On Monday April 4, 2011, The University of Connecticut Huskies defeat the Butler Bulldogs 53-41 to win their 3rd national title. Coach, Jim Calhoun, also received his 3rd national title with the Huskies on this night. It was a night to remember for the UConn school and students, as the 8,000 UConn students and fans who were at the game started storming the court with excitement after the game. It was an exciting night for the Huskies and especially Kemba Walker who scored 16 points that night. This was not just an offensive night for the Huskies though. They held Butler to only 12-for-64 shooting, which is only 18.8 percent, the worst ever in a title game. This game made head coach, Jim Calhoun, a very happy man. At age 68, he became the oldest coach to win the NCAA championship, and he joined John Wooden, Adolph Rupp, Mike Krzyzewski and Bob Knight as the fifth coach to win three NCAA titles. The Huskies ended their year with an 11 game winning streak, we will find out next year if the Huskies can beat this years amazing record.
