Tonight's game could be one that you will remember for the rest of your life, or for Calhoun it will just be on to the next one, adding a third ring to his collection. The clear distinction for the game will come down to coaching, and this coaching can be seen through the two most important players in tonight's game; Sheldon Mack, like Stevens is the less recognizable in the match up, and Kemba Walker, like Calhoun is the one with the more accolades in the match up. Calhoun, one of the most respected coaches in college basketball is now going to his 3rd national championship game in 34 seasons, and has had great success at UCONN. He is led by his Junior Player of the Year candidate Kemba Walker, supported by a cast of star-studded freshman. Brad Stevens is a different bread, numbers unlike any other, simply savage stats. In 4 seasons coaching he is now going to his 2nd straight national championship. His team is quite the opposite, it is a team that is led by a stud in Shelvin Mack, surrounded by a bunch of older gym rats, who have been on the magical run before, except this time they want to complete that journey. It should be a great game and both squads can be summed up with 2 approaches to tonight's game.
Calhoun: "Do not get caught up in the hype."
Stevens: "Act like you've been there before."
Edge- Butler, gotta go with Stevens here, the absolute man, and not to mention today's Sav of the Day. And you've seen that look of determination on Matt Howard's face, this is the year Butler!
