Uconn has defeated the Kentucky Wildcats for the NCAA title Monday night in a final score of 60-54.

The Connecticut Huskies led the 40-minute basketball game the entire way, making it impossible for the Wildcats to gain ahead of them. 

Uconn is the first seven-seed to win the title, and was led by their top player Shabazz Napier who finished with 22 points and six rebounds. The team also went 10-for-10 at the free throw line, an aspect that Kentucky lacked who missed 11 of 24 free throws.

Napier is among three UConn seniors who were part of the Huskies' team who won the 2011 title. He was one of the players that stayed after coach Jim Calhoun announced his retirement even when the Huskies were ineligible for the NCAA tournament last season.

This is only Kevin Ollie's second season as a coach. He led his team to a 32-8 season. 

The Wildcats made only 15 of 34 attempts and struggled on the offensive side. 

After the game, Kentucky coach John Calipari told basketball analyst Tracy Wolfson that although he's proud of his team, he wishes that he could've done more.
