The rims were tight, the shots weren’t falling and points were at a premium, surely one of the ugliest championships played on college basketball’s biggest stage. Ah, but for Kemba Walker and UConn, the final score was a thing of beauty. In a game that featured 40 minutes of guts and grit, Connecticut made Butler look like the underdog it really was, winning the NCAA men’s title Monday night with an old-fashioned, grinding, 53-41 beatdown of the Bulldogs. Walker finished with 16 points for the Huskies (32-9), whose amazing late-season streak could be stopped only by the final buzzer. They won their 11th straight game since closing the regular season with a 9-9 Big East record that foreshadowed none of this.
