(A P)— Connecticut never let up
and Georgia Tech was never in the
game. 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.”
