Butler in the second half, turning a
3-point halftime deficit into a commanding double-digit lead.
Walker had a team-high 16 points, and forwards Jeremy Lamb
and Alex Oriakhi chipped in with 12 and 11 points,
respectively.

It is the Huskies' first national championship since 2004.
