UCONN DEFEATS COLD-SHOOTING BUTLER FOR THIRD NCAA MEN'S BASKETBALL CROWN

At Houston:


Kemba Walker scored 16 points, and the Connecticut defense held Butler to a championship-game record-low 18.8% shooting as the Huskies won their third NCAA men's basketball national championship (their first since 2004) 53-41 Monday night.  For coach Jim Calhoun, who, at age 68, became the oldest coach ever to win the championship, his third title puts him in an elite class:  Only John Wooden, Adolph Rupp, Bob Knight, and Mike Krzyzewkski have an many or more titles.
