The Huskies won their sec ond national championship with a start-to-finish effort expected from the team that was ranked No. 1 twice as long as any other this season. The 82-73 victory Monday night was a 40-minute glimpse of what Connecticut does best. The Huskies played defense like the team first in the nation in field- goal percentage defense and blocked shots. The offense was keyed by running off missed shots and Geor gia Tech missed a lot of shots. “I was thinking ‘You want to run with us? You don’t know about running with us.’ We made the tact that we were going to come at them and play Connecticut basketball,” Huskies coach Jim Calhoun said. “The biggest thing was we were free to play our basketball against a team everybody assumed would be quicker, but we actually used our qu ick n ess to o u treb o u n d them.” Coupon 10%offon first cleaning Bright Star Entertainment presents A Talent Contest UConn Never Lets Up to Win Connecticut players Rashad Anderson (left) and Taliek Brown start celebrating late in the NCAA Final Four champion ship gam e Monday.
