Cheap Jordans - UConn Wins NCAA

TCharles had 25 points and grabbed 19 rebounds Tuesday night as UConn routed Louisville 76-54 and captured the Huskies sixth national championship of Air Jordans.

It was not just that Connecticut claimed another title. It was how they did it. UConn won every one of its 39 games by double digits, an unprecedented run in college basketball with Jordan shoes.

Charles was the star of the last big win. She commanded both ends of the floor and Louisville, which lost badly to UConn for the third time this season, had no one who could stop her.

Coach Geno Auriemma had said before the tournament that his junior center would be the key to UConn winning the title. A year after he benched her in the NCAAs for inconsistent play, Charles delivered.

It was another challenge and I wanted to show my teammates they could depend on me, Charles said. I wanted to send off Renee being happy. I wanted her to have all smiles for the next step in her career.

Angel McCoughtry finished off her stellar career for Louisville with 23 points. Candyce Bingham was the only other Cardinal in double figures with 10 points as Louisville (34-5) shot a dismal 31 percent from the floor.
With the game tied at 17, Connecticut scored nine of the next 11 points, including seven by Charles, to take a 26-19 lead on her three-point play.

After Bingham scored to draw Louisville to 30-24, the Huskies turned up their defense. Louisville missed 18 straight shots spanning the half and Connecticut built a 19-point advantage.

It is the big stage, our first time playing in a national championship game, Louisville coach Jeff Walz said. The first five minutes was what I was most concerned about. We went back and forth and I felt really good about things. Then we started to rush some shots.

Louisville (34-5) came into its first title game with little pressure. The Cardinals were big underdogs, bidding to knock off three No. 1 seeds on their way to a championship.

Busloads of Louisville fans made the 250-mile trip from Kentucky to pull for the Cardinals, and even though the game was not  sold out for the first time in 17 years, the matchup Jordan Shoes of Big East schools still had a raucous feel to it.

But it was the Connecticut players celebrating at the end as they carried Auriemma off the court.

The victory put the Huskies in the same class of Air Jordan Fusion Shoes as UConn-s  other unbeaten teams, in 1995 and 2002. Besides Connecticut, only Tennessee and Texas have run through a season without a loss.
